Unsharp mask and animation!!

[bsr]

Playing with the settings in FFDSHOW and found that Unsharp mask makes animation look SOO much better, as well as regular video...

Without sharpen:

With Unsharp mask of 40:

Unsharp mask of 60:

Just thought I would share my results.

that's right it sounds better, what is the cpu overhead?

Probably not very much considering I used these settings with post processing on a 960 x 528 res source with sharpen on and it had no problems even on a 2600xp..

If it were a slower cpu turn cpu priority on the player to high would most likely smooth out any skips.. But lower stability at same time.
