Problem with dark thin lines in x264 at low bitrates



Is it possible to allocate more bitrate to that kind of lines (in clothes/hairs), detracting it from the backgrounds?

x264 settings:
Code:
--chroma-qp-offset -4 --b-adapt 2 --ref 10 --qcomp 0.70 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --me umh --crf 27 --tune Animation --preset veryslow --bframes 8 --deblock 1:2 --fade-compensate 0.35 --aq-mode 3 --subme 10 --trellis 2 --merange 24 --chroma-qp-offset -4 --threads 2 --keyint 250 --min-keyint 12 --scenecut 45 --aq-strength 0.75

Line darkening? Don't overdo it.

it's mpeg4 compression artifacts add "removegrain (11)" in your avs script and add "--deblock 2:2" in your x264 encoding settings

also adaptive quantizer strength is probably the option ment to assign more bit rate to the edges and away from the flat areas.
value < 1: -> less bitrate around edges, more bitrate for flat areas
value > 1: -> more bit rate around edges, less for flat areas

Actually it's the reverse; higher AQ strength means less bitrate for edges (though in anime, it usually makes less difference, as nearly all the bitrate goes to the edges either way).

Then I'm going to use the default --tune animation aq-str and increase the deblock, any other suggestion for newbies like me? I forgot to metion that I'm using tMod, does it make any difference? this file has some dark scenes, I heard that aq mode 3 helps to improve this kind of scenes. About the line darkening filters, could Toon-v1.1 be the right one?
