@DrDre: I noted you are using a different source now... it has a little bit more details on top, bottom and right sides, while in the left side it has a small black borders, and it seems to have more details, too...

May you use this small clip with your SR v3? Frame 11 or 12 will do! It's taken from the PAL DVD - I know NTSC DVD is better, but I have not it now...

You got great ideas!

What's about taking some old Italian "peplums" and mix-em-up with The Gladiator? Maybe I'll be able to delete some blue jeans here and there!

Just watching the Star Trek 2 cap now and realized that the reason I thought these were looking a little mediocre and washed out was because they are encoded in the wrong color space making all blacks look gray including the borders.

Another reason to start restoration projects... (^^,)

I mean the so-called "european" version:

Can't remember... is ep. IV the extended version?

I have all the original 6 Sky captures 

That's great!!!

According to mediainfo data posted by Jetrell Fo, it seems quality is not that bad, to be an HDTV broadcast... may you add some comment on their overall video quality?

I happen to enjoy them like dvdmike does.  The frame rate needs to be fixed for NTSC but other than that ..... I have everything up to Insurrection from Sky UK.  

While it's quite easy to denoise and/or "de-speckle" and improves somehow an "old looking" HDTV video, it's impossible to recover details from a DNR'ed video...

Think of them at the correct frame rate, with laserdisc audio tracks...

Forgot to select PNG in caps-a-holic comparison... (**_)

Based solely on the two screenshot, the new BD doesn't seem too bad at all!

But don't forget 2012 as well!

I did a quick comparison, using screenshots from the Scream Factory BD found here (thanks for the link, dvdmike!) and the HDTV found here:

colors are similar, plus the BD has more details on all sides...

I'll give it a try... maybe it works with, let's say, three frames before and two after... you could also try to do a horizontal and/or vertical inverse! I discovered so many things doing these kind of crazy tests... (^^,)

Is there any adjustment for substituting missing frames in one direction with additional frames (if available) in the other direction? That would nicely help shot changes and other frames near a change.

Just reverse the video, apply the SuperResolution filter, reverse again, and merge the two results (normal, and reversed-reversed), or, if you are really patient, replace the eventual frames before/after the scene change, accordingly to which is the best - but you must be totally crazy to do this by hand! (^^,) ...but if you can find an automated way, though...

There is some cut&paste&replace work to do, but... yeah! (^^,)

I phoned Doctor Who, and he said he could take me back in time to retrieve the deleted material, but first I should ask Morgan if he could remember when and where he "lost" that... and I doubt he will remember!

Back to Interstellar: I thought also to mashup some Oblivion shots, what do you think?

What's the concept behind MagicUp?

...secret recipe... (^^,)

_,,,^..^,,,_, could you make Mr. Wilder a smaller filesize please?

The limit is 100k for an animated sig. The dimensions are ok though.

Sorry... (.._)

Done!

No problems to share them; the fact is, quality is quite rough, plus is 2:1 and so it has cropped sides, plus it's only in Italian... do you want it "raw" or with some filters applied?

I recorded the three episodes on DVD-RW on RAI3 (or RAITRE) and they are (still) not available online; if there is some interest, I could upload them somewhere!

GKA and RAI3 too! Reivax should be the same...

OK, so now we have for '97SE these broadcast (all SD):

• GKAR
• TB
• Reivax
• Flunk
• RAI3

while there are a LOT of different 2004SE HDTV versions... MPEG2 and AVC, 23.976, 29,97, 25fps, 1920x1080, 1920x1088 - maybe 1440x1080? - it will be great to sort them out somehow, even if it could be difficult... I have four different EP IV versions!

About '97 SE: AFAIK, there is GKAR, and at least another one is mine, the RAI version, sadly cropped (as it showed at around 2:1) and recorded with a DVD recorder connecte to a DTT decoder through a SCART connector... not very good quality - in comparison to today standards - but at the time it was a non-plus-ultra setup! ...at least I have a quite good audio track in Italian!

Indeed, I'm pretty sure there were no '97 HDTV broadcasts; about the others, I'm aware they are all 2004se, but reading some threads (not all, there are too many!) it *seems* there are some more details on HDTV in comparison to BD.
