To convert 1080p YouTube videos to 60fps, I recommend this script

Encode with x264 Q=23 Preset="slower". Single-threaded, but you can run 2 or 4 instances at once for best performance.

Code:

file="Source.mp4"
LWLibavVideoSource(file, cache=False)
AudioDub(LWLibavAudioSource(file, cache=False))
FrameRateConverter(NewNum=60, NewDen=1, Preset="slower", Prefilter=RemoveGrain(21))

or for faster processing

Encode with x264 Q=23 Preset="slow". Here you can use MT.

Code:

file="Source.mp4"
LWLibavVideoSource(file, cache=False)
AudioDub(LWLibavAudioSource(file, cache=False))
FrameRateConverter(NewNum=60, NewDen=1, Prefilter=RemoveGrain(21))
Prefetch(8)

If downloading videos from YouTube, always use the MP4 version if possible, not the VP9 video. Why?

Here's a comparison between MP4 and MP9 after encoding to x264. The MP4 video is just slightly larger but VP9 is 40% more efficient thus MP4 should be lower quality.

After encoding however... MP4 / VP9

VP9 doesn't re-encode well at all back to x264 because these 2 formats don't keep the same kind of data. x264 works with pixels, VP9 works with vectors. Converting back to x264 causes massive loss of details and a plastic effect. x265 doesn't decode well at 60fps.

If there are recommendations to improve this process, you can post your suggestions (very light denoising perhaps?)
