Ok - this I have done. On the particular video being used (capture from a VHS tape) using a 2nd y4mspatialfilter after y4mdenoise saved about 3% on the average bitrate. The numbers (Average/Peak, I framesize in bytes, P framesize in bytes, no B frames were generated). Raw (no filters): 5283/9014 52978 19797 y4mdenoise only: 4030/9067 48424 14523 y4mspatialfilter+ y4mdenoise: 3344/9136 45951 11633 y4mspatialfilter+ y4mdenoise+ y4mspat: 3224/9128 45510 11129 The pipeline ends up looking rather large (some might say "ugly" ;)) but a dual G5 system didn't seem to mind ;) smil2yuv -i 2 -a $N.wav -i 2 $N.smil | \ y4mshift -n 0 -b 8,0,704,474 | \ y4mspatialfilter -L 5,0.75,4,0.75 -C 3,0.5,3,0.5 | \ y4mdenoise -t 4 | \ y4mspatialfilter -L 5,0.75,4,0.75 -C 3,0.5,3,0.5 | \ y4mscaler -v 0 -O size=704x480 -O sar=src -O chromass=420_MPEG2 | \ bfr -b 20m -T 70 | \ mpeg2enc -b 8000 -K kvcd -q 4 -2 1 -D 10 -M 2 -E -10 -c -f 8 -o $N.m2v (the y4mshift is used to black out the VCR junk at the bottom of the screen - yes, y4mscaler could have done the same thing but the script was a cut&paste job from odds&ends laying about). I'm in the process now of encoding a couple really poor tapes (EP mode VHS) and so far y4mdenoise assisted by y4mspatialfilter is doing a splendid looking job.
