I saw the recent "best of" #140 and revisited my copy, which does not have jump cuts. It also does not have the stage performance at the start. I have edited that into the "Vital Statistics" short.

Edit, I trim cropped this to be 16.9 aspect ratio without (in my opinion) losing quality of image.
Edit 2, I have replaced the screenshots with the active files, Spike correctly pointed out I had done the versions I was editing previously.
Also my version of Sex Deluxe was trimmed to 832x468 16.9 a couple of years ago (I don't have the original) all I did this time was to edit out the dance routine and a couple of minutes of non-silvia cuts.

This has got to be one of my absolute favourite scenes, although it is spoilt by the interruptions at the start with Gina Lynn and Herschell Savage.
I was a little wary of downloading these files when I saw in the thumbnail previews that the main scene was 26.7GB! I presume you are using some uncompressed format for editing them! Fortunately the downloads were quite normal sizes.
When you say you crop-edited the scenes you uploaded, does that imply you have an unedited version of the main scene, or do you just mean the cropping was to the short merged composite of "Sex Deluxe" and "Nasty Flixxx 2"?
I agree it there's something "cartoon-like" about some of the upscaling.
I don't know about the settings in Topaz, but it's maybe overdoing the smoothing. perhaps using bilateral filtering (aka selective gaussian blur). Similar to the effect used on a lot of Pier999 photo sets.
But it's actually not an unpleasant effect, so still well worth the effort.
Another thing I've read somewhere is that it's better if you work on interlaced MPEG2 video rather than MPEG4 (e.g. H264, XVid). MPEG2 effectively gives you 50 frames per second (PAL) so it has more data to work with. So it might be worth concentrating on VOB files from ripped DVDs, if you have them. I'm sure we could help you out if you don't!
Hey guys thanks and always appreciate your finds. Was just wondering if someone could re-upload this? possibly the enhanced version? Please and Thank you.
