After installing K-Lite Codec Pack go to Start, Programs, K-Lite Codec Pack, Configuration, ffdshow video decoder

Then when ffdshow video decoder opens scroll down to:

'Blur & NR' and then check the box 'Blur & Noise Reduction' and 'Process Whole Image'

Then 'Sharpen' and select the box 'Sharpen' and 'Process Whole Image'

And then 'Resize & Aspect' and select the box 'Resize' then 'Resize to Screen Resolution' and 'Process Whole Image'
