    The only one that exites me is DS9:Redefined. They’re capturing and stacking the LaserDisc releases and the results are significantly cleaner and more detailed than the DVD releases. They had video examples that looked amazing, but Vimeo has now sadly removed them (were up just a couple months ago - probably Paramount abusing copyright strike).

    They have reportedly uploaded all of the raw LaserDisc rips for DS9 and Voyager to Archive.org but have not yet made that link public. When they do, I expect a number of very high quality upscale projects will appear.

      Oh that’s awesome! That’s what I was looking for, thanks.

      I should get involved… or at least get them from Avisynth to Vapoursynth, so everything’s done in F32 and they get access to newer filters. Vapoursynth, being Python, is also great for hooking into all sorts of CV/PyTorch processing libraries, so it could be a single replicable pipe for laserdisc rip > upscale.
