Sorry for the delay...
Harmy did a very good job with his Despecialized version, and I think he's one of the best restorer around here, so after downloading Harmy's test clip, I decided to use the same footage for my test clip, so I could compare myself my version and an HD version not from GOUT.
The video is 1280x544 (in a 1280x720 frame); I used AVC @ 1400kbps, roughly the same Harmy used with his clip; the audio is AC3 5.1 @ 448kbps, italian, converted from the original Dolby Surround VHS HiFi; subtitles not yet set.
I make a script for noise reduction and sharpening (maybe too much?) but not color correction (also no gamma, contrast and brightness touched).
here you are the test clip:
Youtube (bad conversion, just for preview)
Download (155MB - will be online only for 7 days!)
Any advice is welcome!
