Upscaling poor quality content? (lemm.ee)

Ahoy, mateys

I've seen some concert footage on YouTube that's been upscaled via "AI", and some of the examples look incredible.

Is it possible to upscale the video content I've acquired? I have a few series that look to have been recorded on VHS tapes crammed with dirt.

Opinions & ideation are welcome. Mostly curious whether it's feasible.

Probably through some software from TopazLabs found on the high seas.

You could try these programs and there's many more you can try with a bit of searching:

You can search "AI video upscaler github"

Yep yep yep, I've previously poked around GitHub and found a variety of projects that sound promising.

Have you yourself tried any of these?

I haven't tried any of these but I did try this anime upscaler some time ago and it was decent but not hugely impressive like upscaling real footage is, at least to me (still impressive though).

Yes, download "Topaz Video" to upscale anything. It works great, Ive used it with old phone videos and very nice. find it in your favorite torrent site
