I had a look at your clip and I don't think my filter (or similar ones) will help very much. The reason is that the "flicker" is actually a dark band that scrolls up the frame. So, in fact the average luminosity of the frame remains the same but is distributed differently across the frames. You'll need to find a fix for that specific issue. This search may help:

Actually using VirtualDub, applied the deflicker filter and motion blur filters cleaned it up rather nice. The video is for an elderly lady and has a hard time watching the screen with the rolling (basically out of sync shutter speed) video. The two filters completely removed the flicker, or roll, and now me just needs to sharp things up a bit and should be good to go. BTW - VirtualDub rocks!!! Thanks again for all the help.

Does anybody have a recommendation on recompiling the 32 bit deflicker to 64 bit? That be a bit out of me league.

It's likely the temporal smoothing that is doing the trick. Try the built-in temporal smoother in VirtualDub.

@duke444

Showing us the rendered file is useless. Post a link to an unprocessed source sample.

Yeah, but "myfiles" may be your files, but they are not *my* files. If you want help, give me a working link.
