Hay there. I have a question.

Will the methods that you are using on the GOUT

work on other SD Materials?

Like old TV shows shot on SD video?

Or old 90s cartoons that are only mastered in SD?

Or on old Doctor who kinescop scans?

Somehow I doubt something shot on SD video, or a kinescope scan of any kind (remember that kinoscopes are basically a film camera pointed at a specialized tv monitor, at best having whatever the native resolution of the tv is) will have much improvement via super resolution. As for old 90s cartoons that are only mastered in SD, it depends on whether the editing pipeline had film involved or if it went straight from drawings to tape. And as for Doctor Who kinescopes, note that Doctor Who, as well as most BBC shows from that time period, used a mixture of tape for studio scenes and film for outdoor scenes. Considering that All of the Hartnell and the earlier half of the Troughton serials were recorded in LD resolution, even if they used filmed material, I doubt you'd be able to get detail from a LD source. As for the later half of Troughton as well as the Pertwee serials where the best source is kinescope, you might be able to use super resolution on the filmed scenes, assuming they don't exist separately (most likely in the case of Pertwee).

I wanted to post this earlier, but the outage happened. At least I got it off my chest xD.
