I have an assortment of low quality original encodes from the 90s (an assortment of thousands of mpeg and flv web videos, think divx and co) that I’ve refrained from reencoding in hopes that some day AI would get there and having the originals would pay off. But looking at all the “originals” in the demo, they’re all super blurry (blurry upscaling, I know, but also trademark h264 low bitrate or high deblocking). It would be ironic if I had to use h264/h265 as a deblocking upscale intermediate step before using something like this someday.
