I am cropping 6 lines of VHS butchered crud from the bottom of a frame. To maintain aspect ratio:

crop(4,0,712,474)

I want to resize this to 720x480 again. What's the best way to do this without losing a lot of detail? I have tried various methods, but they all seem to soften the image (even Lanczos, though it is supposed to "sharpen"). Given that I don't have such a great source to work from in the first place (it is VHS, after all), that seems a high price to pay for 8 pixels on the sides and 6 on the bottom ...

Any suggestions?
