Yes, I think a number of folks have mentioned that the yuvmedianfilter tends to over-soften the picture if the luma component is processed. Most of the filters I'm aware of are from the NetPBM suite and really want to work with RGB data instead of YUV. A long time ago I did some experimentation with converting the data to PPM, processing the data and then converting back to YUV. Looked nice but it was quite slow. mpeg2enc does emit information that perhaps could be used in a 2 pass method. One could take the lines of the form: INFO: [mpeg2enc] Frame end 40348 19.19 1487017.09 6.0 243910.37 and construct a processing list for the second pass. On the second encoding run a filter could read the list and only soften/blur the frames that exceed whatever threshold is specified. Perhaps someone could write a blur (Gaussian comes to mind) routines that works on the 4:2:0 data so that conversions to/from PPM/RGB aren't needed. > I really just wanted to make it an optional argument to --reduce-hf, > but I'll be damned if I could get getopt to see the optional argument. Hmmm, yeah - optional arguments might take some extra coding. > If 384 was the default before then perhaps 512 is a bit limiting - > you're already most of the way to the limit.

That's not like me. ;) > Very fine detail does slowly disappear, and the noise jumps about a little. > I probably couldn't see any of it on a tv. Perhaps it might show up if you knew exactly where and where to look and had a nice HD LCD display. > Someone earlier said that they got heavy edge ringing.
