What is a proven way to remove all those DCT effects with underwater/Dark/Night scenes.

Blockbuster ?????? yeah

DCTfilter ??????? yes

I use the following settings for them :

DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)

Vs

Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)

Yes.

Not at all. Despites its name, this filter has nothing to do with DCT blocks.

The other best way is to stop using your crappy downloaded Divx sources !
(use MKV with RV9/10 insteed )

okay thanks, Are these the recommended settings, if used just before the addborder line.

hmmm, can you educate me on this one, what does it do then ????

Can the doctor say"I cant cure this !!!", the challange is to find a solution for all kinds of sources....good or crappy , sometimes you fail, sometimes you dont

Anyways whats "MKV with RV9/10" ???

Read this thread to see how we try to use DCTFilter to solve a problem (before to go for other solution). You will see what DCTFilter is for.

Real Video codec (version 9 or 10) is a video codec that do not suffer about DCT blocks like Divx/Xvids. But let's forget, it's off toppic.

thanks for the link, but is this the recommended setting for blockbuster ??

To avoid creation of DCT block into the converted video, yes it is (just before the addborders line, like you said).

But the doctor is intelligent enough to recognise what are the "hidden" subjetcs between the lines the patient is talking about.

The challenge in here is NOT "trying to fix thrashy overcompressed sources where std. workout procedures have been used before they have been shared". For that there are enough xvid/divx sharing communities on earth.

If you got a too blocky result (in this case your source) then do a backup again from the original using better settings.

Supermule this is a clear warning cause in here in the past there occured a big diskussion about this and the final decision from the forums owner was to kick out those subjects.

The lines above are very unemeotional and souveraign typed as you could imagin a member "Supermule", living in "Donkeyland" which is permanently asking for enhancing bad source qualities "could" push this forum into a "suspect" view for Official/Government Departments if at least a Moderator didn't spoke out a clear warning like this.

To me its clear paradox: On the one side changing the forums state in a way so no more activity like in the past is given, but on the other hand, continuing via the back door.

Please dont point me on "No XVID/DIVX Therms have been directly named" .... its clearly recognisable.

I clearly work with all kind of sources but in terms with the rules of the forum, I dont discuss the "ones not to be" in this forum.

I discuss only the methodologies and technicalities to clear my doubts.(thats not violating the terms of the forum).

I respect the rules of this forum without Question!!!.
