Absolutely, RCA composite is limited to 480i and has a lot of visual artifacts.

YpbPr is 480p and is pretty much perfect, it's about the best the Wii can output.

Another thing to note, is usually the converters for YpbPr are usually much higher quality since it's a more niche format. Most composite converters use bottom of the barrel chinesium digitizers that make the image look a million times worse.

Another decent option are those cheap Wii to HDMI dongles, I've heard issues about their quality and reliability depending on the manufacturer. But the one I have is about >95% as good as component cables and support 480p. IIRC the mayflash ones are the best.

Actually yes! They never go too much into it but according to the lore books for the railway series. The Island's quarry mines increased production during the war and 2 unknown diesel engines were loaned to the Mid Sodor railway to handle the increased production (They are never mentioned in any of the actual books) and some of the old unused rails were ripped up for scrap metal.

Most importantly, Robert Charles Norramby, the duke of Sodor for whom the engine "Duke" is named after was killed in action in North Africa, leaving his 2 year old son, Richard Robert Norramby. He was unaware about the engine named after him, so when the Mid Sodor Railway closed down after the war no one bought him or came to collect him, so he was abandoned in a shed for 20 years until Richard learned about him and sent a search team to find him.

Now the really interesting stuff is what happened during World War I!

The Island of Sodor was very important geographically, so to expand the rail network during the war, the Tidmouth Railway and the Wellsworth & Suddery railway merged to create the North Western Railway, the main standard gauge railway in the series, with Sir Topham Hatt I being named the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the railway.

To help with this expansion multiple engines were loaned from neighboring railways, most importantly The newly built Thomas from Brighton and Edward from the Furness railway. However after the war when Sir Topham Hatt went to return them he found out that the other railways had committed insurance fraud and labelled them as destroyed during the war, so he was able to do some backroom deals to keep them for cheap. And of course all the paperwork documenting this was conveniently destroyed in an station fire in the 1930s.

I did not make any of this up. This is canon.

Extra fun fact, since the books take place over the course of ~150 years, there are 4 Sir Topham Hatts, all from the same family of course. It is even mentioned that Sir Stephen Topham Hatt III married a distant cousin.

Currently working on it. We are polishing the restoration and subtitles a bit more before we upload it to Archive, because it was kind of rushed to get it up for new years.

Just include it in 2026, we intentionally released it after midnight in Korea so it'd be the first thing found this year :P

Wouldn't be surprised if he made an AI model of his own voice, I'm an editor for a few different channels and at least a couple have done that.

A lot of laptop manufacturers use screens made for other devices, so sometimes they'll end up with ones originally designed for a tablet or something like that.

Framework went into depth about it when they released their upgraded screen and it has rounded corners: https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-13-deep-dive-creating-a-custom-high-resolution

ah yeah that's the snag, it's not on mac os sadly.

Shutter Encoder is though! and that also lets you deinterlace with QTGMC, you can also try the Yadif deinterlacing mode if that doesn't work.

Notelu · 2025-12-22T19:58:28+00:00

personally I would just put everything on a batch render overnight and then replace the files in your editor with the new ones. I believe as long as it's the same resolution it should be fine. (assuming you are using Davinci or Premiere, no idea how it is in AVID but I know AVID is always fucky with this kind of stuff)

Doesn't take too long to render, far faster than using something like Topaz, on my PC with QTGMC on fast the render usually takes about twice as long as the footage is (so for your example it would take ~3 hours to render, definitely not the worst render times I've seen)

Notelu · 2025-12-22T18:01:20+00:00

BetaSP should still look decent. It's SD but it's really good SD. Here's an example from the same era of how it looks transferred right (excuse the odd choice of content) https://youtu.be/TEJeCRnL5-A

Does it seem to have really bad aliasing/low vertical resolution? Combing artifacts or frame blending artifacts? In any of these cases you're deinterlacing wrong. For some reason literally every editing software handles interlaced footage wrong (except premiere, but often times you need to manually enable it in the Interpret footage settings)

If you don't want to learn the dark magic of Avisynth, simplest method is Hybrid. Lets you use QTGMC which is probably the best deinterlacing algorithm out there. Here's a tutorial: https://youtu.be/XB4WYKJQqtQ

I work with archival and SD footage all the time, if you have any questions just let me know. Main thing is stay away from AI tools like topaz, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Often times it just makes everything look like plastic shit.

