The problem is that with the upscale and AI enhancement, a lot of fine details are lost! It is much better to leave the original resolution - in my opinion.

great video! just a question though; if i lower the quality from 22 to 22.5 instead of 23, will it keep more of the quality but still reduce the file size?

@graytechnical5870 4 ай бұрын

Yes it would. You can probably keep it at the default quality and HandBreak will still lower the size because of the different video format.

Being a stickler for absolute best quality, the part where you convert from mkv to a slightly degraded version inside Handbrake is the one part I wonder if I can skip. Can you take the original mkv file into avclabs without downgrading the resolution? And if so, do you know how much (astornomically?) more time is added by using the original and not downgraded mkv file into avclabs? Thanks for the fascinating and informative video!!

@graytechnical5870 6 ай бұрын

Yes you can, but unless you have a top tier graphics card, you will be spending a lot of time with the conversion. I was testing this on a standard 8gb 480 graphics card and it took days compared to hours with handbreak first. But yes, you can absolutely go straight to the AI. The video explains how many hours each took, but if I remember correctly, a 30 minute video took 8 hours vs 4 days. Again, all circumstantial. If you are running a better graphics card then your times will greatly improve.

What’s a good iso playback. I copy my blu-ray into ISO but my VLC won’t play it with menus option. My DVD copy of movies and Tv shows will play with menus option on my VLC.

@graytechnical5870 3 ай бұрын

VLC should play IOS images. You need to mount them like a virtual drive. In VLC Media Player on Windows, choose Media > Open File. You will get a browser-like dialog to choose the most wanted ISO image and then click the “Open” button to play the ISO file immediately.

Hi, how long does it take to upscale an entire DVD movie?

@graytechnical5870 8 ай бұрын

There is not really a definitive answer for that. It depends on your graphics card, the processor, the original scale, the new scale and the video itself. From my testing though, the upscaling went quicker when the AI did not have to change the image size or frames.

(to preface this: i don't know much about computers other than surface level things, I'm so sorry if this question is worded poorly) this may be a strange question but i really need some help; there's this DVD that i own it's the first out of 4 Hand Maid May DVDs and at the beginning of ONLY the first one there's this little puzzle and i need the highest quality image of the background image used in that little puzzle section. I can't find any screen recordings of it online but please believe me it exists, if you have discord i can send screenshots to show what I'm talking about. anyways, once you solve the puzzle you don't need to repeat it unless you reset the DVD. I desperately need this image but whenever i try ripping my DVD it only saves the real menu, and not the little puzzle :[ i thought that maybe i could do what you did in this video and upscale it but it just doesn't save the puzzle menu, everything else gets ripped EXCEPT THIS and it's frustrating. have you dealt with anything like this before? do you know how i could save the puzzle background image? if you don't do you know someone who can help me, please i need this image. also really great video btw!! i was able to understand it, very easy to follow thank you :]

@graytechnical5870 7 ай бұрын

Sorry, we do have a discord, but it is simply so other people will not take our online presence. As far as ripping goes, there are other options out there that might work. MakeMKV releases monthly updates, so I would try that first as I have had the best success out of it. When it comes to selecting what portions of the DVD you want, checkmark everything. That should grab everything off of the disc. Another option that I have used before is Roxio and DVDRipper. Both are kinda old a this point, but do work. A third option would be to play the DVD on VLC (a media viewer for the computer), increase the scale of that section to the highest possible quality, and then record that section of the DVD with the built-in VLC Recorder feature. Not exactly elegant, and also not the best option as it goes off the resolution visible on the monitor, but it IS and option. Hope that helps!

Hi, I’m having serious issues myself trying to figure this out, I have a TON of anime I want to burn to blu-ray but when I burned a few already there still blurry? I have no idea what I’m doing wrong……

@graytechnical5870 5 ай бұрын

Sounds like your burning software possibly putting it at a lower resolution. Ones that I have used are DVDFlick (free) and FreeMake Video Converter (free, but with a crap ton of malware installers you have to watch out for). Those have settings to allow for different quality. The higher quality the less you can cram on the disc.

@@graytechnical5870 the software I’m using is, anymp4 . The file I have for the episode of a anime is a MKV. It’s about 226mb and when I put it into the anymp4 to burn it shows 1920-1080 but then I go test it on my TV is like, blurry persay. It’s not bad bad but it’s enough to annoy me haha. I’ll try the DVDflick so I don’t get a malware. But I am going CRAZY out of my mind with this because I have ALL the anime I want at my hands and can’t watch them in good quality……also, the burner I have is a LG 14x blu ray/16x DVD burner 3d Sata that’s in my pc.

By dropping the quality a fraction before upscaling saved me hours on rendering. The amount I dropped the quality was not noticeable either, even after displaying it on 4k resolution, nor was the finished product compared to not downscaling.
