Have a look at this: That's more noise than my eyes can take.

Take a look at the top and bottom border of the text window. You can also distinguish a lot of noise in the text itself.

This is good exemple of how things looks when the screen is animated. You can notice the difference between the stone pavement of the previous screenshot and this one.

I don't think I need to point out any details for you to realise how bad this one looks.

Another "Noisy" text box.

So this is how my Video-In looks like. And the "Noise reduction" option doesn't clear the image up, in fact, it just blurs it to a point where it's unplayable and annoying. I also tried the "One Field" and "Both fields" settings but to no avail. With the latter, the image is just shaking.
