Software needed to do UpScaling...

Download and install Python version 3.11 from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/




Download and install VapourSynth from here: https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth/releases/tag/R64




Download and install VapourSynth Editor from here: https://github.com/YomikoR/VapourSynth-Editor/releases/tag/r19-mod-6.2




Download and unzip FFmpeg Full version from here: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/



Open the Command Prompt as Administrator and go to this directory: C:Program FilesVapourSynthvsrepo




In the Command Prompt write this command: vsrepo.py install ffms2
and click on enter.



You have installed an FFmpeg library to play video files with VapourSynth.


In the Command Prompt write this command: vsrepo.py install adjust
and click on enter.



Now you have everything you need to do UpScaling.


Create a New Folder and put the 1080p file you want to enlarge into it and create a New Text File called: UpScaling. vpy




Double click on the file UpScaling.vpy and the VaporSynth editor you installed opens:



Write these commands:

Quote:

import vaporsynth as vs
import os
import sys
import adjust
core = vs.core

clip = core.ffms2.Source(source='F:\BluRay_Rip\Test Software Vari\Tutorial UpScaling\Le cronache di Narnia - Il viaggio del veliero (2010) 1080p originale 2 minuti 42-44.mkv')

clip = core.resize.Lanczos(clip, format=vs.RGBS, matrix_in_s="709", transfer_in_s="709", primaries_in_s="709")

clip = core.resize.Lanczos(clip, format=vs.YUV420P10, matrix_s="2020ncl", transfer_s="st2084", primaries_s="2020")

clip = adjust.Tweak(clip, bright=0.2,cont=1.2,sat=1.1);

clip = core.resize.Lanczos(clip, 3840, 2160)

clip.set_output()

Press the F6 key and the editor will check the script you just wrote, it will read the entire source video file so it takes several minutes to test it, with faster hard disk less time it will take to read the video and check the script.

At the end you will see a message in the lower text box of the editor: Script was successfully evaluated.




This Script reads the Source video 1080p 8 bit upscales it to 2160p 10 bit and sends a stream, a video stream to a program to encode it.
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and write this command for encoding with FFmpeg.

"C:\Program Files\VapourSynth\core\vspipe.exe" reads the VapourSynth script "F:\BluRay_Rip\Test Software Vari\Tutorial UpScaling\UpScaling. vpy" and send the output stream to ffmpeg source "C:\Userslicdo\Videos\Bluray_Rip\ffmpeg_latestffmpeg.exe" -y -i -

-filter_complex "[0:0]hqdn3d=luma_spatial=2:chroma_spatial=1.5:luma_tmp=3:chroma_tmp=2.25[v]" is a slight denoise.

master-display=G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(10000000,1):max-cll=1000,400 these values are fine for all films that go from 8 bit to 10 bit if you change them and you don't know what you're doing you get a film with green or red colors or other strange things.

  -crf:v 22 -preset:v medium you can change the crf value to a smaller or larger number.
Larger numbers decrease bitrate and quality, smaller numbers increase quality and bitrate.
You can replace the medium value with one of these: ultrafast - superfast - veryfast - faster - fast - medium - slow - slower - veryslow - placebo
Lower speeds create a smaller file with more detail, higher speeds create a larger file with less detail.

You can replace -crf:v 22 with -b:v 3000k which encodes the file with an average bitrate of 3000k or whatever number you think is better, obviously higher bitrate better encoding.
