He is right though. While there has been some detail recovered, everything looks plasticized and speckled throughout are oversharpening artifacts. Imo, this would look better if the grain was not removed(or at least added back in during the last steps of processing) and any sharpening involved was toned down to the point where ringing is not visible.

EDIT: Also, the aliasing is actually worse in some shots than before.

This is why a laserdisc source should be added to the mix, one that is free of these problems in the first place. That way we can have the best of both worlds.

That is a tall order but one of us might pull it off some day:).

Laserdiscs often have ringing due to the analog nature of decoding the signal before digitization so the gout is probably a better candidate for sharpening than most any laserdisc preservation that I've ever seen. I have a feeling that the aliasing problem would still be somehwhat present as well because this super-resolution is probably using motion compensation that breaks things down into blocks and then copies those blocks within the thresholds over onto the frame and things don't always line up perfectly.

EDIT: Btw, I'm not saying the idea of super-resolution is crap. I think that more moderate settings would probably produce better results.
