I 'm new at this TT_TT

Except it's far from comparable unless you're stuck with Windows Movie Maker, since DV AVI is lossy and the best codec for amv editing is UTVideo, which is not part of ffmpeg, at least not yet, and certainly isn't part of SUPER since it uses an outdated version of ffmpeg.
You also can't properly IVTC/deinterlace the source seeing that, while ffmpeg is good for encoding, it is far from the levels of avisynth as far as filtering is concerned. You will not get a good IVTC without TIVTC, and won't get a perfect one without YATTA. Now, if good is what you strive for, follow the AVTECH and read the documentation of the basic filters. If you really like SUPER, then I guess go for the "somewhat fine if you're really lucky with the source you have but otherwise mostly below average."

If you are calling mencoder comparable quality, you're either blind or an idiot. Pick one and let me know.

You saw the screenshot in the other thread.

[Mister Hatt]

I did. Compression artifacts k go. That is comparable but only in the sense that one is crap while one is not. I'm starting to get tired of you defending incorrect points just to save face. It's making you look like an ignorant zealot.

Compression artifacts k go

That's a convincing analysis there. I could just as easily accuse you of pretending like you see a difference to save face.

Kionon lacks encoder eyes and he listed some problems with it for you. Why don't you read what he said.

[Cyrix]

He was imagining problems. The part of the girl he was complaining about was from the original DVD.

[Kionon]

I'm not imagining anything. It doesn't matter if the problems are in the original source (almost all are), you still have to fix them. You need to apply filtering to mitigate the damage. For that you need Avisynth. Period.

Naw I'm pretty sure you just use unsharp mask . Maybe I got lucky with Elfen Lied being progressive but if that's so it still is going to be giving good enough quality for beginners. Again, learn on the Camry before you get a BMW. I'm having many problems with my crappy Bebop bootleg, I might try avi synth for that

If I could triple facepalm, I would.

Using USM Is still processing. Sure, you can try using processing methods inside of your editing suite, but they suck.

There is no "good enough quality for beginners." There is "do the best you can, take criticism when it is offered, and do better next time" for all editors. Trying to set some sort of minimum "easy setting" will simply create beginning editors that "default" to your "easy setting" and won't improve by experimenting with more complicated, but better, processes.

I actually drove a 3-series before ever driving any type of Toyota at all.

Not that you'd be doing very well on this score already, but admitting you use bootlegs, just kills even more credibility. That's not just frowned on here, that's actually straight up against the Editor's Code.
