In this case I think that will be the case. I ran the 2nd encoding run remotely and will view the results tomorrow. Matt did mention less high frequency noise being introduced - which would be in line with the size of reduction observed tonight. It'll be interesting to hear what others report with y4mscaler. > your video though a Gaussian blur filter would increase the compression ratio, > but it's probably not what most people would consider an improvement. In _some_ cases it could well be an improvement. Selective blurring/smoothing is one of the tricks used, I'm told, to improve the quality of movies that get released on DVDs. Much too depends, doesn't it, on the source material?
