[MPlayer-users] Denoise and scaling

[Nico]

Hi,

sometimes I have to convert some badly captured movie to VCD,  but since 
the sources are very noisy I have to apply  a denoise filter.

I usually use hqdn3d that makes a very good work, but I wonder if it's 
better applied to the source or to the resized image.

Second question:

what sws is the best for resizing to a lower resolution (such as 640x480 
to 352x288) ?
-sws 2 seems to blur too much the image, and -1 doesn't look much better.

Thanks,
                Nico
