I only sharpened the view to make differences more obvious, NOT the input to the encoder. Here are some sharpened views of some quick test encodes I just did. ![]() The fact that HCenc is free is very nice, though :) Does it pass verification for replication? However, CCE SP2 is still slightly better from the test I did. I just tried HCenc out, and I agree that the quality is very good.
