There are going to be a couple changes in the method I use. Instead of interpolating frames at all, The final method will take all the progressive frames that I have obtained and then duplicate the necessary ones. This in fact turns out to be the best choice quality wise as you don't see any after images/ghosting. Just to give an idea the progressive frames are currently at ~18FPS. So I'm guessing that the original animation was done at this frame-rate so I will be leaving the progressive frames as is and duplicating the ones necessary to push it up to 29.9760 FPS like on DVDs and other distributed anime.
If anyone has any other ideas then please mention it in the comments.
PS: please don't recommend to me software which does video interpolation as I have tried many and they all are good but didn't give a satisfactory result.
Here are some interpolation I have tried:
MSU Frame Rate Convertor,
Twixtor,
Linear interpolation,
Motion Perfect,
and some others that I don't remember.
Sounds like a good change to be able to achieve 10 more FPS :]
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I can't really help you or give you an idea about any kind of software that's able to assist you in any sort of way >: sorry
I hope everything's going out good on this project and I hope your projects at PS3hax.net are bombing as well :)
Cheers and thanks.
LOL it must seem like forever waiting for the releases, I have paused development on my program at PS3Hax.net just because of its complexity. I have been working on another project that might help many other people although it is illegal. I have created a simple program to bypass the timer and 30 day trial of a program called Video Enhancer. I will be releasing it shortly. If you want more information or would like to purchase the original more fully featured version of Video Enhancer you can visit there website at

Well I can't complain because I think you're the only one trying to have these releases in higher quality :D so I'll just be patient baring in mind you have other stuff on your shoulders as well.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd expect your projects in PS3"hax".net to be illegal as well LOL and how do you guys/hackers (if I can call you that) bypass that sort of protection, like the 30 day trials?
And yeah I realize if you told me the full method you'd have to kill me after hahaha :p
Thanks again and I'll be here waiting for the releases :3 hugs
The 30 day trials are usually timed internally or through the registry or even other methods. To crack the trial, one can remove the trial, skip the trial, freeze the trial or even force a registration to activate the full software. Video Enhancer uses such a 30 day trial. I have tried to bypass/skip the trial using resource editors. This is probably one of the easiest methods to edit/alter a program. It didn't work, the program just crashes (I didn't know why). Next I tried a More technical approach using disassembler programs and a more powerful console hex editor. I tricked the program to take a phony registration but the program still crashed, after some thinking and research I figured out that it had a checksum check. These checksum checks makes sure the program is in its original form and if modifications are detected they make the program nonfunctional. My only option left that I know of (I'm not that skilled a cracker yet) was to freeze the trial. I could have made my program do this manually but why do that when there is already a tool that does what I need out on the internet. I downloaded the tool and semi-integrated into my program. Ok now my program can freeze the trial but the timer splash screen still shows up (its a screen where it count down before the continue button appear so you can use the actual program). I hate that splash screen so I made a replacement GUI for video enhancer which bypasses the timer by telling Video Enhancer what to do directly through commands. My program can only command Video Enhancer to use its main feature which is Super Resolution, so plugin support that is available in the real Video Enhancer is not present in my program. Fortunately my program can still run the original Video Enhancer with the frozen trial as an option, but you will have to put up with the 30 second timer but this allows you to add plugins. The only flaw I find in the method I used was the the duration and time left clocks are now broken, but its not important as the progress bar still works.
ReplyDeleteThe PS3 security is many levels harder, I myself did not crack such a daunting security, but like I said I am not that good a cracker and even less a hacker but there are many people in the world and as you can see someone broke the security. I myself am not able to come up with such a method but when I read how it was done I completely understood the concept.
ReplyDeleteAnd no I believe in spreading knowledge so I wouldn't kill anyone over such things. If one is willing to learn then heck let the knowledge go round. That is why in some of my posts I ask for any advice or ideas from anyone. That is why I am on PS3Hax.net helping people. I posted a couple tutorials on how to do things there and it makes me happy that some will find it useful. Heck My blog so far has only been anime and programs I made but If anyone has questions on something else they are willing to ask, I will be willing to help any way I can if I am able. Heck you can even ask about the entire process of enhancing anime. I have researched 3+ years on the matter and will share in a heartbeat. So yeah from the blogs title it says TizzyT-Archive, archive meaning anything and everything in one place. So yeah if you have any questions about anything I will love to help any way I can.
ReplyDeleteMight I also ask "prd0x" how did you come across my blog? LOL.
ReplyDeleteGod, to me that sounds like a lot of theorical options, and a lot of knowledge being used in order to bypass some security.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the guys who bypassed the PS3 one, have been around the subject for a lot of time, because even if you did understand the concept around it, you need some sort of experience to apply it no?
And yeah, you remind me of one guy that has like an underground website "http://versatile1.wordpress.com/" (he has another one with like more hacker stuff that I don't recall) and he has just the same view as you, that knowledge should be shared :]
Well I came across you because I was desperatly looking for an enhanced version of Golden Boy, and you were the lone sole with something about it (thank god).
You said you've researched for 3+ years, that's about enhancing anime right? How long you've been, like in the cracker/hacker community trying to get more into the concept of things.
If I might ask of course :3
The whole hacking thing is still new to me but cracking software I started about last year. I'm currently in school for networking and network security and well honestly school doesn't teach you how to hack, although they do teach you enough to understand hacking concepts with a quick google. The people who hacked the ps3 originally found a flaw in the networking side of the ps3. A later hacker by the name of George Hots (GeoHot) used hardware methods and required the system to be disassembled, soldering and finally implement the hack he came up with, If you didn't know this is the same person who first jailbreak the Iphone when he was 17 years old. Cracking software, I started last year and still know very little compared to other crackers, but unlike a lot of them I am a one man, groups like "Fighting for Fun", "Skidrow", "Reloaded", "Paradox" release amazing cracks and they implement methods that I don't even know how to do yet. So yeah just understanding the concept will not fully allow you to implement it if you don't know EXACTLY what to do. No one is teaching me to crack software, only the internet, the internet is a gold mine of knowledge and that's where I go to learn a lot of my stuff. The internet can teach you things that schools aren't allowed to.
ReplyDeleteOh and just checked out that site :http://versatile1.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteIt really does show he likes to share info, but some of the post he posted although good and useful are somewhat old news to the long time techy lol. When we (techys) talk to another techy believe it or not after a while we can actually somewhat measure and guess the other techy's level of knowledge in a techy sense. From looking at his tutorials and going through his site, don't get me wrong but he doesn't seem like a person who would even know how to break into a WEP encryption. I might be wrong and hes like a super computer genius but from another techy quick evaluation I would rank him as a fairly tech knowledgeable gamer. Wow let me get off my high horse I sound kind of cocky asshole right now, LOL (I don't like being cocky). If anything disregard anything I just said as it don't mean jack because I'm not master chief of computers or anything, not even close and in reality I don't know the guy, and he is same like me, sharing info and I like that alot. :)
