I do believe it is an interesting experiment in itself to see what the maximum quality is in terms of detail that can be squeezed from those three imperfect bonus DVDs. In my view this is the closest you can get to a HD original trilogy, outside of the massive achievement of Harmy's despecialized edition. It will drastically improve the quality of the GOUT though with a frame detail somewhere between standard definition and true HD. Of course you will never be able to obtain the true HD source material.

I tried it on a short sample from the GOUT and it did an OK job - it might make it look better on your HDTV than the built in hardware upscalers, but it's never going to create an instant OT Bluray version that I'd be happy with. Here's a more down to earth explanation of the super resolution theory:

Yes it is rather scientific, but that's what us scientists do -). Maybe you can apply a super whizzy algorithm thingy to the PT to make them better movies. Sounds very scientific.and slightly magical. :-DĪuthor kane1138 Time 1 10:22 AM Post link Sounds wonderful! I will surely follow your progress here. The NTSC versions of the 2006 Star Wars bonus DVDs aka the GOUT.įor more information about super resolution: The films will have the GOUT color palette, and will stay true to it’s source, the master tapes that spawned the Star Wars Trilogy - The Definitive Collection laserdiscs, and of course the GOUT DVDs themselves. Next to having significantly increased detail, the upscales will have significantly less grain and aliasing. Rather than simply upscaling the frames, a super resolution algorithm uses neighbouring frames to reconstruct a high definition frame.Ĭreate a 1080p high definition anamorphic version of the GOUT in the form of one 25 GB mkv file for each film. Since I have a background in image analysis and enhancement, I thought I would have a go at enhancing the GOUT to high definition using a super resolution algorithm.
