I decided to try my hand at creating an upscale. I used mench's 480p rip, and upscaled each frame to double the size using [waifu2x](https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan). I was initially planning to use [video2x](https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x) to do it automatically, but since DVD-format video is so funky I had to specify the FPS and aspect ratio in the ffmpeg commands, which meant I had to do everything manually.
Overall I'm fairly happy with how this upscale turned out. It doesn't look *that* much better than the raw, but it's definitely a noticeable improvement.
It is just a waste of efforts. The graphic card and the display determines the outcome.Upscaling a shit, still shit. If the original is watchable with 200MiB, why we need 800MiB for the same.....

1) The original source I used was actually 1.6 GiB, not 200 MiB, since it wasn't transcoded. So it's actually smaller now, funnily enough.
2) Often, people's graphics card and display determines how good a video looks. But when the video is 480p, the limiting factor is definitely the video quality and not the display or graphics card (unless your display is less than 480p, but in that case I can't help you).
They should all be attached, but let me just check
EDIT: The fonts are all there, but the names got messed up. RIP, guess it's time for a v2.
