Script to scale videos with waifu2x. (AviSynth )

It allows you to scale your videos using Waifu2x, without the need to export all images(10Gb-50Gb), as well as the possibility to detect duplicate frames, and save processing time.

Work with any command line program(Windows), such as:

waifu2x-conver-cpp, waifu2x-caffe, waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan. (This is supported by CUDA,CUDNN, GPU AMD, Vulkan)

• It has duplicate frame detector, to save processing time.
• Only use two unique temporary files, 20 mb space disk necessary.
• With all the advantages that AviSynth have, such as video trim, sound, etc.

In the description of the YouTube video, comes a compressed file with all the necessary files (dlls)

Interesting workaround for being able to use Waifu2x within AVISynth. AND being able to benefit from CUDA? Excellent.

Yes, with CUDA, vulkan,OpenCV, GPU AMD, and/or with any command line program (ImageMagick,gimp).
