Oh, ok, I didn't understand it this way. Alright, it could be interesting to test this. I might release a test build which uses your pre-processing.

Render queue
s? There is only one render queue. Maybe post a screenshot of the debug OSD, then we might be able to say more.

One more (important) thing,
Use this (MPC LumaSharpen) shader Its the best sharpenning shader available (IMO), Yes way better (and smarter) than Sharpen Complex 2.
It will not touch the finest detail (add contrast) but will sharpen the not sharp enough detail/textures.

James, posting suggestions and recommendations is fine, but please make sure you mark these as your personal subjective opinion. You do sound a bit as if you your recommendations would be what everybody agreed on being the best settings. Which is definitely not the case here.
IMHO, using a deband setting of "low" can still make sense for Blu-Ray, but that's only my personal opinion and I know that some people will disagree. Sharpening is also very controversial. Some people hate it. Some people love it.

Yes, it can happen.

FYI, from what I've seen, most people prefer Jinc. A minority of people prefer Lanczos. You may want to make up your own mind which you prefer.

I don't understand what you mean. madVR does support custom pixel shaders, if that is your question.
