Both of these dithering methods are from http://pippin.gimp.org/a_dither/ for GIF they can be considered better than bayer (provides more gray-levels), and spatial stability - often more than twice as good compression and less visual flicker than error diffusion methods (the methods also avoids error-shadow artifacts of diffusion dithers). These methods are similar to blue/green noise type dither masks; but are simple enough to generate their mask on the fly. They are still research work in progress; though more expensive to generate masks (which can be used in a LUT) like 'void and cluster' and similar methods will yield superior results

@c man begin SCALER OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The video scaler supports the following named options.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
 | 
						|
FFmpeg tools. For programmatic use, they can be set explicitly in the
 | 
						|
@code{SwsContext} options or through the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
@table @option
 | 
						|
