Open-sourced an experimental standalone DLSS 5 video player for neural rendering

An experimental native Windows video player (C++20 / D3D12 / FFmpeg / NVIDIA NGX) applies DLSS 5 neural rendering outside a game engine: it pre-renders a neural version of a video, caches it, and lets you switch between original and neural output at the same timestamp. The core challenge: video only gives pixels, so temporal/depth guidance must be estimated, unlike a game engine that knows motion, depth, geometry and materials. Verified on RTX 4080 and 5090; unofficial, not an NVIDIA integration.
