sorry, quite OT (wasn't sure how many people have OT subscribed)
but, i remembered how i loved to play (on the "old" windows days :) with my ATIplayer that came with ATIs all-in-wonder card. you could select an area where to zoom with the mouse... even up to ~1x1pixel... and i noticed when you zoom an area like 200x10 and then that area stretched to fullscreen... very smooth shade lines...
and now i can do that (AND MORE) with pdp, i'm overwhelmed...
so, something like [zoomy 40] looks very smooth with [pdp_motion_blur] on a video stream...
this is definetly nothing new, but just incase you didn't know...
cheers -andre ps. the intro in the game "getaway" [ps2] uses the same trick... (i assume)
