libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

Video2X
A lossless video/GIF/image upscaler achieved with waifu2x, Anime4K
A lossless video/GIF/image upscale achieved with waifu2x, Anime4K, SRMD and RealSR. Started in Hack the Valley 2, 2018. The latest Windows update is built based on version 4.8.1. GUI is not available for 5.0.0 yet, but is already under development. Go to the GUI page to see the basic usage of the GUI. Try the mirror if you can't download releases directly from GitHub. You can use Video2X on Google Colab for free if you don't have a powerful GPU of your own. You can borrow a powerful GPU (Tesla K80, T4, P4, or P100) on Google's server for free for a maximum of 12 hours per session. Please use the free resource fairly and do not create sessions back-to-back and run upscaling 24/7. This might result in you getting banned. You can get Colab Pro/Pro+ if you'd like to use better GPUs and get longer runtimes. Usage instructions are embedded in the Colab Notebook. -

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). -

FilmCraft
An open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Adobe Premiere Pro
FilmCraft is an open-source nonlinear video editor written from scratch in Rust as a clean-room reimplementation of familiar Premiere Pro workflows. It provides source and program monitors, bins, multitrack timelines, workspaces, effects, color tools, titles, audio, and export functions. The project includes its own implementations of codecs and containers such as H.264, HEVC, ProRes, AAC, VP9, Opus, MP4, and Matroska. A GPU compositor works in linear light, while exact integer time math prevents edit drift. Every editing action is exposed as a command, allowing automation through a CLI, JSON control server, or MCP. Native builds target macOS, Windows, and Linux, while the same engine can also run through WebAssembly. FilmCraft is under active development and does not yet claim complete production parity. -

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. -

You can also write your own mapping files for other games according to writing rules. If you are interested in it and want to learn how it works but do not know how to get started, you can choose to purchase my recorded video lessons. It details the development architecture and the development process of the entire software, and help you develop QtScrcpy from scratch. -
