Here's what I think I'm going to end up using unless anyone here can suggest further improvements.

I used it as suggested. I went for “ultra fast” because my system has a fairly hefty overclock and I don't want it getting too hot for too long. Having said that the deinterlace really makes a big difference.

I had a go both with undot and deadpixelremove but neither the job. I think the camera has a several dead pixels adjacent to one another or else the h264 is spreading the effect around.

I'm got rid of the dead pixels with a virtualdub filter. The delogo filter can be loaded into avisynth like this http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...09&postcount=4

I'm indebted you Johnmeyer for your excellent video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z12Tu...el_video_title
I'm amazed how much better I made bad video look with a bit of work and a lot of help from on here.

This was my first thread on doom9 and I'm hugely grateful for the input of all the folks on this site.

LoadVirtualDubPlugin("C:...delogo.vdf","DeLogo")

remember what the others do. If I don't know I tend to leave it at default. Were you going to suggest something else?
TV Levels would be more usual ie range 16 -> 235 rather than 0 -> 255
Code:
SmoothLevels(9,1,170,16,235,show=false,Lmode=3)
SmoothAdjust thread here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154971

Might also like to try Autogain by same author :
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=167573


Or you might like to try this in future (rather than vdub). {requires recent RT_Stats and GScript}:

RoboLevels.avs
Code:
Function RoboLevels(clip c,float "Strength",int "Samples",float "Ignore",Bool "ALQBC",Bool "QBC",Float "QBC_Thresh",int "X",int "Y",int "W",int "H", \
    int "Matrix",bool "PC",bool "DEBUG",bool "Laced", Int "WMod",Int "HMod",bool "Show") {
# Samples a number of frames from source clip and using minimum and maximum luma levels from those samples, auto levels clip.
# Default temporarily auto crop borders and samples the area remaining, or if both ALQBC and QBC == false then samples X,Y,W,H coords instead.
# Can optionally return border cropped clip when QBC==true.
#
# Args:
#  Strength, default 0.95 (0.0 -> 1.0). Auto levelling strength.
#  Samples, default 32. Number of frames sampled from source clip c.
#  Ignore, default 0.2 (0.0 -> 100%). Percentage of dark pixels to ignore when ascertaining YPlaneMin, YPlaneMax (noise).
#  ALQBC, default=true. Use temp auto cropped clip coords for auto levels sampling.
#  QBC, default false. If true then returns border cropped clip else non cropped.
#  QBC_Thresh, default -32.0. Threshold used for border detection. See RT_QueryBorderCrop.
#     NOTE, RT_QueryBorderCrop 'massages' DEFAULT THRESH (exactly -32.0) if low samples count or if short clip. Reason being to avoid
#     overcropping when insufficient data available for reliable cropping. It is considered better to not crop enough or at all, than
#     to overcrop. You can override by simply setting an explicit threshold (+ve) of eg 40.0, or setting a NON-DEFAULT auto thresh (-ve)
#     eg -16.0 or -32.1, where YPlaneMin is established for the sampled frames and then abs(thresh) is added to that value which is
#     then used as an explicit thresh.
#  X,Y,W,H. All default 0, ie full frame. Coords for luma sampling, only used if both ALQBC and QBC are both false.
#  Matrix default= 2(PC601) if clip width<720 else 3(PC709).
#     Conversion matrix for conversion of RGB to YUV-Y Luma.  0=REC601 : 1=REC709 : 2 = PC601 : 3 = PC709:  YUV not used
#     DO NOT USE Matrix of 0 or 1.
#  PC default = false. If YUV and PC == true then auto level PC Levels 0->255 instead of TV levels 16->235. RGB always 0->255
#  Debug default false. If true then send info the DebugView.
#    Recommended, DebugView: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb545027
#  Laced, default = true. Alters Interlaced default for HMod, HMod doubled if true.
#  WMod, default = the natural cropping WMod for clip c colorspace (eg 2 for YV12 and YUY2, 1 for RGB).
#  HMod, default = the natural cropping HMod for clip c colorspace (eg 2 for YV12 and 1 for YUY2 and RGB), but doubled if Laced==true.
#    NOTE, WMod, HMod, If overridden must all be multiples of natural cropping WMod and HMod for clip c colorspace.
#    NOTE, VirtualDubMod and some players, may not like any colorspace WMOD less than 4 (Vdub latest, OK).
#    NOTE, If eg VDMod show blank frame, OR eg player halts saying eg "No combination of filters cound be found to render frame"
#    then set WMod to a multiple of 4. We do not do this by default as Current VDub and some player/encoders may work just fine.
#    If you dont care about possibility of losing a couple of pixels then always supply WMod=4 to avoid display problems.
#  Show, default false. If true, shows Levels() used on frame.
