As far as the fuzzy area near the top, unfortunately that's a bit of an artifact from the sharpening process. When a black border crosses into the actual video the filter assumes it's an edge. That can leave a bright white band across it. To stop it you have to mask the filter to prevent it from sharping the first line or two on all 4 sides. This causes it's own artifacting, but not nearly as distracting as the white line.
Before anyone asks, yes I did try cropping all borders before sharpening but for some reason that screwed up the unsharp filter causing weird diagonal black lines across the picture. It had to be sharpened before all other filters.
I told you there were trade offs.
