Well i can do a little review for you.

The plugin makes video files look 100% better and sharper. If you rip your own dvds to avi, it gets blurry and its not even close to DVD quality, but with this plugin its looks like "DVD quality" again! Well it's not perfect again, but the difference it makes, makes your jaw drop.
I'm not even kidding, as you can see in the screenshot on the website thats what it can do.

Taken from: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/PixelFusion.htm

"We noticed that most downloaded or streamed video tend to look 'blurry' due to a reduction in the resolution of the video in order to reduce download time. When viewed, it is usually stretched, or resampled, to a higher resolution. This process is what causes the video to become blurry. Video could be viewed at the original resolution, but it tends to be very small, making it difficult to watch.

The key is in the algorithm which enlarges the video to a reasonable viewing size. Usually, a standard bilinear or bicubic algorithm is performed, which work by interpolating the existing pixels in an image to create more pixels. Because they only perform a simple mathematical interpolation which reproduces smooth transitions from one pixel to another, they will always cause an image to appear more blurry.

Pixelfusion is different, in that it attempts to more accurately predict the pixels that existed in the original high resolution source, to create a much crisper and perceptually clearer image."
