DS9 Remastered Clips 4K

[@paulheap1982]

@The Contentment Chavnel maybe you would make any sense, then everybody would be happy.

[@BlazingOwnager]

DS9 really, even before the upgrade, looked way more movie like than TNG. The lighting wasn't flat, the set design extremely dynamic.. I can see why they set it on a Cardassian station.

[@dino-world9911]

nope. i watched some ds9 on netflix. its 480p and it looks terrible and blurry. while TNG is remastared and look sharp and clean on hd.

[@BlazingOwnager]

@@dino-world9911 Uhhh, you're comparing a literally resolution upgrade to lighting, set design, etc. That's not comparable. Compare TNG in 480p to DS9 in 480p and it's pretty obvious which one looks better.

[@bretvyon2336]

@@dino-world9911 No, he's right. TNG had very standard flat television of the time lighting. DS9 experimented and had a greater dynamic.

[@danielhenderson8316]

Part of it was a change in Directors of Photography. Season 1 and 2 were lit by Marvin Rush while 3-7 were lit by Jonathan West. Jonathan West also lit TNG Season 6 and 7 when Marvin Rush moved from TNG to DS9. VOY and ENT were all lit by Marvin Rush and never really looked that great after being edited on video.

Dang Star Trek: Deep Space Nine looks so beautiful in 4K HD in these clips! 😯😍 Man I have to say that CBS really should do a HD remastered/restored version of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and for Star Trek: Voyager since they enough money to produce Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard in movie quality budget. They really would be doing us fans a big service.

[@jolan_tru]

I know, right? The pilot for Discovery cost as much as the final two seasons of DS9 combined.

Holy shit this looks amazing! CBS should really shell out for the full series remastering but they obviously never will.

[@jolan_tru]

It's all because the Blu-Ray TNG boxsets barely shifted any units. They won't risk making another financial loss. What they don't appreciate is that DS9 is the best iteration of Trek; characters, world-building, pacing, action and storytelling. An HD remaster would do DS9 more justice than TNG.

[@Orca19904]

The shot at 0:09 with Dukat and Garak is a notable example, as you can see extra details on Dukat's skin and uniform that you wouldn't ordinarily notice.

[@java80]

Ironically it’s the space sequences that will likely prevent them from doing this. The live action shots were shot on film, so no issue there. Where TNG used models in space, DS9 used mostly CGI… at a time when resolutions did not allow for more than 480p ….

[@ryanwhiteside4333]

All the comments saying they'd pay for a remastered version.. This is one of the only shows where I completely agree with that sentiment

[@TheBigExclusive]

Thanks for the work. I think AI upscaling (DVD to HD) works decently on slow moving scenes. But it falls apart with fast moving CGI space battles. CBS really need to remaster DS9 and Voyager to complete all of Star Trek being in high definition. Maybe put it on CBS All Access or something.

[@builder396]

Actually, I for one am positively surprised with how well the upscaling works in space battles. I have no idea if there is any touching up being done beyond the upscaling, because I never noticed the distinct colored reflections on the ships hulls of nearby hulls. Something that holds up less well with the upscale is the one orbital shot of Bajor, but fuzzy planets is just something they could regularly get away with at the time. Also it looks better than Discoveries space battles by a fucking mile just due to cinematography alone.

[@fallinginthed33p]

@@builder396 The space battles were effectively re-rendered in 1080p using new textures so the 4K upscaling is based on a cleaner source. There's a KZbin video of the Sacrifice of Angels scene comparing up-rezzed 1080p from the original and the new 1080p rendering, you can really see how low res the original models and textures were.

[@TalesOfWar]

@@builder396 Apparently some of the people who worked on the CGI for the show had access to some of the scenes still on old backups so they were able to render them again with more modern techniques and machines. It goes to show how well done a lot of the model and texture work was back then, it's the lighting simulation that really let it down given how computationally demanding it is to do such things. Unfortunately I don't think anybody has access to the full catalogue of scenes and some have simply been lost to the annals of time so they'd have to redo some from scratch. I don't think CBS want to spend that money sadly nor do they seem to care that much for fans to do it for free for whatever reason.

[@PookaBot]

Huh? The space battles look amazing, what are you even talking about? They're crisp af.

[@TheBigExclusive]

​@@PookaBot - As several commenters have said already before you, that's not the official DVD footage used for the space ship scenes. He sampled a different unofficial source to make this video. This unofficial source remade a few short clips in HD. They look good, but they aren't what is on the official DVD that you can buy in the store.
