Out of curiosity, how did you settle on all these different filter lengths? You might even try running y4mspatialfilter before and after y4mdenoise in case the latter introduces any high-frequency artifacts. > Interesting that as the length of the filter increases from 1 to 3 > that the average bitrate increases gradually. Nominally, raising the "length" parameter (actually the DC group delay of an infinite-impulse response (IIR) lowpass filter) increases the amount of filtering done; but if the thresholds aren't also raised what tends to happen is that yuvdenoise throws out a lot of the filtered pixels in an attempt to avoid visible artifacts. So if you have a lot of motion or really bad noise, raising -l alone won't improve things. My "standard" set of values is "-l 1 -t 4","-l 2 -t 6", and "-l 3 -t 8" for light, medium, and heavy filtering.
