Updated to Video Enhance AI 1.2.0
Now the program either gets stuck when Initializing or crashes with error immediately. I have the error logs. I Updated GPU drivers as directed to 445.75 Release 03/23/2020. I restart system as directed.
I tried the software over 10 times all with the same result.
I updated my Ryzen 3700x with RTX 2060 KO system.
This system worked (with above mentioned issues) with the v1.1.1
Unfortunately there is no link to the previous version to reinstall the working version.
I have the log file but this isnāt the support.
Others users reported same errors (me included)
They provided a link with the 1.1 installer so we could roll back, you have to uninstall 1.2 and install the older one

Where is the link to 1.2.0? And what is the change log on it? All I see is 1.1.1 on the download page. Thanks!
they didnāt add change logs for this version
The link on download page ( https://topazlabs.s3.amazonaws.com/packages/win/videoenhanceai/VideoEnhanceAI-windows-x64-installer.exe ) is for 1.2, even if itās written 1.1.1 on description
The link for 1.1 installer, when you realize 1.2 is BS, is here:

Iām hoping someone can tell me what I did wrong, I used the command āvideosrcmd.exe āinputVideoPathā -h 1080 -fps 60ā on a source video that was 480p and 30 fps. For some reason the output was 960p and 60 fps butā¦the video didnāt have frames added it was just sped up 2x when was I was looking for was 1080p and 60fps at regular playback speed.
Thank you!
Are you refering to VEAI? I donāt think VEAI has a videosrcmd.exe. If youāre refering to Gigapixel itās another app and you should be asking on itās specific forum. Rather, open a support request and they maybe able to help you.
For Video Ai Enchance the output always MP4 for videos. PNG is for pictures only.
The trial of Video Ai Enchance is so so only. First when you try to upscale SD to HD the video get error like update your driver, restart your computer and reduce the AI Enchance? error error error?
Already have the latest driver. Iām using PC GTX2060 still so slow?
Had to restart my PC many times or the software, sometime works sometimes not. When it works for video like 30mins to convert to HD took like 6hrs to 9hrs.
The processed took too long for just 30min video. If I try to convert to 4k took even longer and not working. Work half way and gone. File only converted half way (not working). Should fix the file even when it converted half should be-able to play the file and see.
They should fix it it has too many problems and too slow.
Most video converters can convert videos (Movies) over an hour only took like under 1 hour for 1080p.
Thatās v1.2, itās BS and full of errors, get 1.1.
Youāre not converting a video, youāre creating detail itās not there through a deep-learning trained algorithm (or the so-called āAIā). Itās hugely resource demanding, itās pretty much the same thing as NVIDIA DLSS (if you have a RTX 2060 you should know whatās that, if you donāt please look into), however VEAI doesnāt use your GPU Tensor Cores, which is the piece that makes it possible to be used in games. It uses only the CUDA Cores (or Compute Units) as it works in FP32 so thatās why your GPU is so slow at it. Tensor Cores are made to work with FP16/Int8/Int4 not FP32 so they are just as idle as when you play a game without DLSS.

Wow look at that, got all my software crossedā¦ that solved it!
Video Ai So its been 48 Hours. Doing a 2 hour video basically. ETA is about 2 days adding the minutes. 44 to 53 frames a second. So 48 hours later its still at the intro. I understand why it takes a long time. But does anyone know if there is any way to help it work faster? System wise? Besides buying a super computer. At this rate it will be 3 months before its done.
You have to have a recent 10xx, 16xx, or 20xx series Nvidia graphics card or it will attempt to do the work on the CPU which is so slow its basically useless.
Using Artemis-HQ, it takes me 4:19 to upscale 2-hour SD movie to FHD 1080p (Danny Kaye, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty). Before I upgraded to GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, it would have taken over a month, just using the iGPU (CPU). Keep in mind, this is running on high-end PC with i9-9900K with 32 gigs of ram. So far, Iāve done some of the 1960ās Family Affair episodes, but the MPI Home Video transfers to DVD are awful. The end result was OK, but I stopped all of my projects, pending additional VEAI improvements.

Iām doing it with my i7-7700 (32Gb Ram) (Cpu only, without using the iGpu 
) (i have a VGA monitor plugged on my GT640 Nvidia, unfortunatly as my motherboard has no VGA output, so the iGpu is not used unfortunatly). depending of the source, for a Full HD , itās a 5 frames / seconds to 25 frames per seconds.
i use only the CG preset, as it give the best result for me. so while waiting better days, no other choice , the computer run all days.
It appears the latest release has removed the ability to process interlaced footage. While interlaced footage didnāt look great with the x200 and x400 enhance option, it did make a difference when using the x100 denoise/deblock option and I was using it for some tv shows. Why remove the ability to deal with a file type that is virtually universal to all DVDs? Iām just glad I copied the previous version to a different location, so could roll back to a more usable version. Quite frankly the artimis nonsense is unnecessarily complicated. The options before were concise and simple. Not a useful update. Dissapointed
It no longer accepts interlaced files, so if the file you try is interlaced you will get the error message. The previous version did allow interlaced files.
Read the Fact ! itās because they are working on a separate deinterlace software, or maybe a proper implentation ! they also said that this update had many problems and they are working on a fix.
" Can I process interlaced video?
Not directly. If your video is interlaced, please deinterlace it first before using Video Enhance AI to upscaling it. We are working on a deinterlacer AI at this moment, stay tuned."
To deinterlace, HandBrake is a good option, and itās free.
Deinterlacing by nature loses image quality and when simply cleaning up SD footage it isnāt always necessary. Removing the ability to process interlaced footage just adds one more process that has to be done before the long process of using VEAI. It is a step backwards.
That has nothing to do with the ability to actually process interlaced footage. This update REMOVES a useful feature.
