I have tried out so many filters and as a result what was in my memory didn't match with the actual original. I included my own for comparison. Yours is much cleaner no doubt. I think mine is a tiny bit sharper (but also darker and more grainy).

Ugh. I was hoping you wouldn't point out that scene. For the last clip I posted I was doing the motion compensation/sharpening after my levels command and I noticed that some softening of the picture was happening in the darker scenes. Moving the levels command to the end helps this a lot, but I still think I can do a bit better. I have an idea that will mitigate the blurring effects of the eedi2 command, then when the temporal sharpener comes in, there will be more detail to work with. Yours is really nice and sharp! Is that even after the eedi2? What are you using to sharpen? Do you think the lighter scenes in mine are too soft also? (like Leia standing in front of the stormtroopers?)
