improve video resolution

[Combine-VersusS-]

Is there a possibility of an update or a way to improve the quality of the videos? I have some old family videos on my PC, I open them with the VLC player, if it increases the frames, but I would like to know if the quality could be improved.

I'm afraid not, in general video improvement/correction techniques don't benefit a game's visuals. As such, none of the scaling algorithms included are geared towards that goal.

Though if i had to use an LS upscaling algorithm right now, for the purpose of improving video quality, i would use Anime4k.

You might want to look into MPC-HC/MPC-BE in conjunction with madVR.

MadVR is waaay out of date nowadays, and Anime4k is very subjective. MPV with upscalers like Ravu AR easily surpasses the quality of MadVR, but that's another discussion.

I think OP will need to look into AI Remastering. I'm not very familiar with it however, so can't recommend what is best sorry. I will say though just be cautious of any "free" AI converters. Never upload anything personal or confidential.

Worked wonders when i last used, which is admittedly a while ago. But loooots of options.

"If i had to", "i would"

Just checked again and Anime4k is the only algorithm that applies noise-reduction and line-thinning to a degree useful for "improving" the quality of old videos. i.e. Removing noise and making it look like a higher res video by thinning lines. It seems to geometrically correct these lines as well. Pop out a 240/360p video on Youtube and compare if you don't believe me.
