H.265 - Codec: Deblocking Settings

The deblocking filter reduces blocking artifacts through adjustable strength and threshold. Selective SAO and the Sample Adaptive Offset (SAO) options allow for additional corrections to edges and surfaces. Additional options control how SAO interacts with the deblocking filter or whether SAO's effect is limited.
