        25Mb/s DV data takes a rather enormous amount of cpu power to play
        back - pretty much takes up a while ~2GHz P4 (friend of mine has a
        1.7GHz and it can't quite keep up).

        It's not my experience.   I think much depends on the source
        of the data but I know that capturing from anything other than a
        digital source (miniDV or Digital8 camcorder) requires the use, less 
        aggressively perhaps, of yuvdenoise.    For DV sources the use of -N
        to mpeg2enc is usually sufficient, if not then yuvdenoise -l 1 perhaps.

        Actually what I am finding out over the past couple days is that
        the medianfilter (yuvmedianfilter) on some material (captured laserdisc)
        does wonders.   I am fairly sure that the way to make the medianfilter 
        milder or less aggressive is to raise the threshold from the default 
        of 2 to something like 6.    

        It'd be nice to have a variable/selectable "blur" capability so that
        only sections that need the softening get it and not the entire movie.
        Probably a SMOP (Simple Matter of Programming) once a supplier of
        copious free time is found ;)

        Agreed!

        Now if I could only get rid of the occasional "Reset" that the
        IEEE1394 subsystem spits out once in a while.   Doesn't happen often
        but when it does the capture never recovers 'sync'.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
