1985-01-18 - Rio De Janeiro [Chief Mouse restoration]

I dare to call this one a restoration instead of a simple clean-up as I usually do. Why is that? Here you will see. Before you download the video please watch this (on youtube below) or download here a sample so I can avoid making screenshots (video shows it better anyway) - [url=https://mega.co.nz/#!WN020AQS!4ArhzvP7J7DB1hnZYkFIkjA2JQ6iZ2lwg8lnNgZhoHQ]https://mega.co.nz/#!WN020AQS!4ArhzvP7J7DB1hnZYkFIkjA2JQ6iZ2lwg8lnNgZhoHQ[/url] * Some time ago on some other thread I uploaded a compare sample of this already but it is outdated as it looks much worse than it does at the end * Something to note - 1) Why not a DVD? - I hate the outdated MPEG-2 compression which makes you to render stuff with about 9000 bitrate and it still looks worse than encoded with H.264 2500-3500 bitrate. So there's waste of bandwidth for me. Also I don't want to do authoring and make menus because once I do I want to make it look cool and interactive sort of with After Effects animation. That takes way too much time. 2) Why 640x480? - well, it's smaller file size that way and there is no considerable detail or pixels lost because as we know the source is shitty VHS which originally is even smaller resolution than 640x480. If there's anything you want to know feel free to ask :-) All I can say is that it was pain in ass but at the end it turned out rather well in my opinion.

No, that's just a hobby :) I like messing around with videos and trying out some new things.
