Most all the time I watch the recorded stuff on my 42 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). > Also, I did try using the denoiser a few months back.

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 ;) > I hesitate to call *anything* perfect, but for my money, the Canopus, > dvgrab, kino and mjpegtools is it for me. 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'.
