Useful Filters To Enhance Quality ?

Hello Doom9

I just use Sharpen(0.5) for enhancing quality
There's gotta be some more filters which can help me in enhancing quality
Can anyone tell their names and script ?

Thank you..........

Yeah, "quality" is kind of subjective. But if you want sharpening-plus, here's something worth trying: (requires Masktools)
Code:

### enhance contrast - like unsharp

## http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1555234#post1555234
##
## @ z    - default 6     (3 = subtle; 16 = massive)  
## @ pow  - default 1.6   (1.0 = oversharp; 4.0 = mild)  
## @ str  - default 0.7   (3 = strong; 18 = massive) 
## @ rad  - default 9     (0.6 = sharpen; 18 = soft) 
## @ ldmp - default 0.001 (block overlap? 0.01 = a little smoother?)
##
## NonlinUSM(pow=4)                          ## enhance: for low bitrate sources
## NonlinUSM(z=3, pow=4.0, str=1, rad=6)     ## enhance less 
##
## NonlinUSM(z=6, str=1.5, rad=0.6, pshrp=0.3)  ## sharpen: for hi-q sources
## NonlinUSM(z=3, str=2.5, rad=0.6)          ## sharpen: less noise
## NonlinUSM(z=6, pow=1.0, str=1, rad=6)     ## unsharp 
##
## NonlinUSM(pow=1.0, rad=2, str=0.7)        ## smoothen: for noisy sources
## NonlinUSM(pow=1.0, rad=18, str=0.5)       ## smear: soft glow

## NonlinUSM(z=16, pow=4.0, str=18, rad=6)   ## B+W psycho 
## NonlinUSM(z=16, pow=4.0, str=3, rad=6)    ## sepia/artistic 
## NonlinUSM(z=6, pow=4.0, str=1, rad=36)    ## local contrast 
## NonlinUSM(z=6, pow=1.0, str=1, rad=36)    ## local contrast

    str   = Float(Default(str, 0.7))    ## strength
    rad   = Float(Default(rad, 9.0))    ## radius for "gauss"
    ldmp  = Float(Default(ldmp, 0.001)) ## damping for very small differences
    pshrp = Float(Default(pshrp, 0.0)) 

    g = o.BicubicResize(Round(o.Width / rad / 4) * 4, Round(o.Height / rad / 4) * 4)

    mt_lutxy(o, g, "x x y - abs " + String(z) + " / 1 " + String(pow) +

     \       U=2, V=2)

    Overlay(o, Last, opacity=str)
    Sharpen(pshrp)
    return Last

I compared screen of video applied Sharpen filter vs. SeeSaw and the script which raffriff42 gave
But I didn't see any much difference ....
