The easiest approach is to check, how similar the upscaled variant is to the original variant. Which is, what my tests [...]

I have a few boxes around at home, so if i do video-editing i’d like to benefit from that. We can use some avisynth plugins/enhancements to do so. There are two things we might do: a) running filters in parallel b) handing filters to another box (networking). The problem with multiple cores in Linux is [...]

Since I’m working with avisynth I’ve always been impressed about people who came up with convolution stuff, many numbers and I had no idea what they mean. Reading the help pages on avisynth.org didn’t help – For all people who wanted to know how that works, here’s a little guide (thanks to Kuukunen for explaining)

Just some little guide how to get avisynth working in linux using wine.
