Hi
I'm trying to upscale 4:3 interlaced DVD's using Topzas AI Video. VEAI can turn video into TIFF images but I lose the black bars giving me a resolution of 1440x1080. Also it doubles the framerate from 25 to 50. I would like to author these DVD's to Blu-ray
How do I drop the framerate and add the black bars so that I meet Blu-ray compatibility?
Could you recommend some software?
I've tried experimenting with StaxRip, QTGMC and FFmpeg with limited success.
My options seem to be:
1280x720 at 50fps
1920x1080 at 50fps interlaced
1920x1080 at 25fps
Thanks

You forgot what you already have - 720x576 25i:

If you absolutely want to upscale the general procedure is something like
- bob-deinterlace
- crop the borders
- rescale and add borders as needed for blu-ray frame size
- re-interlace in case of 1920x1080i25
- encode (with blu-ray compliant parameters)
- author as Blu-ray and burn the disc
Basic tools are Avisynth, x264 and tsMuxeR
You could also import your DVD in BD Rebuilder which automates the process.Last edited by Sharc; 7th Mar 2021 at 02:31.

... or you could save yourself a lot of time and just watch the DVD. It will look just the same.

Hi
I've tried AviSynth+ with limited success.
I tried FFmpeg with this code but was told it was not Blu-ray compatibility
ffmpeg -r 50..00 -f image1 -s 1440x1080 -i %06d.tiff -vcdec libx264 crf 10 -pix_fmt yuv420p
This is the link I'm using as a reference

This should be simple I dont understand why it is not.
Upscale 4:3, adjust framerate, author to blu ray. This is really deppressing. I was looking forward to upscaling my obsolete DVD's. A distraction during lockdown.
I don't understand how to make this happen. What does BD Rebuilder do? Does it add borders? Change framrates. Is tsMuxer the same?
What about other software like davinci resolve, DVD Architect Studio or TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6?
I've had some luck with VirtualDub2,
Thank for any help -
As I already mentioned, your DVD is already Blu-Ray compliant. In addition, as johnmeyer mentioned, it won't look any better at all upscaled to hi-def. As an exercise to see if you can do it, it might be a decent project. But don't fool yourself into thinking it's going to look any better upscaled and then made Blu-Ray compatible.
What does BD Rebuilder do?Last edited by manono; 7th Mar 2021 at 19:42.

I've seen what VEAI can do to DVD's. The AI upscaling is immpressive. I'm not expecting miracles just a less blurry experience. All I need is a little help.
Thanks -
You may want to collect some ideas about upscaling and VEAI from here:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/399360-so-where-s-all-the-Topaz-Video-Enhance-AI-discussion
And yes, BD Rebuilder produces Blu-ray compliant output file structures and Blu-ray compliant discs (if this is what you really want) from DVD footage and adds borders as necessary etc., but it is not a "video enhancer". Still, be prepared for a learning curve.Last edited by Sharc; 8th Mar 2021 at 02:09.

If one uses Topaz to upscale the footage, it would then (most likely) have to be re-encoded an additional
time to make it Blu-Ray compatible. Or is this erroneous?
Can Topaz open Avisynth scripts? If not, create a simple script to de-interlace/detelecine, resize and addborders.
Encode to a lossless intermediate in Virtualdub (I've been using FFV1 in 8-bit,4:2:0 mode)
Then encode this in Topaz
Here's a simple Avisynth script to do the upscale (instead of Topaz), with the pillar boxing added
Code:mpeg2source("C:\Users\davex\Desktop\avs_test\DVD-test_pal_test-43.d2v",cpu2="ooooxx") awarpsharp2(depth=2).sharpen(0.2)#. NNEDI3_rpow2(rfactor=2,cshift="spline36resize",fwidth=960,fheight=720) addborders(160,0,160,0)

My apologies - I am obviously newer to this than I thought. Hopefully I will learn to upscale more efficiently and keep my gob shut until I know what I am talking about

Yes, lift ya game, Mark. Incompetence will not be tolerated!

^^ Mark.
The reply, and others, recognises the requirement of set standards. What 'works' for you will inevitably not work for others. So we stick to the accepted.
Remember that the actual topic refers to blu ray compatability. What may 'work for you' in some random scenario will confuse the sh*t out of others who are here to learn -
That may be so, DB83, but there's no need to be rude about it.
-
Yeah really DB83.. you should have said "confuse the F€ck out of others"
For f€ck's sake!
