If it makes a bigger difference in encoding time, crf 20 would be probably enough quality i can live with for sure. I know that i´m kind of odd in this regard 😄
- 1:11:59 (when the guys head got smashed into the mirror) --> looks like a or 2 or 3 frame drops. Checked with the original and there isn´t any stutter
- 1:29.05 - 1:29.27 --> seems to be off again like 1:08.33 but less distorted
I can encode at crf 18. It won’t take any longer to encode than crf 20. I have a fast PC so a full 4K encode using HEVC (H265) usually takes about 10-14 hours depending on the content. I just set it at night and the next morning its done. Trying the same thing on my macbook would take about 60 or more hours to encode. lol
When the guy gets smashed into the mirror, yes I did cut his head turning which was necessary to remove the peeing the way the scene and audio was done. So I’m ok with this. At this point I won’t be making any more changes to the video portion unless I find a serious glitch like optical flow errors.
The scene at about 1hr29m (Batman and Rachael in the Batcave). Yes I definitely see your point again with the Bat vocals. I realize also that this and the scene at Gordon’s trashcan both had some noise reduction I applied. I am removing it which will also help the issue quite a bit.
