Riven: All Magcar & Cart Rides (Upscaled, 60 FPS)

This is an attempt at upscaling the Magcar/Maglev and cart ride cutscenes from the game Riven using machine learning-based super-resolution, with frame interpolation to achieve 60FPS (from 15FPS). It took over 100 hours overall on my potato PC :-)

If you're going to try this yourself, please pretrain a denoising model for Cinepak-encoded videos first! I'm certain this will improve the quality a lot.
