Had some trouble with this one, so it’s a bit late and out of place in line, but here it is…
Episode 12 - Janine’s Genie
double post. mods please delete.
I had a chance to see these on my 4k monitor. I don’t think the A.I. is good enough yet. Still images look good but look odd when there’s movement.
There a scene from a particular episode that most stands out with this?
Unfortunately these are just simple upscales, not restorations. The AI enhances what is already there, and adds the extra digital information to bring the resolution and bitrate up.
The temperature changes/pink scenes are what’s really driving me nuts, but they’re present on the original DVDs and there’s not much I can do about that.
Episode 14 - Knock, Knock
Die now… pay later!
Episode 15 - Station Identification
Never really paid much attention before as it is one of the more lackluster episodes IMO, but, despite the odd renditions of the character’s eyes in some scenes, this episode has some really clean animation in it.
Episode 16 - Sea Fright
The clean, well-drawn animation scaled up really well on this one. I added film grain this time to try and bring back some of that muddy look from the original transfers, while still keeping it somewhat 4K-crisp. Do you guys think digital noise would be better than grain? I have the option to add one or the other, or both if desired.
Episode 17 - The Spirit of Aunt Lois
Episode 18 - Cry Uncle
Lots of temperature changes in this one, unfortunately. Many of the scenes are cold, and there are a few warm ones as well. Maybe the cold tone matches Uncle Cyrus’ demeanor? Man that guy is depressing lol.
Episode 19 - Adventures in Slime and Space
Episode 20 - Venkman’s Ghost Repellers
This is amazing, Kind.
Thanks so much.
glad you’re enjoying, amigo. For some reason, Venkman’s Ghost Repellers is still not processed up to 4K(or even HD for that matter). Maybe the bitrate is too high lol.
I’ve noticed that too. Some take a couple hours to fully process to HD/4K
It’s going on 7 hours at this point lol. Never had one take more than 2 before. Trippy.
Episode 21 - The Old College Spirit
Welp, so much for that.
Guess it’s ok for other users to upload RGB episodes, but of course when Vinny does it…
:sigh:
Bummer, but that’s YouTube in a nutshell.
Yeah I’m usually 100% against piracy but you aren’t just uploading episodes available for purchase elsewhere, you’re improving them. It’s not like you can just buy 4K episodes of RGB.
This is the stuff that really bothers me with Sony. Extreme Ghostbusters isn’t available commercial free legally to purchase anywhere(outside of some out of print DVDS from overseas). They uploaded episodes to YouTube a couple years ago…and then took em down. Fine ok. At least then let other people upload them, it’s not like they are trying to monetize that series.
