Video, unfortunately, is simply a low rez medium (unless, I suppose, you’re talking about HDTV). Typically, you’ll find that video is interlaced, so right off the bat, try the de-interlace filter (in P7, this was under Filter > Video > De-Interlace…). This will canel out "scan lines" that are often visible in video output.

You might also break out your color channels and see if any particular channel contains a sharper image than the others (or the combination of them).

You might try playing with
image> adjustments> brightness and contrast and/or >curves. or filter> sharpen> unsharp mask
