I am making an extended unaltered HD version of the Star Wars Trilogy and need help to upscale the deleted scenes from the Blu-ray and other sources (behind the scenes footage etc.) How do I do this? The cheaper (or freer) the better.
PS. I understand technology lingo but am still considered new at this so nothing too complicated.

If it was cheap and easy, everybody would be doing it.
The problem is, there is no perfect upscaling technique, as it implies to create something that is not there!
Said so, there are some methods better than others, but to obtain good results you have to study them... if you have a lot of patience and time to dedicate to video editing, my advice is AviSynth; if you have less time and patience, try VirtualDub (and VirtualDubMod too)
They are both free, and have many filters; between them there are many upscaling ones; my preferred software is still Avisynth, though; in particular, there are many more upscaling filters to choose!
Sadly my projects are lost due to an HDD crash… 😦 | [Fundamental Collection] thread | blog.spoRv.com | fan preservation forum: fanres.com
