Hi I understand that these filters tools etc use a lot of CPU usage, which I think is the main reason for my HTPC running movies in slow motion.

The thing is thou I have a amd x2 4400+ and I thought with this time of CPU I would be able to run limitedharpen no problems.

my settings I am using are

FFDSHOW
upscale DVD`s x2
lancoz = 4
luma sharpen = 1.5

denoise3d = 0.50 0.50 5.00

Should my CPU be able to do this no problems ?? little unsure

thanks

And what's your per-cpu usage without LS? (You are using LSF right?) As long as it's one of the recent ffdshows, within the last two months or so, multithreading should split the load between the cores.

But then you also need the MT version of avisynth, you should put the dll in the player's folder so it loads with it. In your avisynth script section use something like:
MT("
LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.1)
",3)
I found 3 threads to work better than 2 on dual-core, just because the other ffdshow stuff tends to clump up on one core.

Awesome! My load (very uneven previously) went down from 64% to 51% using that ",3" parameter and its now much better balanced.
Thanks a lot
