Hi Aliyans,

I guess if your source is bad you can only improve it so much ... increasing bitrate ... I don't think it helps ...

You might be able to make the picture a little sharper and so forth ... so use "AviDemux" and when saving the file use it's various FILTERs ... e.g. SHARP ...

You might also take a look at AviSynth. It has some learning curve but no shortage of filters and tutorials.

Depending on the problems with the input, sometimes you can transform pretty horrible input into something watchable. A lot of free conversion software just provides a GUI that generates an AviSynth script and inputs it into free or open source converters.
