NTSC DV files deinterlaced (BFF mode) and decompressed. Vertical borders cropped, resolution upscaled, sharpness, color saturation and contrast encreased. Chroma noise has been lowered by a HQ denoising filter. Audio resampled, sound as of 3:19 on right channel shifted to left one because it stopped working in original.
