The video has some awful edge moire patterns going on, Anytime there's something with a sharp line, eg. the car at 2m50 - 2m58 (screenshot below), edges of people's shirts, a shot of a building, very distracting in 50+ scenes (as the pattern flickers and scrolls) and slightly visible in 100s of others.
The video release is 25fps (not interlaced 50fps source) - so sadly it appears baked into the original video and I'm sure it can't be removed now. I tried a few interlace settings in Topaz that's normally quite good with interlace lines - but Moire patterns on objects it can't handle. Unless Ghost knows better
Ghost I'm surprised you would release anything with these interlace edge issues But it was 6-7 years ago!

If anyone has the original 50fps video (this was a .TS implying a digital TV rip maybe?) we could fix it.

The video is a WEB-DL fom netzkino.de. I didn't get it from TV. There was a time when I muxed all my videos to TS-containers, because my old TV-receiver's hardware media player only could play these files.

I don't know how netzkino.de destroyed this video.

Ah, that explains it!
I guess netzkino.de made it by converting it from interlaced 50fps to 25fps without the correct setting to remove the interlacing properly.
I recall reading you have to deinterlace BEFORE resizing. Possible they did a resize without deinterlacing, or tried to deinterlace / drop every other frame without deinterlacing - hence the nasty pattern. Any basic virtual dub deinterlace filter would have done a better job before we get into the advanced one you recomended!

You can try, but I thimk you can't fix this pattern.

Do it, a DVDrip is certainly worth checking out!

Looks a LOT better - you should have seen how the lines flickered as the camera panned down!

An Amazon review for the dvd says this (I will still get the DVDRip (also found the Full dvd5 now which provided extras) to check myself):

Spoiler: 4,0 von 5 Sternen Guter Film Rezension aus Deutschland vom 23. Dezember 2019 Verifizierter Kauf Ich sah eine ältere Version mit mehr Inhalt. Diese Version ist geschnitten. In der ältern Version sah man Lilli mit dem Tommy ein Kondom aufmachen und über sich herfallen. Und Lillis Ziehvater hat sich auch lustvoll auf Lilli gestürzt. Deshalb nur 4 Sterne. Doch sonst ein guter Film. I saw an older version with more content. This version is cut. In the older version, Lilli was seen opening a condom with Tommy and falling over herself. And Lilli's foster father also threw himself lustfully on Lilli. Therefore, only 4 stars. But otherwise a good movie.

Which is weird because all film databases (even excluding IMDb there not always reliable) list the numerous DVDs as uncut, unedited.
