Does TTempSmooth have some effect on decisions of TDecimate further up in the filter chain?
I'm having a script that goes like (plugin loading part omitted):

mpeg2source("D:\Big\Project_Ghibli\Totoro.d2v")
TFM(PP=0,display=false,input="Totoro_TFM.txt")
TDecimate(input="Totoro_TDecimate.txt",display=true)

and another one

mpeg2source("D:\Big\Project_Ghibli\Totoro.d2v")
TFM(PP=0,display=false,input="Totoro_TFM.txt")
TDecimate(input="Totoro_TDecimate.txt",display=true)
TTempSmooth(maxr=7)

The TTempSmooth(maxr=7) is the only difference in the script.
Now TDecimate's output shows that even though it's running on the precalculated input files, it makes different decisions on one and the same frame in the first and in the second script. In one case, for example, it decided to use frame 336, in the other it to blend 334-336 (50.00,50.00). Now i thought that filters further down in the chain wouldn't effect the ones higher up, but just eat what they are fed with. And in this case, I was all the more surprised since i was using an input file with TDecimate. (Not using one doesn't make a difference in this case, though.)
What is going on here?
