This is my first encode, for which I used Handbrake.
I will do very few of those and I don't take requests.

There are a few issues regarding quality: banding in blacks areas and some lines lost because of the denoising (mainly rain drops, some lines in the suits of the protagonists and occasionally cheekbones lines.

I think I should have upped the aq-strength to get less banding, and I should not have checked the "anime" tune of the denoising (I picked ultralight, NLMeans, animation tune).

Well, the result in not so bad, I don't find it worth it to redo it (it took my old junk around 40h to encode this, at very slow preset).

PS: if anyone have one of the 700mb encodes from kat, I am interested to know how good this one is in comparison.
