The project was almost done when I made the amazing discovery that in the worst parts, the odd fields were 80% intact and only the even fields were damaged. So a completely unwatchable noise ridden wedding video with some slight filtering has become an amazing resurrection from the trash heap.
With that out of the way I can now start tonight/tomorrow looking at Moth3r's movie.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Moth3r did say he added and removed frames to help sink the audio? Ay, that's gonna hurt.
