Release

Encoded in AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and quality. Due to the lack of a good video source, this release is unsuitable for SavI0r. Our release of the main series - in better quality - can be found here and in the Related Series section above. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata.

Encoding Details:

Encoded with our SWAN system to attempt to target a SSIMULACRA2 score of ~80. Though, using SWAN was excessive considering there is currently no good video source with the appropriate bitrate without artifacts such as blocking and noise. For this reason, the quality and efficiency of the encode is not up to our typical standards. We added chapters manually as no sources have them.

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-Lite
