With Avisynth:

Pre-Processing:

deen("a3d",4)
KernelBob(order=1,sharp=true,threshold=8)
BlendBob(badFrames=0)

You would want to use IVTC. I used KernelBob because I was already six months into editing.

Post-Processing:

deen("a3d",4)
converttoy12()

With VirtualDubMod:

No pre-processing since I was editing with VOB files via D2V files via AVS files. This is way backwards. I should have converted to lossless codec files, which would have done me a lot better, and I could have used IVTC.

Post-Processing:

deinterlace(blend) (probably unnecessary, but just in case)
crop (to get rid of both black bars and bad edges. I should have done this in pre- as I said)
HSV, S = 150% (This is "saturation" and allows you to make the colors appear brighter. H is "hue" and you don't want to mess with it or V unless you're intentionally screwing around with them for some dramatic effect)
resize to 640x480 (since I cropped, I needed to resize it back to the proper 4:3 ratio)
temporal smoother [4] (same as deen, not as good as deen, but works).

Great! Just what I needed. This combined with the section I looked over in absolute destiny's guide should be all I need know. I'm grateful for both your time and patience. That should hopefully be all. It's 4 am where I'm at. I think I'll start messing around w/ some of these filters tommo--err later on today. =)
