TemporalSmoother is a filter of MPEG2DEC.DLL.

Look at Dividees site

I can't explain it to you but I have very good results with temporalsmoother(5). Using this value made my encodes very compressible. I don't know by how much though but I know it's 15+mb.

I've tried using the value 10 but it video becomes very jerky.

can't explain it and have very good results too!
i ever use temporalsmoother with unfilter(fast and clean).
the values confuse me,i use 2,1 by default,
some people use 2,2
but don't know when i have to use 5 or 10 or other one.
if i understand how it works,i just get better results...
that's the reason of my post,ok?
thanks!;)

well , i wait a "few days" for a better answer....
i'm asking from another form...

when i use temporalsmoother,comparing with
convolution3d,fluxsmoother and others...
i see more green nuances(matiz)in the movie,
it's not my impression,it really do.
i encode the same chapter for test using various scripts
and want to use temporal but don't know what's better:
2,1 or 2,2 or 5 or ????

:confused: :confused: :confused:
any final help please?
many people read but a few can answer this!:(
thanks in advance!;)

The doc on Dividee's web page is clear enought, I think.

The radius parameter : how many previous frame will I use. The more I use the cleaner the video will became (and I will also get some ghosting). The lower -> the faster.

So I'll use TemporalSmoother (2, 1) when I need only very soft smoothing (and fast : radius = 1).

And TemporalSmoother (5) (= TemporalSmoother (5, 3)) -> if I need stronger smoothing.

Hope this helps. ;)

and the default radius is "3" as i can remember,so putting only one
number as a parameter means it "looks" 3 frames back with a strength of the entered number....
[in simpler terms what vlad59 said in syntax]

here,i found documantation too:
(from
http://users.win.be/dividee/avisynth.html
)

quote:
"All frames no more than radius away are examined. Minimum radius is 1, maximum is 7. Larger values are of course slower. Default is 3, which is the value used in VirtualDub. The default value for strength is 2."

cheers
