Hi there
I’m just curious about members thoughts on all the other video upscaling products available, such as DVDFab’s UnifFab Video Enlarger AI. Have they tried them out, and has anyone found a way to use any in unison with Topaz to get the best of both worlds?
Last time I looked at other products like avclabs, etc all they were were frontends that used the free BSRGAN, copied the Topaz UI and charged for it and did a crap job compared to Topaz.
It’s been quite a while that I shortly tested DVDFabs upscaling solution but was not overly impressed with it.
Since that’s over a year ago and looking at the quite fast development of those AI products over this time, things might of course look different now.
Still, at that time, Topaz was markedly superior.
Just playing with DVDFab now and I think they use Real-Esrgan.
Currently is taking 2 hours to process a 30 second clip (1920 x 1080 No Upscale) at 0.14 FPS compared to Topaz Iris at 8.5 FPS
I’ll let it finish to see what the result looks like just for giggles.
Edit:
After testing the software the OP suggested I have no clue why anyone would want to use it in unison, it’s results are total garbage and is 99% slower.
Oh and it’s riddled with advertising spam.
