Any upscaling experts here?

I am looking into releasing upscaled and remastered versions of my original releases.
Is there anyone here who has done this and released this kind of material online and would be willing to cooperate in this project?

Hi babyhum, I Wouldn’t say I’m any sort of expert but would’nt mind helping if I can.
I’ve been using ffmpeg which isn’t really a true upscale but rather a resizing and clean up, I’ve used it on Adywan’s TESB:R SD dvd he did and his ANH:R SD and also Harmy’s Re-Specialized and the results have been really good.
I also got REAL-video-henacher which is a free tool that is really good but requires a lot of time, If there’s anything I can do to help please just ask 😄

The scripts I use for ffmpeg are

Professional SD-1080:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf “yadif=1,hqdn3d=1.5:1.5:6:6,deblock=filter=strong:alpha=1:beta=1,scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos,unsharp=5:5:0.8:3:3:0.4” -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 17 -c:a copy output_1080p.mp4

Super Sampling Upscale ( this one upscales and cleans the video to 4k and then downscales to 1080 for a clean look ):

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "
yadif=1,
hqdn3d=1.5:1.5:6:6,
deblock=filter=strong:alpha=1:beta=1,
scale=3840:2160:flags=lanczos,
unsharp=7:7:1.0:3:3:0.5,
scale=1920:1080:flags=lanczos
" -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -preset slow -c:a copy output_1080p_super.mp4

Obviously with these ffmpeg scripts the orginal video quality is a big factor in the output but honestly if there is anything I can do to help please let me know 😃
