I don't know. But even after Gimps "equalize" on the denoise3d PNGs I 
could hardly see any relevant difference.

I know, but it's fast and because of it's description in "mplayer 
-pphelp", some people will use it.

Woult it help, if the tn filter would fade out the denoising near the 
edges of the blocks?

I found, that md produces jagged edges on interlaced parts. Does md use no 
filter after deinterlacing?

I think, this effect is only visible, if you know, what you are looking 
for.

Where can I find more information about how pp=md and pp=fd work?
