When I was writing this script, I didn't know about DisplaceD plugin (and didn't find it with search). Now, after I have a quick look at it's description, looks like you won't need my script at all, if you're already using DisplaceD.
I'll have a closer look to this plugin and will add a bit more detailed reply after that.
There was a plugin called DisplaceD which has similarities to how this script works only that the DisplaceD permits a lot more option into the final mesh unanimated while this script may be missing out on a lot. However, this plugin actually works for animated displacement unlike the DisplaceD plugin. Thought about updating the plugin while intergrating features from the DisplaceD plugin?
