Not to steal views, but the 4k enhanced version is crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU

There's actually an 8k version out as well although the interpolation is a bit funky in some places: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

  I see the YouTube link, I see it is grayed out, I know that I am in a thread about Never Gonna Give You Up, and STILL I managed to get myself Rickrolled. This meme will live forever.

Agreed. Crazy. Was this just created from the 720 version??

That is interesting. Some shots appear to have been done with modern equipment, like a new iPhone. In some shots the backgrounds give off that deep dream vibe. Presumably all older media will eventually get updated to whatever contemporary standard exists. For example, the entire series of Saved by the Bell in 4k using the latest AI. I wonder how long until we have 2D media that is turned into fully 3D experiences where you can go into the scenes and watch them from any angle. Or to go further, the characters are aware of your presence and will go off script based on your actions. Seems almost within reach.

  It looks like there is an increase of depth of field, which might make it look more like it is from a phone than cinematic (small sensor = increased depth of field)

    That’s backwards.

      Nope. Circle of confusion is smaller.

    Smaller sensor means less depth of field. Look at what you can do with a medium format camera
    - speakeron 5y ago
      For the same field of view, a smaller sensor requires a decrease in the focal length; this leads to a greater depth of field. Moving to a medium-format camera will give less depth of field (and a large-format camera even less). Different sensor sizes using the same focal length will give the same depth of field, but the field of view will vary. This explains it nicely: https://fstoppers.com/education/understanding-how-sensor-size-affects-depth-field-312599 https://fstoppers.com/education/understanding-how-sensor-siz...

This video gives me some serious uncanny valley-like vines. It looks like all moving characters have been photoshopped on top of their environment.

Gives me hope that some day we can give the ST:TNG treatment to other 90s Sci-Fi that was unfortunately shot on tape and Video Toaster'd.

  I read an interesting article about problems upsacaling, I think it was, babalon5. One of the issues they had was that while the original film/video was ahead of it’s time, and could be extended to letterbox relatively easily, but all the CG scenes were rendered 4:3. Led to some unfortunate compromises and some scenes weren’t the same.

  Wasn't it remastered and upscaled recently ? The netflix version looks decently good IMHO
  - tbyehl 5y ago
    ST:TNG got a full re-editing from original film and almost all of the CGI was actually re-created. IDK how it comes across on Netflix but the Blu-ray rips on my Plex are incredible. It wasn't a show I had an urge to watch again but I did it just to nerd out on the editing work. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Remaster#Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Remaster#Star_Trek:_The...
