VSET: Video SuperResolution Encode Tool Overview
VSET stands for Video SuperResolution Encode Tool, a graphical tool designed for batch processing of videos using Vapoursynth. It has been through initial testing and is currently available in its latest open-source stable version, version 3.2.2. Users are encouraged to try it out and provide feedback.
Community and Support
The VSET project has successfully expanded its user community, with its technical discussion group growing to accommodate up to 2000 members, thanks to public support. Users are advised to only use the official GitHub source for downloading VSET as there have been reports of unauthorized versions being distributed on paid download sites. Importantly, all project code and software are prohibited from any unauthorized commercial use.
Features
VSET offers an array of impressive features aimed at enhancing video quality and providing a smooth processing experience:
- Super-Resolution Support: Enhances both animated and live-action videos.
- Advanced Algorithms: Includes popular frame interpolation algorithms and various Vapoursynth filters such as QTGMC and deband.
- High Precision: Utilizes 16-bit processing for superior accuracy.
- Preview Capabilities: Allows users to preview any frame before rendering.
- Comprehensive Processing: Supports full subtitle and audio processing.
- Customization and Batch Processing: Offers customizable encoding parameters and supports queue-based bulk processing.
- Multi-instance Capability: Handles high-performance tasks efficiently, especially with high-end GPUs.
- Open Source: Fully available for development and modification by users under appropriate open-source agreements.
Recent Updates
As of April 27, 2023, VSET has implemented several significant updates:
- A preview feature was added for users to view frames at any point of the processing timeline.
- Output information enhancements were made to display target resolution, frame count, progress, bitrate, speed, and estimated time remaining.
- Comprehensive support extended to Intel GPUs in addition to existing support for AMD and NVIDIA.
- The introduction of ten new models for the basicvsrpp framework and removal of older basicvsr algorithms.
- New facial repair algorithms and additional filter settings.
- Various encoding issues resolved and new options added, including the ability to import external subtitles and audio.
- New encoding presets and algorithms provided, including codeformat for facial restoration.
Installation and Access
Installation can be done through:
- Baidu Cloud: Download a bundled package that functions upon extraction.
- Steam: Online updates available; however, testing access codes are now fully distributed.
Steam testing requires a graphics card with at least 6GB of VRAM from the 20, 30, and 40 series and a willingness to engage constructively during development.
