Any body had expeirence with this new filter: simply resize?

[baker]

I know it aint that new but the dvd2svcd author(whats his name anyhow) put it in dvd2svcd as an option and I find it to be equal in quailty to bicubic resize. However while watching a ripped film today I noticed something. I am not sure if it is in bicubic resizes also (i gtg check that) but it looks like.... like... like I have rgb switched off on my dvd player and there is lines around every edge. to c what I am talking about put a dvd film in your dvd player and then switch to and fro from rgb. you should notice a fuzzyness around everyone when it is not in rgb mode.

This is what I have noticed in simply resize. I cannot check a bicubic svcd at the moment as my sitting room is busy.

SimpleResize is faster than Bilinear or Bicubic, but it produces too sharp pictures, I get annoying jaggies in the video and that makes the compression harder, about 27% more bitrate is needed!!!

Compressing one minute of (704x480 to) 384x288 23,976fps video using DivX 4.12 1-pass quality based slowest 100%-quality gave me:

Bilinear: 21,6 MB
Bicubic: 22,1 MB
Simple: 27,5 MB (!!!)

This is a very important comment, The jaghies are very annoying. even thoguh it will take about an extra 3 hrs to encode it looks like I will have to go back to Bicucbic resize until a fix is brought out for the jaggies(a built in smnoother)
