Interesting. I guess I could take ~10 hours and redo the one movie that I did yesterday to see if I can spot the difference. > And what I meant to say was, not using -I for interlaced inputs > doesn't save (m)any bits versus using -I.

There are lots of different median-filtering schemes out It does soften it of course but I guess "a lot" is subjective. Seemed strange though that the documentation mentions 'sharpening' as a side effect. If I use the medianfilter then I leave out the -N to mpeg2enc and the resulting DVDs usually end up around 4500 to 5000 kbits/sec (right where I want it). The effect of the medianfilter is quite pleasing, seems that many of the captures I do look a bit 'sharp/harsh' and filtering improves the appearance (that's subjective of course). As you mention it works great for 'impulse' noise - such as movies that have spots/speckles. Sounds like an interesting area of research but alas it's not my area of expertise either.
