Video Quality for Video Files For Warzone 2100

[cybersphinx]

Since the Openbittorrent tracker seems down at the moment, I've made new torrents with more trackers. If those seeding could use the new torrents (or add http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce http://www.h33t.com:3310/announce http://tracker.torrentbox.com:2710/announce to their torrents) that would be very nice.

...and up they go!

Erm, if this is so important, why not just upload it to Gna or sf? o_O

Maybe the Guide. If Kamaze complains about the bandwidth costs, I can move it over to my own server, but right now I don't have a copy (0 seeds 0 peers).

I registered a new project on SourceForge and I'm uploading the lossless AVIs right now. I think it will take while, untill it's done...

The project can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/warzone2100-csp

I'm willing to manage the project for a looong time, if needed. So... well, just wait 'till it's up!

BTW: I had 5 seeds and 6 peers right now for the 2.2.2 vids...

Umm... that's kind of overboard... but okay. :/

Yeah, I eventually found seeds; I was probably one of your five seeds.

Looks like all links to that gna site which included the original rpl files is not accessible...

Can they be uploaded i.e. to a WZ git repo like we have with sequences?

This would enable easier use to update any part of the process. from start to finish:
Take orig RPL files -> Use rpl2avi converter -> (outputs to AVIs uncompressed) -> re-encode AVIs with ffmpeg etc, -> new sequences.

The rpl2avi converter in itself is quite a hack from reading the details and source code, so could even start with fixing that up firstly.

This task/process will be re-iterated many times, for things like upscaling projects or moving into a new codec backend ( i.e. VP9 or AV1 )

Seems it might be hard to get hold of those HD 3D animation source files, even if everybody wants them but that would be the ideal.

Here are some upscales I made for both 720p60 and 1080p60 (60 fps)
If you like it I will do more of them even though some are too low quality to be enlarged at all.

Since I haven't received any feedback on my videos for half a year now I will be clearing my Google Drive today.

If you want feedback, tell about your work in wz's discord server. Forums are unpopular stuff now.

[Tzeentch]

Yeah though I'm not a fan of it, Discord is the way now.

I can take a look if you like Mac. I've been working with another experienced contributor where we're getting this handled along with some other improvements using "newer" codecs with more appropriate bit-rates. Truth has to be said that any and all quality / upscale changes will be very limited. This is what we're dealing with from the source:

yuvj420p ( so 480P res. )
bt470bg with a res of 320x224 at 25 fps.

Therefore, if someone was keen the best course of action would be to make brand new videos based on the originals in native 1080p, 2K or 4K etc.
