is that still just the raw GOUT upscaled or have you now moved onto upscaling the V3?
fwiw, the best practice for upscaling is to first upscale the raw data (preferably even larger than your final target), then perform all cleanup/tweak scripts on the overly large video, and then shrink the video down to your target size.
The reasoning is:
- Blow up the raw data (even "extra" blow it up); this preserves as much of the raw data as possible. For example, if the raw data is 480, and your final target is 1080, then you might over blow it up from 480 to 2160 (twice the final target res) in this step.
- Perform clean-up and tweaks on the blown up video; this performs the data improvement on the overly blown up video
- Shrink back down to your target resolution (shrink from 2160 to 1080). This final shrink will increase the sharpness and hide any artifacts that might have been produced by the tweaks in step 2.
The erroneous procedure would be:
- First run the clean up and tweaks on the raw data. This will reduce the raw data (lose some light and dark detail, etc)
- Then blow up the tweaked video to the final target. This will blow up any artifacts that were intoduced by the clean up and tweaks in Step 1. Plus it will be blowing up degraded data, since some of the raw data was destroyed in Step 1.
This all sounds good but most of us don't really know what to mess with on g-force's script to do this, he said everything on it works together with each other the way it is, I just looked it over and really don't know where to even start to add those kind of settings, but I would definitely try it out if I did though, so right now I am doing everything afterwords.
I pretty much realized though that I should probably stick with 720p, this will still look better than the V3 DVD, plus I want to add ALL audio files to it that are on the V3 DVD, but with the Blu you will have a selection of Dolby Digital or LPCM.
