Topic: Best settings (re: quality) for offline conversion?

I'm manually using SVPFlow with FFmpeg to convert my videos (offline) but I'm wondering what the best settings are.  I've tried to inspect SVPManager's AVS script and InterFrame and here is what I have:


SVSuper_string =   "{scale:{up:0},gpu:0,rc:false}"
SVAnalyse_string = "{block:{w:8,overlap:2},main:{search:{distance:0,coarse:{distance:-10,bad:{sad:2000}}}},refine:[{thsad:250}]}"
smooth_string =    "{rate:{num:2,den:1},algo:23,mask:{area:150,area_sharp:1.2},scene:{mode:0}}"

Should I change anything?  I'm looking for max smoothness, I think.  (I want the motion to look "real" and home-video recorded if that makes sense)

refine:[{thsad:1000}] ?

I looked from here

Just beware that "algo:23" (aka 'complicated') will give squiggly and wavy artifacts around any thin lines that are moving across the screen.

Thanks!  Should I use 21 then?  The FAQ says that the default settings are already set for the best quality?

Re: Best settings (re: quality) for offline conversion?

It really just depends on the content. Why not try the video with SVP in real-time and see if there's any noticeable artifacts?  If CPU utilization is the issue then just run SVP with lower settings, like 1m + complicated + 16px + two pixel + downscale to 720p.
