That video was made for a very old version of Paint.NET, the DDS plugin that it used was replaced with this one in Paint.NET 4.2.2.

Not all of the settings shown in the old plugin are present in this plugin, the two plugin use different code for DXT compression and mipmap resizing.

Mapping the common options shown in your screenshot:

 

DXT5 (Interpolated Alpha) is the same as BC3 (Linear, DXT5).

The Error Metric section should be identical between the two plugins.

The SuperSampling resampling mode has been replaced by Cubic.

awesome, thanks for the help

pasted your message into the comments section (credited of course) for others who'll run into the issue

this plugin seems super useful, but i've hit a snag in my intended usage

trying to create a lod spray to use in tf2, and this guide video says to save the intended images as .dds files with specific settings, none of which are present in my installation of paint.net

what gives
