For what it’s worth, I’ve seen Chouonsoku’s samples/proof in motion and would trust what he says. If Team Negative1 wants the best possible 1080p encode, they should at least be willing to listen to him. Not that anyone else doesn’t know what they’re talking about, but samples/proof are better than words
Don’t worry, we are listening. Like you, we want this to look as good as it possibly can, and we’re not going to let our own egos get in the way of that 😃
