OptiScaler
OptiScaler bridges upscaling/frame gen across GPUs
OptiScaler is an open-source modding tool designed to enhance graphics performance and flexibility in modern PC games by allowing users to replace or modify built-in upscaling technologies. Instead of relying on the upscaling method originally integrated by a game developer, the software intercepts the game’s rendering pipeline and redirects it to alternative technologies chosen by the user. This makes it possible to swap technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, or Intel XeSS even if the game only supports one of them by default. The tool effectively acts as a compatibility layer between the game engine and multiple upscaling frameworks, enabling cross-GPU access to features that might otherwise be restricted to specific hardware ecosystems. In addition to replacing upscalers, OptiScaler can enable frame generation features in titles that do not officially support them, improving frame rates and perceived smoothness during gameplay. -

LosslessCut
The swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing
LosslessCut aims to be the ultimate cross platform FFmpeg GUI for extremely fast and lossless operations on video, audio, subtitle and other related media files. The main feature is lossless trimming and cutting of video and audio files, which is great for saving space by rough-cutting your large video files taken from a video camera, GoPro, drone, etc. It lets you quickly extract the good parts from your videos and discard many gigabytes of data without doing a slow re-encode and thereby losing quality. Or you can add a music or subtitle track to your video without needing to encode. Everything is extremely fast because it does an almost direct data copy, fueled by the awesome FFmpeg which does all the grunt work. Lossless merge/concatenation of arbitrary files (with identical codecs parameters, e.g. from the same camera). Lossless stream editing: Combine arbitrary tracks from multiple files (ex. add music or subtitle track to a video file). -

Real-ESRGAN GUI
Cross-platform GUI for image upscaler Real-ESRGAN
The graphic interface of Real-ESRGAN, a practical and beautiful image magnification tool, refers to the design of waifu2x-caffe. This program is a graphical interface of Real-ESRGAN's command line program Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan , written in Python and tkinter, and supports Windows, Ubuntu and macOS platforms. According to actual measurements, arm64the single-architecture performance is better than universal2the dual- architecture Mac on the Apple chip, so Apple chip users are advised to pack arm64single-architecture applications by themselves. Real-ESRGAN can only enlarge the input image with a fixed 2-4x magnification (related to the selected model). This functionality is achieved by downsampling using a conventional scaling algorithm after multiple calls to Real-ESRGAN. Split each frame of the GIF and record the duration, zoom in one by one and then merge. Drag an image file or directory to any position in the window, and its path can be automatically set as the input. -

RENDER96-HD-TEXTURE-PACK
Texture pack for Super Mario 64
A collaboration texture pack for Super Mario 64 with the people over at the OldSchool HD, now known as Render 96, that is made of a compillation of the best results ESRGAN upscaling could make as the base for this project, as well of some of the original textures Nintendo used, and a heavier focus in original textures made by project contributors which will eventually be an overwhelming majority of what this project is made of. The end goal for this project is to use the original sources for every texture in the game when possible, and use that to hopefully achieve 100% accuracy by recreating the textures with the same process and resources Nintendo had at their disposal back in 1996, as well of incorporating elements from the promotional art into the game with ESRGAN upscales as placeholders for the original textures. The team and I will make to fill in the blanks where no texture sources could be found. -

Robust Video Matting (RVM)
Robust Video Matting in PyTorch, TensorFlow, TensorFlow.js, ONNX
We introduce a robust, real-time, high-resolution human video matting method that achieves new state-of-the-art performance. Our method is much lighter than previous approaches and can process 4K at 76 FPS and HD at 104 FPS on an Nvidia GTX 1080Ti GPU. Unlike most existing methods that perform video matting frame-by-frame as independent images, our method uses a recurrent architecture to exploit temporal information in videos and achieves significant improvements in temporal coherence and matting quality. Furthermore, we propose a novel training strategy that enforces our network on both matting and segmentation objectives. This significantly improves our model's robustness. Our method does not require any auxiliary inputs such as a trimap or a pre-captured background image, so it can be widely applied to existing human matting applications. RVM is specifically designed for robust human video matting. -

Free Fps. Video FPS Converter
Desktop app to change a video FPS
Free FPS is an open‑source desktop app and scripts to change a video file frame rate (FPS) using FFmpeg. Unlike video editors, it does not add effects or alter content - it only adjusts playback speed and, if needed, re-encodes audio as well. Useful if you work with multiple videos shot at different frame rates that cannot be combined or edited without interpolation or frame loss. Also doubles as a fast video compressor: keep the original FPS and raise compression (e.g., higher CRF or lower bitrate) to reduce file size. What it does: Changes video FPS via FFmpeg. Keeps or re‑encodes audio if requested. No effects, no content edits. Writes results to a separate output folder by default. Also doubles as a fast video compressor: keep the original FPS and raise compression (e.g., higher CRF or lower bitrate) to reduce file size. Important: The program is intended for users who understand what FPS conversion does. Changing the frame rate affects the speed and duration of the video -
