Oh my GOD. The 60 FPS 4K memescaling shouldn't drive me as insane as it does, but jesus christ, the amount of times I have wanted to show someone some opening, gone on YouTube, and literally everything is some tweened upscale. I usually give up and end up having to go and StackOverflow the ffmpeg filters I'll never remember for burning in subs just to clip it myself -- `ffmpeg -i episode.mkv -vf "subtitles='episode.mkv':si=0" -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -c:a aac_at -b:a 320k -ss start_duration -t opening_duration output.mp4` [1]. I think it bothers me even more given anime is rarely even natively fully 1080P 29.97/30 FPS, let alone 4K 60. I try my best to live and let live, but it's my biggest pet peeve. It drives me nuts that basically all TV manufacturers do this too now by default -- everything I've purchased over the past ~10-12 years or so comes preset with """"smooth""" motion and a billion other video "correction" modes enabled, despite it just artifacting or making everything look straight up worse [2]. I'm genuinely really curious, does anyone here on HN use and enjoy those modes? Maybe there is something I'm missing. Or maybe I'm just hyper-sensitive to that kind of thing. It made me laugh when I moved back to the US after school in Russia; family had gotten a new TV and within like seconds of being home and trying to watch a movie together, I'm immediately sitting there fiddling with the sittings, meanwhile no one else apparently even noticed the frame interpolation was on in the first place. Anyway, sorry for the rant ;-) ‎ [1]: OK, this time it was from memory, so it might not quite be right. But maybe I've finally memorized the correct incantation?
