Merry Christmas Eve! The video festival continues!

I'm still ripping, upscaling, and then re-encoding these movies.
This is a dump of my DVD of MedabotsTransport Metabee!

Command used on the dvd to de-interlace and combine all the streams:
ffmpeg -i "concat:VTS_04_1.VOB|VTS_01_1.VOB|VTS_03_1.VOB|VTS_03_2.VOB|VTS_03_3.VOB|VTS_03_4.VOB|VTS_03_5.VOB|VTS_03_6.VOB|VTS_03_7.VOB|VTS_01_0.VOB" -filter:v bwdif=mode=send_field:parity=auto:deint=all -vcodec libx265 "C:\Users\Robby\Videos\medabots\medabots-deinterlaced.mp4"

Then all of the many frames were upscaled to 1440x960 with REAL-ESRGAN
For a how to, go to here. https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN/blob/master/docs/anime_video_model.md#how-to-use

The next command then takes those upscaled frames and renders them into hevc_nvenc, then adds in the audio,
ffmpeg -r 59.94 -i "D:\VIDEOS\UPSCALED\medabot-output-frames\frame%08d.jpg" -i "C:\Users\Robby\Videos\medabots\medabots-deinterlaced.mp4" -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -c:a copy -c:v hevc_nvenc -r 59.94 -pix_fmt yuv420p "C:\Users\Robby\Videos\medabots\medabots_upscaled.mp4"

Then to make the video fit correctly in a 4:3 aspect ratio, i changed the SAR metadata with this command. (this doesn't re-encode anything so it only takes 1-2 seconds)
ffmpeg -i .\medabots_upscaled-hevc.mp4 -aspect 720:540 -c copy medabots_upscaled-hevc-4by3-fix.mp4
