    I have read her story. I believe Anju has a beautiful mind and personality. When she wrote all this herself, then she is an artist, because artists are moving the emotion in other people, and they make visible the contradictions and issues that society or humanity has, in a way others would...

    thanks but did you look at the file names? ISO was original, AVI is the processed. I'm using 1920x1080 devices, the tablet is a big HP with a few more lines even. Might not work with 4k screens.

    what are your settings for deblocking, in case you use dgdecode? MPEG2Source ("D:\Aki_LPFD-214\Aki_LPFD-214.d2v",cpu=5,moderate_h=55,moderate_v=65,info=2) it seems that stronger deblocking disturbes the deinterlacer. deringing is helpful for many sources. I'm currently at compression=18, to...

    thx for feedback, it has come a long way since then. main problem for reuse is to understand the numeric language of the kernel. for anyone else it will be hard to know which kernel should be used for a new attempt.

    nnedi3 sounds interesting. Is it the one with the 13MB pattern database? Perhaps I should try it. But it is still bobbing? About the canvas ringing, I wonder how this can have any relevance, nothing to see there. The asymmetric kernel needs a shift, so internally there is a canvas to add left...

    my suggestion nonetheless can concern uploading, if someone who uploads has a clear target about who will watch it, and here comes the HQ tablet and the notebook. those who are used to 4k dolby suites watching the most recent stuff, will not watch a DVD anyway, unless it is some "cult" content...

The next scene is more troublesome, the encode will eat up a lot again, hard to defeat without losing file size benefit. If some small detail in the original is a bit...

    You can use kernels with smaller compensation any time. However, a video that has good dithering in the first place will be always come back better. Just that I didn't explore that direction more consciously. One factor is how natural the skin appears to you, there are ways to boost different...

    x265 has better handling of motion in bigger areas, which is cpu-intense. the benefit depends on the video having such elements. else it might end up with similar file size. this time it looks as if we had cranked up the denoiser a bit, which is probably normal behavior for x265 at higher...

    ASUS TUF is my first device ever that can playback x265 at all. I tried a couple of encodes, file size came down roughly a 50 percent. Results did not feel exciting, though technically looked correct. There is a lot of underestimated culture on meta level, ie. how the shapes of the artifacts...

    Ah yes, thx for discovering. There are two issues: The chroma is downshifted, probably because notoriously the artwork is using different subsampling positions or whatever, and I adjust only on the live material, not on any artwork, else I would have to split and process every section...

    In case it's not obvious, the smaller pics are VLC screen shots with the ISO. I would need presets for about 10 types of videos, does it auto-switch?

    In principle yes, but when half the detail turns out bogus artifact, it becomes individual choice. I do it when I like the girl but the video is technically poor.

    It's of course impossible by conservative ways, I just process accordingly. The first pic on the bridge is from a progressive DVD, no deinterlacer, 30fps.

    I found out the colormatrix values must be scrambled or the makers of the DVDs don't care. I know I left out the red to luma influence, because I love the bright shining red. It's more like I end up with anime colors. Following defaults, it ends up yellow-ish which I dislike. Some progressive...

    Thank you Porni, yes the regular trade-off with artifacts vs blur. Taste and eyes are different, so I prefer the softening to grain and halo. It would of course be possible to reverse that, and also cancel the denoiser in the x264.

    Fumina Suzuki - AI Upscaling and Fan Collection

    Recently, some upscaled videos are popping up in several places. My opinion: If it is an old DVD, result often does not reward the effort, unless some typical artifacts will get addressed in very targeted ways. There are other problems besides resolution, that still make it look poor. Sometimes...

    Addendum I scripted all these cover, profile, and gallery pics, if there are some. They will be shown for half a second each. But the audio has to be edited manually, to insert silence or dummy music for these few seconds. Same for the moving menu and chapter cuts. I did only a few audios so...

    Many of the following were very difficult. Saaya above as well. Some originals very old. Some had serious halo and ringing artifacts. Watch the Narumi Okawa set. If you know the original, and perhaps tried to sharpen it, you might notice how well the ringing was defeated. It works not always...

    Here are some examples, perhaps we should create a particular thread for such? You may see some off pixels by the deinterlacer. When you let the video play, this practically disappears, or looks like a very good old-style 2000 USD tube TV, with a little bobbing and shimmering. Pics #1 and #6...

    @Porni thx, I will look into this also. so far, I have seen DVD sources react totally different on yadif. e.g. if they have these horizontal extra black edges above white edges, then they allow pre-blending and will look better. the issue is about how the digital camera creates a fake...

    thx for taking a look, but the message is somewhat different. convolution is extremely powerful, and with the pre-blending the yadif performs much better than it is known for, and results are definitely in a higher class than the average DVD transcode in the gravure blogs, except a well-tuned...

    I can contribute an update. My technique is useful for very "difficult" ISOs, which means those where you find only crappy re-encodes, but easily the ISO itself. So obviously, some contributors upload the ISO because one-click-encoding did not produce a nice result. QTGMC may still be better...

    if avisynth works on a mac, then any customization is possible. QTGMC is just a script, that manages a number of object files that hold the actual filter code. QTGMC does so much of search, interpolation, and AI pattern replacement, that the outcome is practically a different product with...
