I though I would start this thread to share NR setting I use in VDub to clean my captured analog TV before encode.

I cap 720x480 Pic MJPEG 19 I have a moderate level of noise on my analog cable service.

2d cleaner optimized threshold of 5 variable x,y setting based on source. 10 threshold for cartoons. I always use interlaced.
Chroma noise reduction - Turned way down. The jury's still out on the usefullness of this one.
kNRC ( wonderful stuff ) turn down the defaults to 3,6 and watch the noise fade away.
Resize bilenar to 480x480 SVCD or 352x480 for CVD.

PIII 700 I get 4fps.

I find that this reduced CCE's needed bitrate by at least 25% over the original and it looks much better on the TV too. I hope that toher will post there filters so we can all improve out encoding ability.
