ffmpeg -r 23.970628 -f image2 -s 1440x1080 -i example%04d.png -i audio.wav -vcodec libx264 -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p -acodec copy final_video.mp4Īll you have to do now is wait for FFmpeg to finish and you will have a nice upscaled video of your favourite old TV show, without having to wait for over 40 years for a proper release form the studio.ĭisclaimer: This post is not meant to encourage any sort of piracy. First of copy it to the location where you exported your upscaled frames you will also need your exported audio file in this folder as well. You can’t really enjoy a show without audio right? Again we turn to the mighty FFmpeg with the following command: ffmpeg -i example.avi -vn -acodec copy audio.wav 4. Exporting the audio from the source video file:Īfter the process is done you also need to extract the audio of your source video file. There is no way to speed it up other than getting a new PC.

Make sure you have the latest drivers so your CUDA or CLI cores can be used to their maximum. Now comes the hard part, for your Graphics card that is. Now since MacGyver was shot in 4:3 that means that my exported frames will be 1440×1080 in size – before you get your panties in a bunch even the official BluRay used this resolution. I only set the wanted height of my new video (1080) and the output folder. To my big surprise and I imagine yours this is the automatic result (even due to the fact that the above image is web-optimized you can still see the plain difference in quality). In my case, I decided to upscale my DVD of MacGyver’s 1st episode of season two. Gigapixel and import a single frame to see how it looks like. Once it’s finished you will find yourself with a folder that will include a huge amount of image files. -hide_banner hides FFmpeg compilation information.Mind you they do take a bit more space than JPG’s would.

As stated above I suggest using PNG’s due to the better quality export. png is the extension of the exported frames.

You could use JPG files if you wanted to but even at full quality jpg files can produce certain artefacts so I would recommend sticking with PNG’s.įirst of extract the FFmpeg and put the ffmpeg.exe file inside the folder where your source video is located. Gigapixel is made for images in mind, we first have to export all the frames from our MacGyver episode to PNG files. Exporting video frames from the source video:

Well, a good thing is, that AI has progressed so much, upscaling video in 2020 (yes only a few days to go) does not necessarily mean bad quality with a bucketload of video artefacts. About a year ago Paramount graced us with a BluRay release of MacGyver’s first season but the others don’t seem to be happening. Much like Stargate SG-1, MacGyver’s first season was shoot on 16mm and then later moved to 35mm, there is a rumour that the edit was done directly to film, and most of the B-roll footage is 3rd party and in most cases in really bad quality (not bad like JAG’s tho).

Richard Dean Anderson apparently has a knack for joining TV shows that shoot in different formats during their airing. There is no secret that I am a huge MacGyver fan – the original one, not so much the current reboot one.
