Can someone give me a dumbed-down summary of the different MT modes? I've read this:

http://avisynth.nl/index.php/AviSynt...orrect_MT_mode

But it's not very clear to me. It doesn't really state how the modes work, and especially the bit for MT_NICE_FILTER isn't clear at all on when it should be used, instead focusing on when it shouldn't.

I'm guessing that MT_NICE_FILTER requests multiple frames in multiple threads, but only one instance of the filter, and that MT_MULTI_INSTANCE makes multiple instances, so it's a bit like calling the same plugin multiple times on trimmed/selecteveryed subclips and then joining or interleaving them? Or does it crop frames up into smaller frames then stack them back together, or something? (probably not) And that MT_SERIALIZED is the same as plain old single-threaded AviSynth?
