I don't think I can post a link here (without getting banned). If you search hard enough, you'll find the movie. Like the DS9 article, I also saw the best results with the Gaia-CG model. Still, the increase in detail is impressive. The final version is an honest 1116x576p. tiff images and fixed 949 frames with Photoshop. I used all the tricks I know: IVTC, QTGMC and got it to 706x346p before I fed it to Topaz VEAI. I wanted to get the RTX 3080 but it seems mostly unavailable at this point so I settled for a GTX 1080 Ti.Īfter 3 weeks of testing, I created a better version of one of my most favorite movies ever, originally released at 480i letterboxed with a poor film to DVD transfer that appears to have had no digital cleaning. Immediately I could see even at 6 sec/frame it was creating detail like magic.Ī week later I spent $200 and bought the program, plus $200 for Windows 10 Pro Retail and another $800 in hardware to build a minimal gaming machine (I don't game), to give it the GPU it needed (about 10 times faster than CPU). I found it on usenet and began testing on my little NUC Win10 box (I hate 10, I use XP for most things).

I would find it hard to believe that I know about something the rest of the world doesn't know.Ī month ago I read this about Topaz Video Enhance AI:
