ZaneFlare,
Thank you for your message!
Actually, PaNUp ™ is not “more or less rotoscoping”. It basically merges two sources of poor resolution to get a new source with a better resolution.
This topic (written by the creator of the word “PaNUp”, Mister ^…^ aka spOrv, let us render to Caesar what is Caesar’s) explains the purpose of this technique: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/PaNup-or-how-to-upscale-PAL-NTSC-capture-and-live-quite-happy/id/15928
But I’ll also do some rotoscoping to “repair” some scenes (replace aliens by humans in the Senate scene, remove the bridge in the Naboo by night scene) and to reconstruct some scenes (arrival on Coruscant).
