Hi I am trying to clean up some VHS captures from a cartoon (The Mysterious Cities of Gold) that aired here in Sweden 1991-92, I now that there is a French DVD release, but they don’t have the Swedish audio track one them. :)

I have uploaded 2 video clips.
Clip1 (http://mrkhyron1.angeltowns.com/temp/guld_bi1.avi)(6,5mb)
Clip2 (http://mrkhyron1.angeltowns.com/temp/guld_bi2.avi)(16.3mb)

Do anyone have any good script(s) to clean up this mess?
I have tried with some filterīs but I only blurring it to hell and I want to keep the video interlaced because my goal is to but it on a DVD.

I play with three scripts:

First is original source:

Second is convolution 3d filter(used yv12 version because source is yv12) with high parametars (1, 32, 128, 16, 64, 10, 0)

Third is: degrainmedian(limitY=5,limitUV=7,mode=0,interlaced=true)

I play in power dvd and set vivid color so picture is more live.

I'd use FFT3DFilter(sigma=3,plane=4,bw=32,bh=32,bt=3,ow=16,oh=16,sharpen=0.7) for denoising both luma and chroma, then maybe DeHalo_Alpha().
Maybe this needs DeFreq as well, although I know nothing about that particular topic.

Are those interlacing lines or is it noise? If it's the latter, TurnLeft().DeScratch().TurnRight() might help.
