interlacing, weird colortones, halos on edges, shaking camera, text burned in, letterboxes. The early DVDs have so many issues that I need to fix. It's much easier to *work* with the late 2000s DVD-material. But unfortunately that's currently not an option for me anyway because I had a new 10 TB HDD die recently. Seems overkill, but I don't fully understand color-spaces and bit-precision. Artemis MQ for late 2000s DVD digitally recorded, sharper video, better colors.Artemis LQ for late 90s/early+mid 2000s DVD recorded analog, blurry/soft video, washed out colors.that is for typical DVD material in 480p.Ĭoncerning the AIs I will use the following now based on the source material: You will get better quality output this way (VEAI h.264 output is not very good).Īfter more testing I can confidently say that upscaling upscaling first and then frame doubling always gives me higher quality results. I would also recommend outputting to uncompressed TIFF files (16 bit if you have the space) then rebuilding the files yourself in VirtualDub2 or similar. The only thing holding most people back from extensive testing is how long it takes to process, but with your 3090s you don't need to worry about it. Try different configurations/models and the compare to see what you like the look of best.Īrtemis MQ is perfectly useable for a good quality standard definition source, but it's worth testing out a few. Your best bet is to do several tests on a piece of sample footage (one fairly short scene for example). From experience, different source material reacts differently.

Some people might argue one way or the other with upscaling or frame doubling first. To start, I'd strongly recommend using Flowframes for interpolation/frame doubling: - it's much better than the VEAI built in Chronos model.
