That work well out of the box? Honestly, I’m not sure.

Back in the day, I’d turn to vapoursynth or (Or avisynth+) filters and a lot of hand editing, basically go through the trouble sections one-by-one and see which combination of VHS-specific correction and regeneration looks best.

These days, we have far more powerful tools. I’d probably start by training a LoRA for Wan 2B or something, then use it to straight up regenerate damaged test sections with video-2-video. Then I’d write a script to detect them, and mix in some “traditional” vapoursynth filters.

…But this is all very manual, like python dev level with some media/ml knowledge, unfortunately. I am much less familiar with, like, a GUI that could accomplish this. Paid services out there likely offer this, but who knows how well they work.
