Anime4K upscaling algorithm

>not downscaling the TV resolution instead of upscaling the anime resolution
plebs

>First, someone find an upscaling algorithm that can go 480p --> 720p and look better
That is a common problem, even if the BD release is shit most of the time it's still better than a good encode of a DVD release cause the mpeg2 codec was just so bad.

Isn't Cherryboyz Moozzy2 now?

Same thing. Unless you have a bunch of TVs that exactly match the pixel count that you want to watch.

The thought that these people are still active is depressing.

>a bunch of TVs
one is enough for me to be honest

>downscaling a Plasma tv, read the best way to watch anime
Here

ive grown up on 240p m8, if i see an anime in 1080 its to sharp

>ive grown up on 240p m8
Lmao look at this newfag who didn't grow up watching anime on television in the 80s.

They're not only active but they also receive a lot of praise for their releases.

galaxy brain is watching 480p DVD rips in full screen on an HDTV.

I refuse to watch anime if it's not 144p

Where the hell do you all learn the ins and outs of this encoding business, I've been lurking for years and the closest I've gotten was somebody showing how they fixed halo artifacts in some BD release.

Spoiler: they never did.

And people say soul/soulless is a stupid meme.

doom9

who else here watches animes on an old amiga monitor for the extra original comfy feeling?

>destroying grain
FUCK
YOU

this should be a literal crime

If I could source enough PAL copies of all the old shit I want to watch I'd go that route, but alas, all available copies on the internet are NTSC

Reading the ffmpeg docs is a good start.

By using the encoders themselves? Personally taught myself years ago by reading through blogs and forums like doom9 just because I want to save some space on my drive. The same goes for batch scripts, avs, audio encoders and aegisub, the whole lot. Yup, all because of anime. Even so, I barely scratched the surface since I am just the user, not the devs.

Believe it or not, anime is always the first adopters for new compression technology. Furthermore, one of the default animation setting in x264 actually refers to anime, as in japanese animation, not cartoons. Go figure.

>muh authentic experience

People with anime profile avatars are shown to have higher IQs.

They also tend to be the better programmers in my experience.

t. programmer

I wouldn't expect less for a discussion only about upscaling.
Cheers.

>Personally taught myself years ago by reading through blogs and forums
How difficult would it be to find these old blogs and forums nowadays? A lot of the search power on google, which in the past would have been able to connect an enthusiast with all these niche topics better than other engines, has been neutered horrendously. That and I assume many of them are defunct and only to be found on unsearchable archives.

The sand at the bottom looks shit. It looks like someone just made a gradient.

You've never seen sand IRL, have you?
People like you seriously need to learn how to leave the basement from time to time.

I guess it sort of looks like scans from a magazine.

if you're a programmer, name ten of the most ingenious ways of using html used in the past ten years

Oh wow, not only does it bloat up the file size even more, now you can see the QUALITY much more clearly.

Get the fuck out of Yea Forums, quality is paramount here.
>real time upscaling
>bloat up the file size
Maybe refrain from posting next time if you have no idea what you're talking about.

Can't really deduce accurately desu. On one side, I might agree with you since I have great colleagues and friends watching anime seasonally. On the other, it might be due to confirmation bias since this field attracts "nerdy" people in general, like you and I.

Just read the docs like one of the user suggested if blogs and forums are dead. Official docs will always be your primary resource in learning what they do. If all of these fail, do what I did and start tinkering. I think I learnt more by trying and failing to achieve something and come back to make it work again or finding out why this doesn't work. If you only care about the best quality possible, just set the CRF value to 12 and let it run. If you are like me (and others) trying to get the best quality in the smallest file size possible, you gonna start experimenting a lot with the settings and tools (x264, avs) to assist you in achieving it.

Most of the fansubbers don't really know any of the setting besides the default. I think people still encode in 5.1 profile mostly because it has a higher number than 4 or 4.1. In 720p anime no less. Or cranking up debanding filters to the eleven, literally killing most of the details and grains. But I digress.

Can't really give you anymore than that since I lost interest (and time) on encoding in general years ago. Also, subjective quality is a thing(you will deal with this alot, grains, colour saturation, sharpness etc.) and you will spend a lot of time trying out settings and comparing (minute, pixel) differences between individual frames. Have fun.

Since when html is programming.

Looks better on the right. Thanks for showing us how great anime could look.

>since I lost interest (and time) on encoding in general years ago
why?

Has anyone tried making one of these algorithms that will actually draw missing animation frames? Like if you were to take an episode of something, remove every and remove every other frame. Has anyone tried training an AI to draw those missing frames?

If by authentic experience you mean not loosing like 40% of the detail by noise reduction, then yeah, i want muh authentic experience

Stale technology. Very time consuming. Will I be spending my free time in watching anime or playing games after working? Or will I be hunting BD raws, encoding, retiming and typesetting Crunchyroll godawful subs, not including testing? I chose the former.

Stop projecting and fuck off, shitter.

>Stale technology.
Stale? I would have thought with things like VR/360 and 4K there would have been something interesting going on in the field.

>what is irony
I'll take it you have legit autism.

>jpeg artifacts
Your "comparison" is now worthless.

>I was only pretending to be retarded

No, it's "irony". Someday you'll understand.

I like it sharp and can ignore some artifacts and detail loss but this is too much. Gotta stick to NGU until waifu2x remasters become a thing or until it become usable real time (in 40 years).

You don't need to preserve the details to understand the point of the comparison. It's not a legit comparison, it's a public shaming of Cherryboyz.

I haven't been in a thread where Daiz had been summoned for literal years. Does that bald jew fuck even still live?

I kind of want to see him again. I bet most people don't even know who he is on Yea Forums anymore.

He has a twitter account

Stale as in promising smallest file sizes while having the best quality possible. Back then, people were showcasing fractal compression, that google compression algorithm claimed to be the successor to x264 (and x265) by being faster and smaller, and finally, x265. Most of them are DOA. Will I be interested in 4K or 8K (upscaled) tech when they just crank up the video resolution numbers just to sell more smart TVs? No.

Poorfags without personal space pretend lying with tablet/laptop is comfy and it may look so from the side but anyone who tried it knows there's nothing comfy about not being able to move an inch, having to hold the damn thing, and dealing with always shaking screen if you put it on your chest. Also eyestrain and neck pain appearing within a hour because it's a terrible position in general.

>Saw him last when Nyaa went down.
It's just a coincidence, okay? He just happened to be here when it happened, it's not like I was trying my hardest to cover it up.

I saw him last year. Just wait for a new visual tech push and he'll be back trying to guide the side he likes, and urge the cartel to trash the side he doesn't.

What does this picture trying to convey?

This shit takes me back to fun times. What's the MOST UPDATED version?

>Stale as in promising smallest file sizes while having the best quality possible.
True. We're gonna hit a limit on that possibly until quantum computing becomes a thing although I don't think that's how that tech actually works.

But I'm not projecting.... Is it- Could it be that you are projecting onto me the act of projection itself? If that were the case then dare I say, Quit projecting?

This is some WIFOM shit.

Ew, oversaturated crap. They should just leave the video file alone.
