Yeah, there is/was like a 1tb archive of various recordings that I used to fish out bits and pieces from.
...I then noticed that the quality was awful on a lot of that because it's almost certainly coming off 20 year old VHS tapes and being recorded in some combination of resolution and bitrate that could at best be considered 'low' and fell down the "AI" upscaling rabbit hole.
In case anyone wasn't aware, you can do a shocking amount of amazing upscaling shit for the low low investment of a GPU and a ton of power. (I used QualityScaler)
