        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.

        AH, ok.  That makes a lot more sense.

        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.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
