Cleaning old 640x480 AVI clips

As written to PM, thank you. Tomorrow I shall try different settings. Great you have fixed the issue with FineDeHalo filter.

Hi Selur,
Today I have played with dev version of Hybrid and must say that you have fixed all the problems I have encoutered applying filters I wanted to use. That is why I asked you about certain things in the past.
So to sum up, now I can use Filter queue using the followng filters: YAHR, FineDeHalo and QTGMC in Denoise option. Moreover, I can also use Preset Very slow and in the case of Match Preset and Match Preset 2 I can also use Very slow settings plus Source matching 2x refined! That is really nice. And probably even better path than described by me a few pages above.
PS In Filter queue I have tried to add QTGMC filter twice and to my suprise the output is sharper than in the case of single use of it. Why? I have thought it would be the opposite since usually denoiseing leads to softening of the image.
Please find enclosed the samples:

Today I have been playing, choosing different denoising filters to remove noise and other strange artifacts from my immortal AVI files... I have recalled that filtering these files caused some loss of dynamic range. Hence, I have performed the following test: Namely, I have taken an AVI filter, and then in Hybrid, using the Filter Queue option, I have set the following filter order: YAHR 1/16, FineDeHalo, and Denoise by QTGMC filter. I have chosen FFV1 and mkv and rendered them. I have compared it with the original AVI, and the rendered file has a worse dynamic range; the highlights have been blown, and in the shadows, the details have gone. Why?
Then, using the Shutter Encoder, I changed the AVI to FFV1 and repeated the procedure. It turns out that the output is very similar to the original AVI file from a dynamic range standpoint. Hence, the question is: why has using the original AVI file and then different filters led to the loss of dynamic range?
Moreover, I have taken the original avi file, and in Hybrid, I have converted it to an FFV1 file without applying any filters, and again, I have repeated the procedure. The result was like in the case of AVI and then Hybrid filters.
Hence, it seems that to keep the original dynamic range, using for instance the Shutter encoder is crucial. Maybe other methods are also possible, but this step is just necessary.
Has anybody observed the same issue?
Below, I attach the file to play with or just look at.
