Dust Version 5 by Steady 01/23/2003 New parameters added. All are optional. output="YUY2/RGB/RGB32/RGB24" The default is to output the same format as the input. RGB is the same as RGB32. Dust works internally on YUV 4:4:4 planar (One Y,U, and V for each pixel). Future versions may have the option of working in RGB space. ------------------------------------- limit=5 Sets the strength of the temporal filtering. (How much it can change the original pixel).Note that high settings (> ~8) will be 'overridden' by other internal settings. The default settings are: FaeryDust 2 PixieDust 5 GoldDust 8 SpaceDust Does not apply ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FaeryDust uses temporal filtering only. It should preserve the maximum detail. (Not really true yet with strong settings but will be :) Recommended limit settings 1-5 SpaceDust is just the spatial filter from PixieDust. It is for those who want the April version speed from Dust now :) It can improve the visual quality quite a bit. However unlike PixieDust, It can only reduce noise - not remove it. So the compression gains (and compressed quality) will be less. PixieDust is essentially FaeryDust + SpaceDust (with some twists). It is probably the best to use for medium noise and those who shoot for 1-CD encodes. Recommended limit settings 3-8. GoldDust uses heavier filtering. Not really very developed yet.