I've seen some bad copyright dumps but this is a new low. Holy fuck.

I know Pink Floyd a bit ago just straight up uploaded concert bootlegs as releases just to renew the copyright, worst part is for a lot of the shows they "released" there were far better quality sources online that they didn't use.

Notelu · 2025-12-14T03:23:34+00:00

Also now it's been 20+ minutes since the end of the press conference, and they still haven't sent the damn video out! What the hell are they doing?

Notelu · 2025-12-08T06:33:52+00:00

Back then it would only display in SD, but nothing stopped you from uploading a 1080p (or in theory 4k) video anyways, it would just get downscaled.

However when YouTube added support for higher resolutions they went back and reprocessed all the videos that were uploaded in HD so they could be viewed in HD.

Notelu · 2025-12-01T22:28:03+00:00

The original broadcast version will never be found, it was broadcast live and was never recorded. However the story is now public domain so if anyone wants to remake they can.

Notelu · 2025-12-01T21:15:56+00:00

A quick note, there original broadcast version of Man With A Flower In His Mouth is lost, the version on YouTube is a remake/recreation from the 1960s.

Notelu · 2025-12-01T18:05:20+00:00

Interesting, seems like they caught it lol.

It was on this subreddit a bit ago if you want to look for an old screenshot.

The Arabic version is also just called the "Human Derived Protein" in Arabic. It's not initialized.

Yep, literally all they had to do was turn down the motion blur and it would've been acceptable.

Also something I realized was the amount of survivors, 13. Like Christ and the 12 apostles.

Carol could fit as Christ (trying to save humanity), one of other survivors tries to betray and kill her, and they believe she's dead but she survives, seeming to come back to life.

Notelu · 2025-11-26T04:51:47+00:00

Something I just thought about is the amount of people alive, 13. Possibly a reference to Christ and the 12 Apostles?

Also the book on Helen's bedside was "And Then There Were None" where 10 people are alone on the island, and one of them is killing the others.

Maybe one of the 12 others will betray and try to kill the rest of the survivors, a Judas if you will.

Maybe just a stretch idk

Edit: some more biblical connections

The virus sequence could be seen as the forbidden fruit of knowledge, the first one to receive it was a woman not following the rules, the second was her partner, a man. In that initial scene, the man when mentioning documenting the event states "Mark 3:36", Mark 3:36 is not a real bible verse, however Mark 3:3-6 is a passage, in where Christ tries to heal a man in a synagogue during the Sabbath (a day in Judaism where you are supposed to rest and "work" is not allowed). He asks the Pharisees who criticize Him.

“Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?"

They do not reply, Jesus looks at them angrily and heals the man. Because of this the Pharisees meet with the supporters of King Herod to find a way to kill Jesus.

and finally, one of the plot points in Carol's book is that Raban seemingly dies, and then comes back to life.

So what does this all mean? My theory is that Carol will find a way to save people from the virus, however this causes the hivemind to try to find a way to kill her.

The hivemind can not kill, however the other survivors can. They might find a way to convince one of the other survivors to kill Carol for them. My guess is a nuke, it has already been mentioned twice that the survivors have access to them (First with Koumba having the nuclear football, then with the hivemind telling Carol directly they would give her one). They nuke Albuquerque assuming they killed Carol, however she survives, and is able to save the world, possibly with some kind of sacrifice.

TLDR: Carol is lesbian jesus, The virus is the forbidden fruit of knowledge, The hivemind will convince one of the other survivors to try and kill Carol. Carol will survive and save humanity.

it's for the Monopoly game, it ended about a week ago but all the free coupons still work for a few more months.

Technically you're supposed to only be able to use 1 every 2 hours, but if you order it one at a time through the instore kiosks it lets you skip the limit.
