Maybe that helps with bitrate and quality.
The quality is nice at crf 17 slow.
I tried a bigger test encode with crf 18 medium but looks like I'll get close to a 10mbit bitrate then.
But lowering the bitrate further will kill the grain on the other hand.
*sigh*

At least I can confirm that the artifacts indeed seem to be caused by tune grain. As soon as I enable it artifacts start showing up at bitrates <10mbit.


This movie is really weird. Looking at it my gut feeling is that it should be encodable with 5,000kbit/s.
But it demands far more... more than some 60's movie with grain everywhere.
