Hello, I am a novice when it comes to upscaling videos. However, I am highly technical. I can’t remember what software I used many years ago to capture the analog footage to convert it to digital. If I remember right, I ran it through a mini-DV recorder first. I am using the trial version of Topa…

Are Hi8 similar in quality to VHS? I have tried enhancing VHS before and had similar results. Nothing looked much better. I put that project on hold until I figured out more things. It’s been a year now. The best results I have gotten so far are: Deinterlace with QTGMC in Hybrid. (If you feel li…

Very true. Whether it is 35mm, 16mm, 9.5mm, standard 8mm or super 8mm, digitally over scanning the footage at the correct native running speed is essential. Once this is done the film can be restored & enhanced using Topaz Labs’ Video AI & other apps’.
