Well, almost any very low-quality video with huge blocking/ringing/etc
artifacts shows difference. I tested it with several low-quality
tape->divx re-encodings in 320x240 resolution. Taking some kind of anime
and scaling it to 320x240 while setting vqscale, say, to 15 also shows
this on fast motion, although not that much. pp with default settings
leaves a lot of artifacts, and ffdshow postprocessing gives better
results then pp.  Results of pp with tuned settings are somewhere
between them, and spp filter smoothes out all artifacts and generates
very blurry image.

MN>ffdhow? and also tell us exactly which options to set in ffdshow

in postprocessing section: slider to the maximum level, all kind of
deblocking algorithms enabled (mplayer, Nic's, Nic's first).
