Upscaling process:

— AviSynth – Telecide + Crop:
1. script.avs
FFmpegSource2(“video”)
Telecide(guide=0,post=0,show=false,debug=false)
Crop(6, 68, -4, -64)
2. ffmpeg -i “script.avs” -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv444p -crf 0 “video”

— Photoshop – Gaussian Blur (Radius: 0.5 Pixels) [0014-0029;1795-1852;1869-1884;1966-1984;2070-2079;2133-2171;2242-2256;2282-2297;3890-3899;3922-3931;3958-3968;3988-4001]
