Which filter for noisy capture?

[Singh00]

Hey, I've got an mpeg recorded from tv with some pretty bad noise in it. I'm not sure exactly how to clean it up. I've tried dynamic noise reduction and 2d cleaner in virtualdub, but neither worked. Does anyone know which filter I can use with vitualdub, avisynth, something else? Here's a screenshot of what I'm dealing with. The dots jump around pretty fast, but stay localized to the bands that are evident. Also, the bands move up the screen, keeping the same distance from each other, and eventually appear out of the bottom again.

Note: The jpeg doesnt really show the dots well. They are actually much sharper, and are pure white.

Use a median filter : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83883

Singh00,
try Despot, may be with DePan.

also, turn your DVD player off next time :)

i got the exact same pattern when i had my Toshiba DVD player sitting on top of my VCR. other things can cause it too.

yeah. i'd say bob that, then run despot on it. the spots are per-field aren't they?

Thanks to everyone for the advice. The picture is nice and clean now.
