Filled Meg & Dia - Monster (HIGH QUALITY)

Hi. I have been looking EVERYWHERE over the years for a high quality version of this music video.

Unfortunately, there's like only 1 floating 1080p version, and it was processed COMPLETELY wrong and is filled with ghosting, interlacing, aliasing, and judder due to wrong IVTC/de-interlacing. %70 of the frames are garbled.

I have already downloaded the Vimeo (which was locked behind ID verification lol) and YouTube version, which both use the same .avi file (that I think was once shared here) that has these issues. I couldn't find anything regarding this video. I found like 1 480p vob and it was pretty bad and letterboxed. The 1080p version would be really nice given it was actually remastered to 1080p. but for some reason it was never released anywhere? I exhausted almost all my search methods (yandex, soulseek, btdig... etc).

I understand ProRes will be next-to-impossible, so any good 1080p encode would be nice and enough for me.

 

The official 720p is available on Xtendamix, but I have no credits there :/

 

I found this one from MTV LA

Is that better than your versions?

 

The quality is AMAZING. THANK YOU. Better than anything I saw by MILES.
I'm curious, where did you find it?

Also sorry for late reply. I was checking if it was an upscale from 720p, but it doesn't seem so after doing some scaling "analysis". Not sure though.
What made me curious and doing that is the 720p version on Xtendamix you mentioned, I never heard of that forum and thought maybe its an indication that the master is 720p.

 

Xtendamix is like a DJ service (Like Promo-Only and others) where you pay 1 credit to get all available resolutions for each video:

​

Is not Master ProRes, but its official (non-upscaled).
In this case, 1 single credit can have access to all resolutions: SD, 720p, 1080p and extended version

​

I have downloaded a lot of "Monster" MV to find a better one with correct fps (720p) and then I did upscale it

 

Here is the 720p source file by the way

thx a lot

 

Thanks. I hadn't realized it was *ai* upscale, I was thinking it was just bicubic scaled to 1080p. I guess that's why it didn't show up as 720p.

The upscale is quite clean and good with decent grain and clean ups, unlike what I usually expect from upsacles, so much I didn't notice or think it was an AI upscale. And I'm really good with video.
I did notice it gets muddy towards the end and there were still garbled frames but I thought it was master related (given there was grain on top). That makes sense.

Anyways, thanks for everything!
Hopefully one day a proper prores or good quality version from the master comes out.

Also, about the Xtendamix 720p version. Is it high-quality/bitrate? I'm curious. And how much 1 credit is? couldn't really find anything about that.

 

You can create a free account to check their library, I never put my hands on a Xtendamix videos but I know that 720p is around 150 MB and 1080p is 250 MB

1 Month / 40 Credits / 35 USD (which means $1,14 each video including all available resolutions)

 

thank you

 

I finally put my hands on a Xtendamix files, looks good
