Thanks to Mack Mantilla for giving me an idea to work on this.
Special thanks to Christian Schonberger, a friend of mine who enhanced the audio.
Thanks to Jordan / Chinwonder for helping me deal with a couple of sync issues we ran into.
What was done:
* Some colour correction
* Reduced highlights (they were blown and still are, but now somewhat more tolerable)
* Attempted to smooth out the pans. Using a tripod was a great idea but the pans weren't as nice so they're moderately stabilized. Sometimes a side of the black border goes into frame a little bit but that's a compromise so that I don't have to zoom the video in too much.
* General clean up and slightly reduced colour bleeding
The goal was to make it look and sound as close as possible to a pro recording shot from far away, like a TV news camera for example. Maybe it's more enjoyable overall this way.
Comparsion -
The audio jumps are on purpose to hear the difference.

What size was the mpeg file you worked with?
Unless someone got hold of (what I was led to believe was the master tape) after I did the first transfer to DVD circa 2002/3 and did a new transfer themselves, you could have been working with a re-encoded mpg file....
My original encode is 01:41:10 long
The m2v file is 3,891,672 (3.71gb)
the ac3 is mono
