Multiple Clips from Old VHS Source
I used an inexpensive DVD recorder to record a VHS that has poor quality.
As part of editing in Sony Vegas Movie Studio v9, I want to use some sort of plug-in(s) to improve video quality as much as possible before rendering. But it’s not clear to me what filters in Vegas to use, or if I need to use some other piece of software to improve video quality.Can someone help !?
PS – I created multiple clips from the original and want to render these seapatately. Then bring them together in DVD Architect to produce a DVD. The goal is to produce something that has the best quality possible.

Hey Jerry, check out Neat Video https://www.neatvideo.com/ for getting the best quality out of low quality footage. Truly amazing product!! Make sure to click the examples link. Very cost effective price as well.

Rob recommended a good option…
However when using this amazing plugin, be
prepared for a L-O-N-G rendering time.
But its worth the wait.Steve Rhoden

Neat Video will definitely help with noise reduction but it really depends on what is causing the poor quality is. If there is tearing or other sync problems there is nothing you can do after the fact. You need to capture the tape with a device that has Time Base Correction to clean things up on the way in. The fact that you captured a low quality VHS as more low quality MPEG2 makes matters even worse. The MPEG2 encoder does not handle noise very well at all and has probably made the original VHS footage even worse than the original.
You really want to capture bad VHS as DV AVI and clean it up before you render to MPEG2. If you want to capture directly to MPEG2 you should use a device that has the ability to do some noise reduction during capture. You have your work cut out for you.
