There are other people who have offered code, and gotten far less than a
warm welcome for it.

Oh really?  From an message in mplayer-users on 2004-09-02:

	combination of filters I use (granted, I probably haven't tried all of
	them), I can't get good results.  Original material is 720x480, aspect
	4:3, 29.97 fps.  Here's what I get:

Look familiar?  It should, because it was written by one Dominik 'Rathann'
Mierzejewski.  Why is it Rich didn't flame you for this offense when he

more significant digit.  So quick to attack at the slightest opportunity, but
maybe you're not so perfect yourself.
