Great! Can you tell something more about your workflow? It looks so good on youtube - my videos have more compression artifacts than detail on youtube. How did you upscale, export, ...? Did you use an editor for cutting (or at least for the texts)? Did you denoise somehow?

Thank you. Very interesting. VirtualDub is working for you in Wine? I get very big problems... when processing it hangs always after 3th..5th frame - for hours with 0% CPU. No idea why. What plugin do you use to export prores from VDub?

[honza123]

I am using "new"  VirtuaDub 2 without any problem in a Linux distribution Mageia. And codec - Apple ProRes is in this built: VirtualDub2.

Ah okay... haven't found this before. That makes installing process way easier. MLV will be opened fine on OSX out of the box now, but again, when trying to export/render/etc. after some frames VDub hangs.
