Hiya, I think you and Romildo are suffering from similar problems. (And I just got Romildo's post, too --- the re-ordering and delays on the Sourceforge lists are really crazy these days.) I tried to use some automatic guesses from y4mscaler, but they did not do what's IMHO right.

The sinc* kernels are very bad at removing noise. IMHO, the cubic* kernels are better for this job... That's what yuvdenoise is for :) Well, sort of. It removes noise temporally. But it would be nice to have a spatial lowpass filter in the toolbox also to reduce noise that way.
