digitalFAQ.com Forums [Archives] - kvcd: There's some block noise left?

Hi there!
I'm more than happy that I've finally managed to fit SPIDERMAN with very good quality on 2 CDs.
I've tried to do this using DivX, but though I'm not quite a n00b the results didn't satisfy me. I don't know if you know Gordian Knot's compressibility check which uses quite the same method as the KVCD predicting script does. However, SPIDERMAN is the worst source I've ever seen. I think this is due to the many high-action scenes and camera pans.
I've tried nearly all KVCD templates, but the 704x576 template (CQ 74, 1-18-3-1-50, default-matrix) gave me the very best result. There's some blocknoise but I think that can't be avoided with a resolution higher than 352x288. I've taken the script kwag posted and only changed the res.

Code:

LoadPlugin("D:\ripping\Avisynth-Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")

LoadPlugin("D:\ripping\Avisynth-Plugins\FluxSmooth\FluxSmooth.dll")

LoadPlugin("D:\ripping\Avisynth-Plugins\Blockbuster\Blockbuster.dll")

LoadPlugin("D:\ripping\Avisynth-Plugins\LegalClip\LegalClip.dll")

mpeg2source("E:\SPIDERMAN\dvd2avi.d2v")

Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.4, seed=1)

Your templates are great! And SansGrip's filters too! Don't you stop working!
