I’ve only seen screen shots so far, but something looks very amiss about all these rips (irrespective of the file size)
This is supposed to be an epic sci-fi blockbuster, but all the posted images appear to look very ‘cropped’ and/or low res.
Is the film supposed to look like it only takes up half of the available screen?
Oh nice. Didn’t know about this. Seems like an interesting solution!
Works fine for me. One has to take care not to overdo it, so the enconding filter sticks to erase noise and doesn’t start to remove fine details. I usually iterate over steps of five for the setting in FFmpeg/SVTAV1 on a 10 second sample of the source to find the best setting.
The player will then reproduce the noise pattern the encoder has identified during playback.
