Smart Smoother HiQ Speed

Here are some more notes about processing speed with the Smart Smoother High Quality filter in VirtualDub (previous post). These are for 720x480 30fps captures on an AthlonXP 2600+ system using PC2700 DDR memory. Amount is always 254 and all were done as "weighted with difference", other values are r=radius, t=threshold, m=maintain. The last number is the amount of minutes required to encode a single minute of source material.

r9 t30 m15 12.0x
r9 t15 m10 11.0x
r9 t10 m5 9.5x

r7 t60 m30 7.5x
r7 t30 m15 7.0x
r7 t15 m10 6.5x
r7 t10 m5 6.0x

r5 t40 m20 3.5x
r5 t30 m15 3.5x
r5 t20 m10 3.5x

Notes:

- r7 t60 m30 looked blurry, losing fine detail in areas such as a shot of the snowfield
