Question for those cleverer than I am with the AV1 codec

When encoding AV1 videos without denoising, do you still need to specify a grain synthesis level?

I tested a grainy 1080P file (from bluray) at 12, 20 and 30 & they look no different with only file sizes changing

film-grain-denoise=0:film-grain=x

SVT AV1, CRF 15, Preset 6, FastFlix was used

Progress on the #homecinema: Everything is there:
- Projector (150€)
- Screen (30€)
- 5.1 Sound (Speakers 50€, Receiver 60€)

What's missing: Some speaker wire to make the cable management as invisivle as possible.

Next challenge: Getting #Fedora #Linux to output surround over HDMI...

I got impatient and bought #gladiator2 on appleTV instead of waiting for the disc. It's good enough that i don't think that I will need the disc. Picture quality is excellent and the atmos sound is very atmospheric (is that a word?)., The bass is a little light but Shane Lee noticed the same in his review of the Kaleidescape version so it is probably a deliberate choice that it is to sound like that on #homecinema

BTW: it is one of those appletv movies that sound better when played on Nvidia Shield or any other device with direct audio passthrough. Edit: The difference is not so great though

Attention, #JohnWoo and #GoldenPrincess fans. It’s time to stop buying the bootlegs out of desperation — there is finally a deal in place and as far as I‘ve heard, even bonus material is being produced right now. Exiting news for #homecinema / #physicalmedia

Die kleine Amazon Fire TV #Soundbar ist für eine richtige #Heimkino-Atmosphäre nicht geeignet, dafür bietet sie nicht genügend Power. Das dachte sich wohl auch #Amazon selbst und hat kürzlich mit der Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus ein deutlich größeres und leistungsfähigeres Gerät veröffentlicht. Die Neuerscheinung ist aktuell mit Rabatt für 219,99 Euro bei Amazon erhältlich. Wir haben sie bereits getestet:
