    I have a black and white movie that looks like it has been created in 3d or 1080p it comes out fuzzy. It there any way to sharpen the picture? This makes the sound out of sync! I got this movie from YouTube. John

  2. Sample image. Or better, video. But in short, you usually can't make a video much sharper.

  5. I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like but this is a little smoother and sharper:

    With the actual video one might do a little better.

    If I could take the chunks out that would be great. Is that due to it being originally converted to 3d or ' HD ?

    It's due to being encoded in very low bitrates,nothing to do with 3d and hd conversion.

    How do I fix it? Higher bitrates? How do I raise the bitrate?

    You can't fix it since all the details are lost,you need to get the original source which should be hd in quality,if not then there's nothing else you can do.

    I used AviSynth

    Code:
    ImageSource("gomer.jpg") 
    Crop(0,1,-151,-0)
    ConvertToYV12()
    Spline36Resize(width/2, height/2)
    aWarpSHarp(depth=10)
    nnedi3_rpow2(2, cshift="SPline36Resize")
    aWarpSharp(depth=10)

    You mean the blocky artifacts? A deblocking filter can help with that. But you end up replacing the blocks with overly smooth areas.

    No, the main problem is over compression. There's no detail left, edges have become very ragged, and there are lots of blocky artifacts.
