I use ffdshow and zoom player for all movies I watch. ffdshow has an amazing number of settings, here is htpcnews' guide for setting

moved the "Blur & NR" setting up as far as possible it is time to configure it. Enable this setting by checking the box next to it. You have two preferred methods of removing noise from your DVD picture. The first is to use Gradual denoise. You can use this option by selecting the check mark next to it. I typically set mine to 25. The method I currently use is denoise3d, which is located at the bottom. Try setting the dnoise3d luma to .5, the chroma to .5, the time to 5 and check the HQ box. Again use this as a reference and then once you get everything working play with the settings on your own to find what you feel looks best.

"Resize & aspect". Do the same as you did with "Blur & NR" and use the arrows on the left of this setting to move it up just below "Blur & NR". Resize does basically what it sounds like, it resizes the video to the size you specify. Typically you want to keep the resize setting at double DVD resolution (1440×960) or your desktop resolution whichever is greater.</blockquote

Under "Resize & aspect" you will see a settings area for resize. This is the main area where the sharpening of the image is done. You will notice a drop down box here with many selectable items in it. These are all the available resize algorithms. Typically I tend to use Lanczos as this gives the best quality image on my display. You will have to change the Luma and Chroma Sharpen settings to your taste but for now you can start out with the settings I use which is 1.5 for each. as for parameter you can try many options here or leave it at default. For now I will put it at 10.</blockquote
