I have upscaled all of MK9's cutscenes into 4K via Topaz Labs' Video Enhance AI software. From this I've interpolated the files into 60fps via SVP. Presently, I'm at the final stage of re-encoding them to Bink.
The only major issue I'm having is the chapter text overlays appearing too soon. The character thumbnail that appears next to the chapter text is baked into the videos. The text overlay is done on-the-fly. For whatever reason (perhaps the doubled fps) the text appears about a minute sooner than it should. I don't know how to fix this, but it's such a minor issue I'm proceeding with the release. If anyone out there knows how to fix this, I'm all ears.
I've also noticed the fight music creeps in towards the end of a cutscene. I actually think this is a pretty cool effect since it hypes you for a fight. This may be alleviated by turning down the music slightly in the audio options.
I've also noticed a minor glitch in Sonya's cutscene when she's entering Goro's Lair to rescue Jax. SVP has created an anomalous wobbly effect in the background cell bars. Eventually I'll attempt to redo this cutscene and any other future glitched ones encountered.

I'm uploading the files as they become available. This will be a faster way to garner feedback. It's probably best to save this post and revisit it for feedback and updates.
The files are to replace the ones located at \DiscContentPC\Movies
(Also delete NRIntroLogo.bik, WBIntroLogo.bik and HVSThunderLogoFIX.bik for faster startup.)
Please share this everywhere. All feedback is welcome.
