What setting do I use so the avi file is not so large.

I never bothered with it till now. I must say it does an amazing job cleaning up video. 3 eps of Mr Merlin looks like crap. The others are very watchable. So I dont know if I ll do the rest. These 3 are just terrible. I converted the mepg to avi-

Ran it through 6 filters of Virtual dub . The results were amazing.

I then ran it through tmpeg w/ noise reduction filter converted back to mepg.

My question Is there a certain codec to select to make the avi smaller?

I did run into one small problem. My first attempt it didnt turn out so hot. I had to select De interlace filter ( blend fields) . Other wise it looked worse.

LS send me some virtual dub guides

Deinterlace is not correct, you made a mistake. You need space to work with Vdub and do a good job. I don't have time to make any guides right now. Open file, run a few filters, save as an uncompressed AVI, re-encode to MPEG-2 with MainConcept.

You can also bypass AVI encode step and directly frameserve (AVISynth) to MainConcept. This is good for when space is limited.

I know it should have been interlaced. It looked like crap when I kept it interlaced for some reason??? The source is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad . Mark is already doing a 101 restortation projects for me. I was trying to fix these at home lol

I think you have those backwards.
Why is AFTER so washed out to nothingness?

Don't use PowerDVD, use VirtualDub and "copy output frame to clipboard" and "copy input frame to clipboard" and cut/paste those into Photoshop and save you JPEG images.
