I only did that to make a snippet sample. But yes, the full file is an mp4 which I would like to improve.

As always on this site, it is not recommended to give us a further conversion, but rather give us an un-recoded snippet of the ORIGINAL (using methods we've documented here before). That is really the only way to get an accurate base assessment.

Re-encoding with a lossy codec is reducing the quality even further. And WMV is especially hard to work with. You should have used an mp4 cutter to extract a short portion of the source without re-encoding.
But from the looks of the wmv file -- you're not going to be able to do much to improve it. You can restore the original 23.976 fps frame rate to make it less jerky, make it a little brighter, and sharpen it a tiny bit.

You might get slightly better results from the MP4 file. But I don't think it's worth the trouble. Especially since you can get better sources. You're local library probably has the series on DVD (mine does). -
Thanks for the assistance.
What I did because I noticed in VirtualDub that in the drop down of file types it did not show or support an mp4, so I converted the entire file to an avi, and now, the avi file is displayed where it previously stated it did not have anything that would match.
I will proceed with your original advisement of VDub. Is it as self-explanatory as pushing a couple of buttons? -

Start what? Save a new file with your changes? File -> Save As...

I happened to be at our local library a few days ago so I checked out one of the Columbo DVDs (5 discs, 10 episodes, cost me 50 cents). Here's a sample of one of the DVDs:

And a similar shot from your WMV file:

Stop fiddling with the poor source you have and get the DVD.
