random how-tos

I was recently introduced to AviSynth, a script-based video processing system. What most interests me about this in an immediate way is its ability to handle video as separate fields, instead of as "frames." Very exciting.

I will start a collection of scripts here once I have some time to get stuff together and see what it will do.
