I can see the difference when I lean in and concentrate
What I've discovered is, the MPEG encoder can see the difference even if it's not concentrating. :-) What seems like a small amount of noise to you and me, can be huge to the MPEG encoder, which can't tell the difference between noise and sharp detail. This is why my denoiser has been so incredibly helpful with low-bitrate recordings, i.e. my usual quest to squash as much video as possible onto a VCD. (The samples posted on the web site are 800 kbps video and 128 kbps audio, a rate that would let me put 2 hours onto a VCD.)
For instance, consider the waterfall clip I posted. There was very little noise in the original video, but the improvement in the frothy water is still very noticeable, even without leaning in.
Any noisier examples?
Not yet. I'll try to find something appropriate. (Crud...my years of perfecting my video recording quality just bit me in the ass! LOL)
I'm trying to find the (visually) best settings for material where the original noise is distractingly strong.
I haven't found much in the way of hard-and-fast rules for settings. I've discovered that the denoiser will pick up on noise in the original recording, so just because it was on LaserDisc or digital cable TV doesn't guarantee anything.
