Stainless,

Thanks for the script using your Exblend plugin. I did my own comparison between Exblend and FixBlendIVTC. Your plugin runs faster than the FixBlend function and is more stable (I had occasional crashes with the FixBlendIVTC function on the dozen films I've done this morning since I read Didée's post). However, using the Exblend defaults, I end up with slightly noiser frames than I do with FixBlendIVTC.

The difference is subtle (look at the noise around the dog's legs), and if I had more time I could probably make the two approaches close to equivalent for these sources by doing a little more post-processing (as you pointed out in your post).

I've added Exblend to my library of AVS code snippets and will definitely use it in the future. Thanks!

If I really get into this, I suppose I should look into various filters for the "mosquito" noise resulting from the relatively low-bandwidth encoding. I usually deal with better sources, so I don't have to deal with this problem.
