Queer Space Worm

Maybe!

My hope at the moment is to do a second upscale of DS9 (with a newer version of Topaz that should improve results) along with a Voyager upscale at some point this winter.

“The only real question is whether you believe in the legend of Davy Crocket or not. If you do, then there should be no doubt in your mind that he died a hero’s death. If you do not believe in the legend, then he was just a man, and it does not matter how he died.“

“To the best friends a hologram ever had.”

“You can pulp a story but you cannot destroy an idea... that future, I created it, and it’s real!”

“You set her up! She was an innocent woman and you let Sloan destroy her!”

“You are an opportunistic, power-hungry dictator, and I want nothing more to do with you.”

♫ Say, it’s only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea, but it wouldn’t be make-believe if you believed in me ♫

- “Before I forget, here’s the immunological data you asked for.” - “How nice of you to put it together for me so quickly.”

“To manufactured triumph!”

“Eighteen? I just hope I can survive one.“

- “I wonder if the Jem’Hadar get jittery before a battle.” - “I wouldn’t count on it.”

“This is the story of a little ship that took a little trip.”

“The Klingon empire is dying. And I think it deserves to die.”

I’m working from the North American DVDs, which only have English audio and subtitles, so that’s what I included.

According to Memory Alpha, the European DVDs include Spanish, French, German, and Italian dubs, so you could rip those (or find a torrent) and mux the Spanish audio with the upscaled videos using MKVToolnix. You can find SRT files with subtitles for various languages here.

Note that you might run into NTSC/PAL conversion issues (almost certainly with dubs, possibly with subtitles too), as the PAL DVDs are slightly sped up to account for the different refresh rates.

You’re welcome!

I’m not 100% ruling out doing Voyager in the future, but my interest in it tends to be in transformative works rather than the show itself (e.g. I’ll read just about any B’Elanna/Seven fic I can find, but I’m not really interested in rewatching the episodes themselves), so I don’t have the same motivation for seeing it in HD that I do with DS9. I’m definitely not the only person who’s experimenting with upscaling 90s Trek, so I’m hoping there’s a Voyager die-hard out there who will do it.

My plan now is to experiment with different processes and settings (Topaz recently released a new model that’s supposed to be better about jitter) to try to improve on the initial DS9 upscale.
