Look my friend @davexnet, I have some guesses (but if you notice, it's not all musicians, I only detected one):
1. The musician was not wearing makeup, which makes his skin glow.
2. The light artifacts on the nose, on the side, appear in the shadow of it, if you notice it in the original.
3. Perhaps the combination of the two mentioned above made the AI algorithm get lost and want to reproduce something that didn't exist.

Friend @Selur it is a reasonable time to obtain better quality than software costing almost US$400, so it is worth every penny to produce a final product with all your expertise.
I will be very happy when I have a similar configuration to be able to work on my Uscaling here in Brazil.
It's a shame that some software only uses NVIDIA hardware to operate, anyway, I even have an NVIDIA media player, the SHIELD TV 4K, but from 2017, and I know that there are more current models of this media player that have built-in upscaling that generates excellent output quality, in real time, without you having to resort to manual upscaling.

For anyone interested, I released a 4K version of Yanni's show, on rutracker (https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6058539).
As I mentioned previously, the 4K version did not generate the artifacts on the musician's nose, and I believe the result was satisfactory.
I sincerely thank you all, especially my friend @Selur, for your help here on the forum, may God always bless you for your altruism and selflessness in helping everyone here.

P.S. I always prefer the FullHD versions, because my DUNE SOLO LITE 4K media player doesn't play these settings well in my setup, but as I also have an NVIDIA SHIELD TV 4K, I run it, smooth and without choking, but the DUNE is still mine most used media player. -
Friend @Selur, is there any way I can use CodeFormer for video?
I don't know how to use it, I saw on the website that it only exists for Images, or am I mistaken?
As you did there, I wanted to do a test here, using CodeFormer for video and then insert the result with the faces corrected for Topaz Video AI v.4.0.5.

I used CodeFormer through vs-codeformer (https://github.com/HolyWu/vs-codeformer) it still works on a per-frame basis, but on a whole video.

So my friend @Selur, I confess that I just want to get the original 480i video, and use CodeFormer to arrange the faces, because structures and backgrounds, Topaz Video AI v.4.0.5, does a good job when Upscaling to 1080p and/or 4K, but I confess that I didn't understand how to use it, there are a lot of commands, and I got completely lost here; because my idea is to better the faces with Codeformer without touching the background and then applying this result in Topaz, is this possible?
I don't know what the output result of CodeFormer is for a video, I saw that it has the option on the website, where you upload a photo, there is something like Rescaling_Factor (up to 4), which seems to double the size of the image, and so I ask, Would the result for video be an Interlaced video or a Progressive video?
I don't want to process the video itself, just improve the faces and then do an Upscaling in Topaz, is this possible? Did you understand my question?
Codeformer doesn't have a user guide explaining how to use it, I mean, how could a layman use it and then I got really lost :/.

Why am I getting this error, is it because I don't have an NVIDIA card to handle CUDA?

Well, as we live in a democracy, "I think", I will disagree with some opinions, although I respect them and defend each point of view, I prefer to always keep the original, but I have no doubt that I prefer a thousand times to watch this show with Upscaling by Topaz, on my 50" Samsung TU8000 TV, than on the original DVD in 480i, but hey, this is my opinion, and since I keep the original, I don't see myself ruining anything.
Anyway, dead king, deposed king, this is democracy, that's why many hate it, but I, on the other hand, love freedom, and I will always defend it, if everything were the same, as some think they want, life would be much more boring than who are wanting to make it.
