It works, but not well. Yes, you can upscale the video, but it doesn't look better, just bigger and somehow the upscaled file is half the size than the original. I upscaled a 480p video that was 2gb in size and the 720p upscaled video is under 1gb.... do I need to cange a setting?

I forgot to mention,
This process will be very taxing on your CPU.
I recommend closing all other programs and not running anything else during the up-scaling process.
Also DON'T pause the process.
Pausing the process may cause an audio sync issue.

not REALLY up scaling though, just resizing and re-encoding.

Im watching it on my 2k monitor and honestly i dont see much of a difference with your side by side. If its using alot of power consumption for something with little noticability, its really not worth it. Also with browsers it only works with ms edge and chrome.. two of the worse browsers that collect data mining. No thanks.

After I saved it after completion, Vlc or windows media player would not even open it. Vlc crashed trying to open it

how to do this with just watching a video file live, instead of having to convert it?
i know other players can do this with nvidia gpu's

Tried this and it did work...sorta. Problem is, the upscaled video is pixelated as hell. Any idea how to fix that?

It worked, but the upscaled video has no audio. How do I fix that?

I barely see any difference. Thanks for the video though

I thought this Super Resolution upscaling thing was a real-time upscaler, like an encoder..how disappointing.
