How can I improve the quality of a clip that suffers from smearing/

You cannot. You cannot replace information that has been lost.


No ****. I said "improve quality," not "replace."


Which is a ridiculous request. Sorta like "improving the quality" of the
output of an 8-bit A/D. The noise is (or in your case, artifacts are)
there to stay.
