My VCD file produced by Pinnacle MP10 have much blockness. I try to use the filter while converting by TmpgEnc as below. But the result is not good. Here is no miracle! Video/motion estimation = highest quality Advanced/noise reduction = enabled (maxium) as below: Spatial at 100 Range at 4 Temporal at 100

Matrix/Soften macroblock noise = enabled by default

The picture is blur but the blockness is still heavy.

Can you help?

Answers Hey Vince your heavy bloackiness might be due to more so at what bitrate your cpaturing at with the pinnacle. I own the mp10 (as well as a dazzle) and to get good results with them you have to cpature at a bitrate of 2900, THEN run this into the tmpg. i have the macor soften checked as well as the dgc floating pijnt (on the same page as the macro sofen) and i set that anywhere from 90-100. the noise filter You should set roughly at range at 2 (or 3 if it is bad quality) and the other two i always keep even (what i make one, i make the other) and set them anywhere from 25-100
