Maybe I did use the wrong plugin because the last encoding looks more noisy to me than the previos encodings...


No, it will look that way. The problem is that, before, I was actually using the FFT filter to do some of the stabilization work, but that caused a lot of banding in dark scenes that I just couldn't live with. It also caused bad motion estimates in places that actually added to the instablilty in spots. This version trys to maintain more of the grain of the original, which I never really meant to remove in the first place. I have thought about an option to remove more grain for those that hate the grain, but it will slow down the encoding considerably, and I'm not sure how artifact free it will be. Hopefully you can live with it, but if not, let me know. BUT, isn't the image so much more stable now?!!!! (for instance, compare the "Along time ago..." scene)
