You can get much better results.
First of all, hqdn3d works quite well (as has been said many times
here) to clean up the video to (both) make it look better, and far more
compressable.
The second thing I would recomend is blur. I often use
'unsharp' with low values. Most TV signals have all sorts of random
artifacts, and MPEG-4 (unfortunately) tries it's best to preserve every
one of them, rather than disregarding the artifacts. Unsharp can help a
lot, because it will throw away most extra info that doesn't belong in
the picture.
Finally, using vhq (if you aren't) improves the quality far more than
just hqdn3d or unsharp can.

just might do better to use MPEG1 (which disregards very fine details)
rather than MPEG4 (which uses extra bits to preserve the details of the
analog artifacts :-) ).
