Upscaling in Handbrake

[MxPhenom 216]

YES! Success! I found a free encoder that does it! Not to mention it has a basic editor as well (which Handbrake doesn't have) It also seems pretty quick, faster than TMPGEnc.

XMedia Recode is what it's called, I know, THAT name Trust me though I went through about 20 different encoders and this was the only free encoder that did the job flawlessly. It has ALL of the advanced options too, a lot of the programs I downloaded didn't.

The program is easy to navigate and doesn't look flashy or "cheap", if you know what I mean.

Apparently it was made by one person, Sebastian Dörfler, the website is in German but the program is English.

Ill have to try it out on a clip of one of my GoPros. Only probably with playing a 4k video online, is it takes a while to buffer. Not everyone has 1Gb/s internet speeds haha.

Hi!
I've tried this program but it won't let me adjust the resolution to any setting higher than the original. Can you give me any tips as I'm looking to upscale 1080p to 4k due to YouTube compression. Thanks!

It's possible that in the newer versions that feature has been removed but i'll check to see if it still work for me.


Edit:
Looked in to it, it does work. It's codec dependent. Change the format to MP4 then go to the Video tab and choose MPEG-4 or MPEG-4 AVC (NVidia NVENC) or even H.265. Once you do that go to the Filters/Preview tab and go to resolution and you should be able to increase the resolution.

Great thanks, I wonder if it's possible to still download the old version?

I edited my previous post, just look at that.

You could use MeGUI. It's intertwined with AviSynth. If you can use AviSynth, you can do most anything. So upscale a 1920x1080 video, all you'd have to do would be add spline64resize(3840,2160) to the avisynth profile. I've personally done it as a test to see if my roku could handle 4k hevc content by blowing up a much smaller video to 4k.

Thanks for the tip! I haven't tried AviSynth yet but will definitely bear it in mind. I used Xmedia recode and the first time it outputted in 1080p but I tried a couple more time and I managed to create 4k files, so I'm not entirely sure what I was doing wrong.
