I think I can certainly say that a V2 release is going to follow, if only to give me peace of mind that I have achieved the cleanest, best quality transfer possible on my set-up.

Current changes planned for V2:
- Switch to a quad-shielded 24k gold plated Belkin Pure AV 1.8m S-video cable for best transfer quality from the D925 to the ADVC-55.
- Implement 5 capture frame averaging, to eliminate any random analogue noise in my set-up. (If there is any its not allot, but every little helps right?)
- After initial capture (which is stuck as MiniDV) switch from using regular ProRes 422 to ProRes 422 HQ.
- Do away with the Colour Correction filter. (I think this is causing blocking :S)

As with the V1, V2 will use DarthEditous' DD 5.1 AC3 captures, and will be released in DVD9 format.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to which order filters should be applied? Currently the order I am using is:

1. Chroma Smoother
2. Colour Corrector
3. Noise Reduction

Are there any rules of thumb as to which order filters should be applied?

Many Thanks
