You found another competitor to DLSS!

It'll be really awesome once this tech is built into TVs. Watch whatever you want and it'll always look great. Play old video games like you remember them.

Testing some more, it's fantastic for animation. But none of the settings look particularly good for live action.

It recreated a lot of things incredibly well, like it recreated a brick wall. If it did everything that well, it would be fantastic. But a lot of it looks oddly poor.

On the animation front, Video2x seems to be pretty comparable to Topaz. But it's way behind on the live action side.

I might end up having to get Topaz after all.

$300 for the current version but yours forever? That's not too bad if it saves you a lot of time.

Alright, after the pain in the dog that was X-men the Animated Series DVD, I think I found the best de-interlacer. Free too.

Not video file manipulation per say but I built my own video server

German Night is tomorrow and I wanted to play random German music on my tv without youtube ads. So I built a from scratch web app to do that on my samsung tv. Can jump from video to video seamlessly. (ok I just asked chatgpt to make it for me, but I still had to guide it a lot)

This thread needs a better name, but I have no idea what to call it.

This is bizarrely the best and the worst time to get into physical media.

A lot of consolidation, and a dying industry.

Yet there's been a ton of great stuff. House looks to be getting a blu-ray release. Monk got one, Psych, Suits, Columbo, Succession.

4k releases for Friends, Seinfeld.

I just wish movies were cheaper. I think it used to be $15 if you bought blurays on the first week. Now I only really see them for $30 and why would I pay that unless I loved the movie?

For example if Disney+ and Hulu didn't exist and Alien Romulus was $20 (I know inflation exists) I'd buy it for sure. Would love to own every Alien movie.
