[Tycon3] blurry video quality

Yes, but transferring over 20 GB of original MPEG2 data is not easy :)

I've tried some settings and then I decided to convert the files to

Video:
320x240px,
12,5 fps
Audio:
11025Hz
Mono
MP3

I tried Xvid, but the results were larger files and less quality than 
dvix. Maybe I could have tried more settings, but than I decided tu use 
dvix.

blending

And beside deinterlacing I do:
sharpen
brightness/contrast
dynamic noise reduction

My deinterlacing is done with the virtualdub filter when encoding to divx.
