DeScratch for 2.6? Or does it matter?

[MrPete]

Hi all,

Stopping by briefly, trying to finish a project for a friend before my house-move *really* kicks into high gear...

I'm trying to clean up some old film-capture, which has quite a lot of vertical scratches in various places. I see the DeScratch filter, but it's designed for 2.5 and I've been using 2.6

I guess my "dumb"questions are:

1) Is there a 2.6 version anywhere?
2) Are different versions always required for 2.5x vs 2.6?
3) Is it a mistake to use 2.6? I see some seem to be still standardized on 2.58?

Thanks!
Pete

PS I was able to finish my smarter 2:1 decimater, at least enough to process one serious project. In spare moments I am cleaning up the code and documenting, at which point I will share it. It is NOT fast, but sure seems to work well. Thanks to all who helped! (If someone is desperate for such a solution before I get it cleaned up, please send me a PM and I'll try to find a few more Round Tuits to get it to you... ;) )

Using plugins compiled for 2.5.* with Avisynth 2.6 (or Avisynth+) is generally fine; the converse probably won't work.

2.5.8 may be considered to be outdated for all intents and purposes, and you should upgrade unless there's some serious regression in 2.6/Avisynth+ preventing you from upgrading.

Thanks. Works fine (well, does what it says :) )
