Thats my city, but not the whole city looking liked this I promise
Still looking for video upscalers, doesn't need to be free but do not want a subscription based tool. Now if you look it's all AI based upscalers, online where you have to buy tokens and desktop apps which cost 30+ euro per month.
How did people upscale video's before AI was a thing lol. I just got several video's from my past which come from the .. 480p era.. so you know these are OLD and irreplaceable, and the quality basicly is yea.. 480p lol. I would love to at least try to upscale them to 720p… See More
or 1080p. I'm not looking for a miracle 480p to 4K lol.
Anyone know of tools from the past which might still linger around on the web?
I'm at least happy I did backup those VHS recordings to a digital format so I have them on my PC and on a external drive. These are just too precious to lose, not from a monetary value standpoint but emotional value.
My PC now finally done. New soundcard came in, installed it.
Well, technically my PC is 99% done. I need to change out the stock rear fan for an RGB fan, its just a pain in the rear end to navigate those cables, so I will do that when its time for a clean.
I actually don't use the motherboard's audio, I use HDMI out which uses the D/A in the Display, and for music production I use both the Yamaha AG03 and the Yamaha MODX+ that go to a Yamaha MG06 mixer to a pair of JBL Studio monitors.

Ordered an openbox Creative Soundblaster AE-5 at Amazon.
It arrived today, box was missing things which was not mentioned in the listing, it only was listed as "damaged box" because they put the adresslabel of the person or persons that previously ordered it on it, when peeling off it created damage.
But, it's a box, in this case I would not be mad about it, but missing items in the box, regardless if I use them or not, is a nono.
So I just jumped back on Amazon, now ordered an openbox Soundblaster… See More
AE-7, hope this time I'm more lucky. it's not wise to spend money now with a fridge that needs to be paid. But the muffled onboard audio.. .when you are used to better it's really hard to step down. It does sound better then a few generations ago but it doesn't even come near the crisp quality of a discrete soundcard.
Too bad you had this experience, the AE-5 is actually a wonderful sound card I have it, but honestly, my sister mostly uses it since my headset with Dolby Atmos for Headphones just sounds so much better than the AE-5, even with a dedicated 5.1 surround PC speakers system, probably due to the fact they're pretty badly positioned, but I work with what I have, not what I don't.
I do hope your AE-7 order come in okay, I'm sure it's even better than the AE-5, Hope the price was cheaper than a new unopened… See More
one because those cost a small fortune in relation to sound hardware, otherwise I'd have one myself.

My fridge died yesterday, dangit... this LG fridge was amazing for about 15 years.
Since more and more of the stuff here is Samsung smart based (phone, 2 TV's, washingmachine, Q800B soundbar) I also went for a simple fridge with this, so I went for the Samsung RB34C670DSA/EF WiFi , someone PLEASE stop with these ridiculous names lol... 344 liter in total, 240 cooling, 114 freezer.
it costs MSRP 649 but usually it is a little bit less at stores, but at one store it was actually on sale for 529, turned… See More
in a 1000 loyaltypoints at that store for a 20 Euro discount... so 509. Which is basicly around the pricepoint of a budget fridge.
Still a heap of cash I have to find the next 30 days, but I think I'll be okay. I did order a new soundcard a few days ago which will be here on Tuesday, I might send that one back because that's 125 Euro's I can put towards the fridge.
I got a hole lot of meat that defrosted so guess I'm on a carnivore diet today.
Decisions decisions.
i suddenly miss our GE Fridge. It was 20 yrs old when it went missing.

That sucks. My family had a fridge that is older than I am (33+ years) but still alive and kicking today according to its current owner. I wonder if there's a modern fridge out there that can last that long.
I'm ambivalent about smart tech these days. I used to be excited for smart cars and appliances as a kid, but all the data collection and subscriptions have made me wary of them.

You can try as John Skelley said, using DaVinci Resolve, maybe the results will be satisfactory, in my experience, upscale with DaVinci gives less than adequate results.
Other than that, I only ever used a tool called Topaz video Ai, it is subscription based nowadays though so I stayed with older versions, which you need to download illegally at this point, but they do work wonders, I upscaled 480p DVD videos to 1080p with great results with it in the past.

Try loading in Davinci Resolve and output it at the higher size.
