BiCublin I've noticed, has a nice side effect of reducing the amount of shimmering/stairstepping found during slight motion when downsizing tv caps (using 720x480 -> 352x480) after applying TomsMoComp. The destination is either DivX or DVD.

Example avs

AVISource("capture.avi")
TomsMoComp(1,5,0)
ConvertToYV12()
BiCublinResize(352,480)
Convolution3D(preset="movieHQ")
UnDot()

I've found this technique quite useful for preserving quite a bit of detail. However, when using AVISynth resizers, I've noticed that this effect is exaggerated and is somewhat distracting.

@sh0dan: If you're familiar with this effect, would you proprose using a combination of Lanczos & mSmooth in place of Bicublin in this case?

Of course, I wish I were at home right now so I could try this...
