improvements to detc filter: -> use of 8x8 blocks rather than 16x16 to better localize the search for interlacing. this helps detect interlacing in very small motions, e.g. mouths in anime. -> removed some redundant conditions in the logic -> looser condition for detecting lacing and more forgiving of slight mismatches between fields from the two telecine frames to make up for quantization noise in low quality encodes. this code is still mostly experimental but probably better than the old version, so maybe it should be backported to 0.90...?

software scaler filter docs

-ssf cgb=<float> chrominance gaussian blur
	usefull for videos with some chroma (color) noise (TV captures, VHS, ...)

-ssf lgb=<float> -> luminance gaussian blur
	hmm, mostly special effect, could be used as lame noise reducer though

-ssf chs=<int> -> shift chrominance horizontally
-ssf cvs=<int> -> shift chrominance vertically
	usefull if the luma & chroma are not aligned exactly

-ssf cs=<float> -> chrominance sharpen
-ssf ls=<float> -> luminance sharpen
	simple sharpening filter

note: these will only work if the swscaler is used at all (use -vf scale)

example: mplayer foobar.avi -vf scale -ssf lgb=3.0
