Final Fantasy VI Ending - Complete Ending in Full HD 1080p

Well, you didn't get the aspect ratio wrong, and that's something. Of course, technically, you couldn't do full 1080p without changing the aspect ratio, since the definition of 1080p implies that the width of the video is 1920 pixels.

I have to wonder, though, what you've done here besides just take a video and make it bigger. This isn't HD, it's just a bigger version of a standard definition video. I could get just about the same thing by going to YouTube and fullscreening a 240p video, and not have to download half a gigabyte to do it. Also, I'm not sure your framerate is quite right - I think Quicktime reported it as 25fps when the NTSC version of the game runs at 30fps.

That said, you did a pretty good job in not screwing anything major up when you upscaled the video, but it's not really HD.

Actually the original game runs at ~60; only a video playing back at that rate can capture the full motion of the original. YouTube and most video sites generally don't allow anything above 30, so actually having a 60 FPS version to download might provide something worthwhile, albeit with a significant cost to file size (particularly compared to an emulator + savestate at high resolution... though at least you can scan forwards and backwards in a video.)

That's interesting, not sure why QT was reporting 30fps to me, but I stand corrected! At least on that part, anyway.
