OK I've done some comparison tests as a prefilter, running MClean in 16-bit and FRC in 8-bit. These tests take longer because I need to encode the prefilter output as an AVI file and then use that interim file. It gives the quality comparison though.

What did you change in this version? Renoise seems softer. Any settings you recommend for better results as a prefilter?

Here I didn't test H264 encoding which may show additional benefits.

RemoveGrain(21) / previous MClean(rn=10) / new MClean(rn=10) / new MClean(rn=12)



The prefilter AVI interm file is 392MB for previous MClean and 400MB for this version, which indicates there are more details.

Performance-wise, MClean in 16-bit encodes into AVI at 6fps on 1080p content. It's a bit slow for a prefilter unless it gives very clear benefits.

Burdafel, you don't want to convert back to 8-bit at the end if the source isn't 8-bit.
