Release

Encoded AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and quality. This release is not considered complete as the SAC_2045 series, OVAs, and Movies are not included. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata. If you are interested in the original movie, please check out the Related Series section.

Encoding Details:

This release was encoded with our very own Normal-Boost encoding setup. As such, the CPU preset and CRF values were selected per scene based on an initial measurement of quality from the first pass and thus the two values listed in the command below are inaccurate. For the most demanding scenes, a minimum of preset 4 and CRF 24 was used. Conversely, the simplest scenes would have a preset of 6 and CRF 40. However, most normal scenes are weighted towards CRF 28. This allows for smaller file sizes and improved quality in select scenes. For more details, experimental data, and other wild conjectures, we invite you to join us in the Discord server.

This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size with moderate subjective compromises to image quality. This is not the hallmark of AV1, but close enough. 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
