Is there any evidence for this? Showing bad 480p DVD rips alongside 1080p upresed video isn't really a fair comparison -- comparing it to a real TV upscaler's output would be fairer. And honestly, even the unfair comparsion doesn't show a whole lot of benefits to me.

Its not upscaling. Its taking what it knows about other non ST pictures and creating new texture and information.

[cwyers]

Right, but how much does it actually add over a decent upscaler?

[basch]

are you saying this specific program, or the idea in theory?

I'd be surprised to find a group more obsessed with specifics of what is and isn't quality, it would be the anime community.

There are entire catalogue of overlay comparisons of different releases, encodings etc. [0].

Interpolation looks bad enough without completely sandbagging its color correction. Why resort to that kind of nonsense?

[basch]

Are you asking why did I change the exposure? Because I did, I was playing around. It was the comparison I had uploaded, I have a copy without on a different computer.

Wow! That's a bigger difference than I expected.
