Useful for the most difficult sources. +- Bob: Attempts to better preserve motion for a slight penalty to perceived resolution. + + +Denoise +------- + +Denoise reduces or removes the appearance of noise and grain. This can improve compression efficiency and create higher quality video at smaller file sizes. +Overly strong Denoise settings may damage picture quality by discarding detail. + +NLMeans is a high quality denoise filter with a cost to speed. Use where quality is more important than speed. +HQDN3D is an adaptive low-pass filter, faster than NLMeans but less effective at preserving fine detail. + +The following Denoise tunes are available: +- None: Uses the default preset settings. +- Film: Refines settings for use with most live action content. +- Grain: Only processes color channels. Useful for preserving the film-like look of luminance grain while reducing or removing color noise. +- High Motion: Reduces color smearing in high motion scenes by avoiding temporal processing for color channels. Useful for sports and action videos. +- Animation: Is useful for cel animation such as anime and cartoons. +- Tape: Is useful for low-detail analog tape sources such as VHS, where Film does not produce a desirable result. +- Sprite: Is useful for 1-/4-/8-/16-bit 2-dimensional games. Sprite is not designed for high definition video. + + +Deblock +------- + +Deblock reduces blocky artifacts caused by low quality video compression. + + +Chroma Smooth +------------- + +Reduces chroma noise, rainbows, and other prominent visual artifacts. Useful for resolving various color-related issues, especially with lower resolution content from analog sources, e.g. not great DVD and VHS sources. The blurring/smoothing algorithm is the same as used by the unsharp filter. + + +Grayscale +--------- + +Grayscale removes the color component of the video. Often referred to as Black & White video. + + +Colorspace +---------- + +Colorspace + tonemap filter. Can change/tonemap the colorspace of the video into one of the following: + +- BT.2020 +- BT.709 +- BT.601 SMPTE-C +- BT.601 EBU + +If this set to "Off" then HandBrake will keep the colorspace of the video.
