1979 - Steelers at Browns (Week 6) - Enhanced Partial NBC Broadcast - 1080p/60fps

Credit to Tim McCartney who uploaded this broadcast 5 years ago on his previous KZbin channel. I took his recording and ran it through Topaz Video AI to enhance and clean it, as well as double the framerate. I then brought the washed-out color and contrast back to normal using Da Vinci Resolve.

[@shanetrimble9265]

You're welcome!

[@johnbednarek123]

You are the Da Vinci of today

[@wbmstr24]

that was weird seeing the bryant gumbel update about San Diego Denver, with former steeler Roy Gerela kicking for san diego (and missing, of course)

[@ironbeatyfly]

Keep up this astoundingly excellent work bro! I always look forward with what your gonna enhance next! 👍

[@shanetrimble9265]

Love your channel too

[@timwood3331]

Thank you for all your hard work for our entertainment

[@docnoc66]

Just beautiful 🎉! Kudos Dave as always

[@davidcrawford1551]

Brilliant work as usual. Thank you. I'd love it if you got a hold of the 1983 Regular Season match up of the Raiders at the Redskins. I've only saw a poor recording of that game. Your work is appreciated regardless.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

Thanks David :) I have a copy of that game, but yeah, pretty poor recording. I'm sure I could improve it, but not sure by how much.

[@ARIZJOE]

That was football.

[@Andy-kw5nw]

6:50, would have been overturned in todays game

[@krisscanlon4051]

Cardiac Kids weren't having it today against the Steel Curtain...Cockcroft was a straight on kicker crazy...Municipal Stadium is a mess lol

[@jim6070]

Thank you!

@1:33:00 Denver in bright purple. What happened there? SInce the orange of the Browns looks good.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

That's an anomaly. The hue of the SD/DEN footage that NBC was showing for those highlights must have been 'off' compared to the rest of the broadcast, thus when I adjusted the overall color, that portion didn't align with the rest.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

Yep, just checked the original source file. The Bronco uniforms were pink in that footage (not correct of course), so when I applied the overall color correction to the entire broadcast, they remained incorrect and turned more purple.

[@larrymelman]

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 Interesting. There is another look-in to Denver @1:56:00 where the color is correct.

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

@@larrymelman The second look-in is better, but the Bronco uniforms still aren't quite right. The color of the footage they were using for the highlights just was off compared to the rest.

[@timburr4453]

Ah Don Criqui. One of my all time favorites (Called Dempsey's legendary kick) and did great work well up into the 1990s.

[@whataboutrob442]

My favorite

[@shanetrimble9265]

Love listening to Criqui and Brodie and the video looks awesome

I remember sports writers talking about Franco getting older and slower. The headline after this said "Franco finds lost step in Cleveland"

[@MrWOLFPACK1974]

Love the quality that you are able to achieve......brings these old classics to life again..

[@michaelamato2714]

thank you Dave these videos are great I only watch your channel now

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

I like how the cameras zoomed in closer to the players before the snap back in those days. Nowadays with the wide screens the cameras zoom out to show more of the field but the players look smaller.

[@wgd14u]

Man I love your channel. I was a kid back then. Bring back memories. It was before my time but do you have the original first Super Bowl broadcast?

[@davevolskysbackdoor5673]

Thanks Steve. Haha, I wish! :)

[@hiawathasmalls3397]

great quality!

[@RetroRider6689]

Beta was better! 🏈

[@Football-Sidelines-NO]

I just wanted to write & state thank you for these great looks at past games, I hope one day there's some long-lost Saints footage that you'll find, be it complete or partial. Thank you again.

[@ironbeatyfly]

Houston Oilers too! 👍

[@djbryanladd]

Someone is stealing you video I just posted Link

[@nathanmiller9250]

Sounded like a steeler home game..even back then

[@orangehoof]

The Steelers are still winning big. I thought you said this broadcast was "enhanced".

[@romelovesdan]

Ha Ha.....Time machine and AI to reverse the Browns woes against the Steelers....I'd be good with that!

[@fatherpeace6486]

Another magnificent job, thank you.

[@mitchc6040]

Football played the real way

[@fragout9575]

Ole Muni Stadium!!! The OG Kardiac Kids!!!

[@kenyongray2615]

What a pleasure watching a team run the football like Pittsburgh did in this game. I love watching teams run the ball and watching a great running back doing it. Love the big shoulder pads and the hard hits that were not penalties as they are in the current NFL. The commercials were also great. Thanks, Dave, for posting this game.

1:53:30 is the big Rocky Blier run.
