I have been testing them and it looks great ! Definitely an improvement over the originals.
You have to make sure that the cutscene rebirth mod has higher priority though, to have your denoised cutscenes + the remade one.
It's obvious but can be easy to forget.

I would suggest you show it in Engineering first. Definitely not here, because this is someone else's thread.
To test your work create a folder structure inside DMM: ModName > cutscenes > cs3.avi
Then load ModName in the mod manager.

not seeing it happening, as unlike the shuttle takeoffs, cs3 has been pro-level edited for quite a bit.

Sorry for the necro, I have something to actually contribute so hopefully it's okay.

I find the "nah" so inherently awful and cringe that I decided to do a quick edit to remove it. It sort of looks strange now because it zooms in on goggles only to have him say nothing, but I feel like it's still a bit better having him silently contemplate what to do for a second, and then blasting, rather than giving an extremely cheesy, borderline comical response.

The player character doesn't say a word for the entire game, so I think this is far more fitting than the "nah", as I assume most players already have their own idea of what goggles sounds like. Doom Eternal broke the "the player never speaks" rule, and it was really terrible when they did it too. The rule seems to be either have a talking PC, who then talks in all instances where it makes sense, or keep them completely silent. Having them say a few words in the entire game is really jarring, at least in my opinion. It doesn't help when their only line of dialogue is awful. Had Goggles spoken a lot more in the rest of the game, I honesly don't think the "nah" would have been as jarring or as bad. It would still be bad dialogue, but it wouldn't be so extremely out of place.

In my opinion, almost this entire cutscene is bad (except the last bit). SHODAN's dialogue is pretty cheesy as well, and it makes no sense that the PC who has just spent all this time defeating her would stand there and listen to her monolouging, especially since she should already be "dead" by that point. The last level of the game was entirely about urgency - stop shodan before she transforms reality as we know it. So to then stand there and listen to her, especially since she is the type to always try and scheme her way out of everything, doesn't seem right to me.

I also did an edit where the cutscene starts with him simply shooting her, and removed the monologue completely. Obviously this is VERY different from Vanilla, will feel wrong to many people, and is obviously not-canon, but I still think it somewhat improves the ending, as it is now basically "player shoots SHODAN, calls shuttle, Surprise! SHODAN is in the shuttle!". It is simple and gets the job done without the comical B-grade dialogue, and is more like a typical game ending cutscene. The video starts very abruptly, but it makes more sense when it's in the context of playing immediately after a boss fight.

I am bad with video software, let me know if I messed anything up.

I would be very interested in people's thoughts on these, as I always dread and despise this cutscene in every playthorugh - it cheapens the entire game for me. Unfortunately short of re-creating something specifically in the Dark engine, and getting in Terri to re-voice stuff (which is never going to happen), there's really not much good we can do to this cutscene, so I think gutting it almost entirely is the best option. The last part (after shodan's death) is alright. It's just the monologue and the "nah" that gets to me.

I hate how everybody has completely abandoned bad endings in movies, video games, etc.  It makes it so you can easily guess how a story will wrap itself up.  Why can't the hero ever utterly fail, leaving everything in ruin?  That would be cool. 

naah, it's fine.

a cliché, crazy ending cutscene for a game full of cliché, crazy things.

So we can either get the original low res custscenes or new low res cutscenes with really obvious upscaling artifacts.

Awesome.

Can you post some areas? Always looking to improve my methods.

Ran CS3.avi side-by-side and the improvements are obvious. The only really annoying issues stem from high-contrast areas which either have more pronounced edge-noise (large fonts) or flicker when in motion (small yellow/black hazard stripes on the floor of Tommy's shutle).

Still, this is the first upscaling attempt that I would prefer over the originals in most cases.

Mind posting or pming an image? I'm better at comparing still images

Sometimes you just have to deno a video.

it sounds french in my mind somehow. de-no-a-se.

Took me way too long to figure out what deno-ising is.

Thanks.
I know there isn't much room for improvement, but using a modern codec really helps with the block-o-vision from the originals.

Inspired by: This post on the thief 2 forums, this mod takes the videos in the game, tenderly massages them using murderous positive cyberprocessing to generate larger, 30fps versions of the videos in game.
Because of 1st generation neural implants newdark engine limitations, the game cannot render video larger than 640x480, but there is still a visible improvement overall. I've also packaged the videos in HD if at some point newdark gets patched.
Videos are encoded in x264 format shoved into .avi containers, so the overall download is actually 40mb smaller than the original videos

You'll want to make sure you make these changes to cam_ext.cfg to fix any in-game issues:
crop_movies
crop_movies 0 70 640 340
movie_sw_scale_quality 6

Let me know what you guys think
