i updated my signature with latest build
nothing it's changed from the madvr side... i will continue my work later, now i take a break on this because my head was exploding, but in these day of testing i think that it's already pretty usable... some crash occurs in certain specified case that are not so usual anyway the work it's in progress
i fixed the problem with the option "system filters ds merits" and merged with Helix 14.2 final

LOL but that is what you said - that it was "designed to replace".

It's different. And it doesn't replace or designed to replace.

I disagree that FFDShow RAW is a required filter. I want all of my resizing to be done in madVR with its superior scaling and high bit-depth output. Also, I'm not interested in using any artificial sharpening. I want everything to be scaled from the source. As for FFDShow Audio, I use WASAPI playback and don't want any mixing to be applied to the audio. The DAC in my receiver should do all of the processing. These are very advanced features and hardly necessary for reference picture or audio quality.
I think the guide is dense enough without FFDShow. So I don't think I'm going to include it. I would consider it an alternative topic. As such, I placed references to FFDShow in the "Other Resources" section.
Also, there is already a detailed guide available dealing with FFDShow and madVR. That link is provided.

It is debatable that MadVR Jinc3+AR gives superior visual quality over FFDShow AVisynth spline64 though with or without sharpening filter applied. But for weaker system it definitely better in many case. Not everyone would go out to buy new graphics card just to use Jinc3+AR in MadVR though.
What you like about apply sharpening is also debatable since most advance scaling algorithm do some of sharpening itself already. It just that what you want to manipulate /enhance it further or not. It's personal taste.
Also not everyone has AVR as well. Many users would benefit from audio processor.
It's ok that you don't want to include these since you won't use it. But I believe many would benefit from it and may found it suites their taste more. So it's all about options.
