* avconv is ffmpeg on Ubuntu 14.04.
Extracting images and audio from a video. (range: 00:09:00 ~ 00:12:00)
mkdir frames
avconv -i data/raw.avi -ss 00:09:00 -t 00:03:00 -r 24 -f image2 frames/%06d.png
avconv -i data/raw.avi -ss 00:09:00 -t 00:03:00 audio.mp3
Generating a image list.
find ./frames -name "*.png" |sort > data/frame.txt
waifu2x (for example, noise reduction)
mkdir new_frames
th waifu2x.lua -m noise -noise_level 1 -resume 1 -l data/frame.txt -o new_frames/%d.png
Generating a video from waifu2xed images and audio.
avconv -f image2 -r 24 -i new_frames/%d.png -i audio.mp3 -r 24 -vcodec libx264 -crf 16 video.mp4
Genrating a file list.
find /path/to/image/dir -name "*.png" > data/image_list.txt
(You should use PNG! In my case, waifu2x is trained with 3000 high-resolution-beautiful-PNG images.)
