Paradise (1982) - upscale

Post by --[X³]-- »   0 likes

Hi there!
It's not a request for the movie but a request for an upload support system (preferable MEGA) I could borrow (with the owner supervision of course)
I'm currently AI upscaling the movie (from the PAL DVD 4:3 prog version).

Here is a sample (this website re encoded an deformed the original sample down at 720p).
https://staging.streamable.com/iz892n

EDIT : https://staging.streamable.com/z04m4e ----> STREAM, more likely so ...
EDIT 2 : https://we.tl/t-8bObc9V1z2 ---> DDL, no re encoding, real end product quality!
EEDIT 3 : https://fromsmash.com/nsfz6_4aDg-dt ---> another DDL (zipped), those if can't access the content from the previous link.

My goal :
- From : DVD/PAL/4:3 (720x576)/25fps.
- To : Ai 1440*1152@50fps (double initial resolution with frame interpolation).

for those wondering why i'm working on the 4:3 version and not the 16:9 ... well ... the 16:9 DVD version is just a frame cutout from the 4:3 DVD with interlacing.

Hi, and welcome to FLM I moved your post to a different forum, because it's not a movie request.

The sample looks nice, but please don't do it with 50 fps. It looks so unnatural, almost AI created.

For my taste, it's much too clean. Without any natural film grain. Just my two cents...

Thanks for the message and yeah ... it's not a request and I couldn't find a proper forum suited for that situation. Ok for the original 25fps and the grain I guess, but then i probably need to work differently since the color rework and the final compression goes with the frame interpolation. I'll deal with that condition in due time.

Here .... let's call it a "more realistic" way to AI upscale some 80's movie ...

https://staging.streamable.com/z04m4e

Like so the entire movie should be around 5.6gb (the website is still fucking up result, I added some grain effect, enough to be called 80's like grain but the 720p re encoding erased the result).

I know nothing about AI upscaling so I will not comment on that. However,

You do not need to borrow someone else's account. You can create your own free MEGA account with 20Gb of storage.

[*]Sign up for a free anonymous email account at tuta.com: https://tuta.com/blog/tutanota-is-now-tuta
[*]Use that email account to sign up for a free anonymous 20Gb account at MEGA. That is the ONLY purpose for the email account here.
[*]DO NOT use your real identity for either one. If you need more storage space, repeat the process with different accounts.
Spoiler:

If you object that the sites say you SHOULD NOT create more than one account, then OH PLEASE, just exactly what letter-of-the-law purposes does one suppose these sites are FOR? That is all just legalese to cover their own public liability.
Good luck with your project!

thx, i'm already using free/anon emails accounts ...
Well, a few years ago i remember mega free accounts were "limited" ... and a sub accounts were what i was looking for.
Thx for the message and check again the orignal post, i just added a different sample.

Could you experiment with movies that were never released on DVD or also had improvements so the quality is the same.?

I can try.
We can start by looking at the best quality we can find and then we'll see what i can do with it. The best the source is the better the end result will be.
