This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size with significant 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. - SavI0r

Comment Commentary

@JoeGP: Apologies for the missing chapters for S01E01, a good amount of shows do not have openings or endings in the first episode and we mistakenly assumed they were omitted for that reason. Chapters are sourced from SubsPlus+ as they are already labeled in English rather than just labeled as their timestamps in BDMVs - which ReinForce might not have included. S01E13 from SubsPlus+ also had no chapters so we had to manually add them from VARYG.

Regardless, missing chapter markers for 1 out of 24 episodes is a silly reason to waste bandwidth and time downloading a completely different release that is missing photon-noise/film-grain synthesis (reduces/eliminates banding), missing several other languages, and is significantly larger for perceptually similar quality. The desired chapters can be added from any other source or from the chapters XML file from Anime Tosho as found under "All Attachments". Click any of the 3 linked sources below for S01E01 chapters.

MKVToolNix and its GUI are very handy tools to have - even for novice users - when being very picky with data. Below are a couple of example methods to adding chapter markers for S01E01 via MKVToolnixGUI from VARYG, NanDesuKa, or even Ember:

For an ephemeral DDL of the v2 that was made in the above examples, refer to the Source section above.

For using MKVMerge in terminal, here are some sparse instructions. You might have also noticed there is a tab labeled "Chapter editor" in the GUI. In here you can add, remove, and edit chapters into any MKV file you wish. This is how we added chapters for some releases that never had any or edited the labels from BDMV sources which lack them. Now you have the tools and the know-how to make your very own videos with chapters included. The world is your oyster. Go get 'em, Champ!
