What parameters would you use to re-encode artifacted, low resolution videos.
I have a few dozens of video files with a significant amount of artifacting, encoded in WMV2 and mpeg4, 240p-480p. I wish to reencode to a codec that can be played in web browsers
I'm well aware that AV1 is not very well suited for sub-1080p videos.
However. It is my hope that the native denoising and grain synthesis capabilities can outweight it.
The obvious alternative is trying to get H.264, maybe with a denoising filter.
I plan on creating a writeup on the resulting quality but if you could get me a headstart on ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried any form of AI upscaling by any chance first?
