I added this to the set-up guide and thought it might be of interest to others. It is a demonstration of madVR's dithering. It is quite impressive.
Dithering to 2-bits:
2 bit No Dithering
2 bit Ordered Dithering
I thought madVR's claim of preserving 16-bit information at lower bitrates was BS, but I am more convinced than before. I think this is the reason why Lanczos3 + AR in madVR looks superior to DXVA Lanczos3 + AR in DVDPlayer. DVDPlayer has no such dithering...well, as of yet. I've heard it is a planned feature.
