Release

A Multi Audio release encoded in AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and quality. This release is not considered complete as several extras are omitted. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata.

In order to have French audio and subtitles, we split the single source file and crudely matched them into their respective episodes.

We highly recommend checking out hydes for more details and tips for better playback.

Encoding Details:

There were several experiments on this project including an attempt to either replicate or maintain the original grain. We went with a hybrid of both, leading to what we consider to be an abnormally large file size. While we normally add photon-noise via Grav1synth, we instead opted to use SVT-AV1 grain synthesis directly during the encoding process as it produces far better grain. We also experimented with with using aq-mode 2 for greater efficiency considering the lower CRF used.

This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size with considerable subjective compromises to image quality. This is not the hallmark of AV1. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - Sav1or
