MeGUI filter renewal

@All, I don't like that wiki page: for several reasons: (1) Such comparisons are always subjective, (2) it depends very much on the type of source (life video, anime, analog caps, etc ...) you are denoising and (3) references (of the comparisons themselves) are completely lacking. At most (in my view) you can list some/all denoising methodes and compare them in 'an objective as much' possible way with various sources. But until then we should probably remove that page. Thoughts?

I had been using MCTD for a long while with MeGUI and an AVS profile and dreamt of the day it would be incorporated into MeGUI. I have since stopped this practice because I've been finding that it blurs the image too much. This is no doubt due to my poor understanding of how to use it. It does offer great flexibility though and if it could be set up properly I think it would work quite well.

I wish there was an improved version of tfm/tdeint. MT QTGMC ( Preset="Slower", noisepreset="slower", noiseprocess=1, grainrestore=0.0, noiserestore=0.0 ) + LSF is way too slow on my quadcore, too much time demanding for me. 12 hours for an awful 720x480 dvd source, what the hell.

Ok, it's possible to trace what exactly is happening, but not all 14 plugins are being used! Here is what you get with denoise and setting "very low" fft3d(sigma=1), MVDegrain, MVTools(idx=40) From So it looks like 3 filters are being used. I can't say for sure without going through the whole script myself. In fact in all the settings except high, those are the only 3 filters (high uses ttempsmooth). It's simple to test, call the denoising only and see what error messages you get, keep adding plugins until it works.
