Blocking / grain around edges

Hi everyone. I just want to know what those 'blocking' in the shot is actually called, and how to get rid of it. Thanks :thanks: Actual size: 2x upsized using Spline36Resize: Sample:

Possibly it is Mosquito-Noise

Increase the bitrate during encoding, to discard less data (that has to be "guesstimate" later on).

Yep, I was about to encode it using x264 encoder. After testing with various anti-aliasing filters, I could say it didn't help much :( *edit: Another problem coming up. Anyone mind telling me what it is? Thanks Sample:

thumbails - to small to see anything except Fergie ;)

Assuming these are the result of your encoding (as opposed to be the source for your encoding), increase the bitrate.

Seems like a typical case of poooor mpeg-2 compression. FFT3dFilter probably can make it smooooth (blurry). MDegrain with FFT3d-prefilter (e.g. TemporalDegrain() or MCTemporalDenoise()) would be worth trying. But as you know, without sample(s) it's hard to predict which filter will or will not "bite".

You are suggesting to deinterlace sources that are telecined (and therefore should be IVTC'ed instead deinterlaced) ?
