FFVII DVD Resolution in 1997

[KnifeTheSky77]

They look better than the originals to me... uploaded in 2012. How did we miss this, c'mon guys lol

I actually found and bought that DVD a couple of months back for $50, and yeah it's really not that big of a deal, not to mention the videos seem to have been captured on tape - strong reds bleed out and there's a little interference here and there, like the kind you used to see on tapes. Still better than the originals but there's so much missing.

What a find. These aren't in great shape, but they have a lot of potential for cleaning up.

Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous that they are interlaced too...  I mean they are better than the originals, but that ain't saying much.  The other issue is that because of the ones missing, any project that uses the higher res ones will have a mismatch.  Some in higher res, some in low.

And now I summon Phoenix! *Wuuushh*!!! Topic revived. 

Someone has uploaded the 'HighRes-DVD Movies' on youtube. Not sure if they are such a big improvement.

I see a decent improvement there actually.

In fact they were already reviewed and 'released' by Shademp on the lifestream in better quality compared to the UTube ones.
Review here <--Note:external link.
I've been using the sources for reference, because there's a lot more detail in those CG's.
I was under NDA untill they were released
Even the original PSX movies do have a lot more detail compared to the so called upscaled SE releases.

This is what I'm curently using for Junbin3...

I've just had a good look at them, and some may be useful to mod with.  But it's still a disappointment, and there is an annoying green tint.

Just having a quick squiz at them, it seems like it might give more room for improvement with some filters and upscaling? Not sure...
