I am in the process of taking old VHS video recorded by family and making it digital so that I can later create a DVD. Most of the video is between 15 and 23 years old. I started with the oldest (screen shot below) and I would like suggestions on what filters to use in Virtualdub. I have already used "Neat Video" to reduce as much noise as possible.

Main Problems
- Video blurs a lot as the camera moves
- Colors are washed out
- Need advice on what order to run filters
- Should I de-intelace?

Capture Method and Problems
- I used xvid at 1846 Kbps, other formats suggested like mjpeg were very jittery.
- I am trying to capture about 2 hours of VHS at a time, so a new codec suggestion should be based on this.
- My capture device forces video to 720x480 only

For this type of help, I suggest:

The VirtualDub Forum takes a couple of days to register you, but the Creator of VirtualDub hangs out there.
Both may ask for a small sample (a file share site would be best).
