Very good for an user-friendly semi-automated app. But no comparison, or look at similar programs.

Look at what you can do with Avisynth, that is free-software:

For now, there is only one gpu-acelerated (by open-gl, not cuda, so even your ATI 9800 can run it) filter for avisynth, but certanly more will come as OpenCL arives.

And there is many advanced ways to blow-up resolution, not only their technology. Again, look at the video, and see the POWER of avisynth! ^_^

re "2x resolution" it's still interpolation even if it's using adjacent frames :)

I'm curious to wonder how a quad-core (software render) compares with a dual-core and a CUDA-equipped graphics card. The software seems multithreaded (it heavily loads both cores of a Core2Duo), so I think this would make for an interesting comparison.

But what about handling interlaced video?!?!

They make a lot of bold quality claims but it is not readily apparent from their website whether they properly handle interlaced video. Namely that they perform advanced de-interlace (motion/vector adaptive, etc.), process the 60fps result and then re-interlace.

The software is useless for old camcorder video without this. Anyone know how well they handle interlaced video?

(Oh, and it is also useless if you can not set it to force an assumed TFF or BFF interlace on 30 fps AVI files.)

Um, all that CUDA acceleration is great, but above and beyond that, that vReveal software is sweeeet! That software just shot straight to the very top of my "want to buy" list. I'll let my CPU do the crunching for now, though. Maybe in the future my Radeon will be able to accelerate it.

Are there any alternatives for Radeon owners?

Enhance 224 to 176. Enhance, stop. Move in, stop. Pull out, track right, stop. Center in, pull back. Stop. Track 45 right. Stop. Center and stop. Enhance 34 to 36. Pan right and pull back. Stop. Enhance 34 to 46. Pull back. Wait a minute, go right, stop. Enhance 57 to 19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Give me a hard copy right there.

Looks good but they can save the auto-contrast for the masses, I don't like my colors messed with.

But can you really beat the laws of (optical) physics? If you only have 4 pixels you can't seriously believe that you can reconstruct the whole face out of those?

Thanks for the review, i liked reading about it, hope we will get more cuda apps soon.
