It has a lot of noise but that's something we need to keep, and it's mostly 'dark'.

I have done several tests but I always end up with visible artifacts on the very black sections of the image and banding. The bitrate I used is 27avg-36max 2 pass accelerated the 1st.

Unfortunately I do not know the more advanced settings of TC so if anyone has any experience with that kind of films and how to properly encode them I would really really appreciate it if can share a few tips.

Thank you,
Could you Dropbox a few seconds of the original and a few seconds of the resulting H.264 encoding?
