1) http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters
2) See docs included in plugs.
3) See 2.
4) Depends upon your opinion of which is the better, see 3.

*, dont know, dont use them.

You did nothing wrong at all. There is no ruling body for plugins, authors provide docs, although in some rare cases the authors
are less than fastidious in providing adequate docs and in some of those cases you may have to plough though the D9 thread
on that plug.

Welcome to the Forum.

EDIT: I can recommend compressed CHM help file version of the docs supplied with Avisynth, can be found in my sig @
MediaFire, in DATA folder. Can put on Hotkey if required and easy to search.

@StainlessS many many thanks :)

4. which plugin is better for remove-grain and sharpener and how to use them.

I'm somewhat fond of QTGMC (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156028) in progressive mode for noise removal as it's kind to picture detail. It's a de-interlacer, but in progressive mode it does a good job denoising. Something like:

QTGMC(InputType=1, preset="medium", EzDenoise=1.5)

Or there's SMDegrain (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/369142-Simple-MDegrain-Mod-v3-1-2d-A-Quality-Denoising-Solution).

I tend not to sharpen much because it makes the video look sharpened. ;)
Sharpening noise or encoding artefacts tends to make them more obvious too.
If I do sharpen though, it'd be with LSFMod (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/LSFmod). It's slow, but reasonably subtle, although I still tend to dial it back a bit anyway.

*where can i find latest encode setting/profiles to encode like sharktooth provided early.

If you're referring to the old MeGUI presets, there aren't any. MeGUI's x264 encoder configuration covers that now. There's a drop down box for selecting a target playback device and you can adjust x264's speed presets and tuning. The old sharktooth presets are out of date and some would have settings that don't apply to the current x264 encoder.

Via the QTGMC link above you can download the QTGMC script and required plugins. Rather than type it all again.....
I explained to someone in this thread (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/377869-MeGUI-my-first-use-of-it-and-some-questions?p=2439714&viewfull=1#post2439714) how to install SRestore and then QTGMC (the principle is the same), but because the QTGMC plugins package in my previous link is out of date, once he'd installed them and had QTGMC working I put together a list of the plugins that could be updated (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/377869-MeGUI-my-first-use-of-it-and-some-questions?p=2439815&viewfull=1#post2439815) and where to find them. There's also an updated version of the QTGMC script attached to the post. The info/instructions there might help you out with understanding how to install plugins, even if you don't want to use QTGMC specifically.
