 The benefit of using SMDegrain over directly calling MDegrain is:
-* '''High bitdepth denoising''': This is the first wrapper function to support 32bit (16bit pipeline) MDegrain denoising.
+* '''High bitdepth with lsb denoising''': This is the first wrapper function to support 32bit (16bit pipeline) MDegrain denoising.
 * '''Higher temporal radius''' (tr>3): The [[MVTools]] mod (and hence this script) also allows for hack-free higher temporal radius.
 * '''Contrasharpening''': The pretty much standarized sharpening method created by Didée is blended into the function, so you can easily use it in 16bit pipelines. An strength biased method is also possible. A ''CClip'' parameter is also supplied so you can choose another source to sharpen from, other than the default '''SMDegrain()''' input.
-* '''YUY2 support''': It automatically and fully supports YUY2.
+* '''YUY2 support''': It automatically and fully supports YUY2. (but that not important now after avs 2.6 and avs+)
 * '''Interlaced support''': It supports interlaced sources with most parameters as well.
 * '''Extended Subpixel Accuracy''': [[nnedi3]] is allowed as a subpixel filter, not necessary in most cases, but if you are quality mad try to set it on.

 Parameters are arranged in 3 blocks.
 *'''Basic''': For people who just need the most basic parameters because either they don't have the time, knowledge or interest into looking for complex settings. Or they are content with defaults (pretty much mvtools defaults)
-*'''High Bit Depth''': There's not much to think about this. This just enables (default is disabled), high bit depth denoising. That is, more quality, but also needs more processing power hence slower.

-Temporal denoising is a widespread procedure for noise cleaning in most type of video sources. The only limitation for '''SMDegrain()''' being when there are (very) high levels of grain, in which case you would need to rely on more "creative" and source centric solutions (see [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1544619#post1544619 this] and ''prefilter'' notes), but those are the rare cases.

 :You will likely want to use spatial denoisers like median filters (removegrain=17, medianblur, etc). For very grainy or fizz grain noise you can try prefiltering in temporal or if this is not enough, try adding a new SMDegrain() line again but without globals. Use ''lsb_in'', ''lsb_out'' according so results are smooth. You can even use SMDegrain() as a prefilter for SMDegrain() in very temporal unstable sources.
-:Another trick for fizz grain is to serve a prefiltered clip where bright values are more denoised than dark values, you can do this through luma masks with masktools2 code. Search in [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162813 Doom9] for reference.

 :Notes: To sum it up; generally in denoising, temporal filters are always preferred due to its natural look (versus spatial filters). But more often than not for good results prefiltering plays a key role on the output quality, and setting it up nicely can be looked as an art by itself.
-:If there's a reached point where no prefiltering, no ''thSAD'' tweaking, etc, makes able to denoise a certain motion part/area/scene, then this is due to the motion vectors preventing them from being "denoised" (also read "artifacted"), in which case you will need to rely on alternative solutions (motion compensation, filters like MCTemporalDenoise(), TemporalDegrain(), [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1544619#post1544619 Multilevel MDegrain], etc) or just use plain spatial filters with motion masks. Creating these discerning masks for static and motion scenes and combining them is a research task on the end user side.
