nice, thanks

Thank you!

I just took a job in the civil service. Do I need to watch this now?

>27GiB for a 720p show from 10 years ago smh tbh fam

@ts92 Those aren't really good critera to judge the necessary bitrate for a transparent encode from. The source doesn't compress as well as you might think, as it is quite noisy. For reference, the sergey_krs encode is crf 16.5, yet still the video has a bitrate of ~7500kbps and major [starvation issues](https://slow.pics/c/JDfu4oSL). Alternatively, you can push the filesize of these encodes down by about 500MB per episode by removing the graining from my scripts if you so wish. I just chose to denoise as to remove compression artefacting and "repair" the grain, meaning I added grain where it was prior, without starving it this time, as to preserve the intended look of the show. Failing that, working a minimum wage job in most developed countries for the duration of time it took me to write this comment should help you amass enough funds to purchase a 32GB storage unit which would be enough to store the entirety of this release. Hope that helped.

Thanks a bunch! Was anything done to the subtitles, or were they pulled from another BD release as is?

If I had done anything to the subtitles, I would say so in the description!

@Tsukudakobashi thanks for the explanation and for open sourcing your scripts!

>27GiB for a 720p show from 10 years ago I could give a 100GiB for a 20y old show - also in 720p. and it is still justifiable!

Thanks

For fellow bloat enthusiasts, FLAC Audio encoded from the BDMV can be found below. https://mega.nz/folder/fZAjWbbB#7KNtAzsXDBwwl2Bl92AkyA

U know u can just sneed the FLAC from BBT-RMX right... But again, why?

The audio encode is literally more transparent than the video encode. Don't really get why you'd wanna waste bits :v

> Source-Encode Comaprison There's a typo, it should be "comparison".

> U know u can just sneed the FLAC from BBT-RMX right… But again, why? I had the BDMV to hand already. Literally the only reason why I did it myself, as I'd have otherwise grabbed another release and remuxed it. > The audio encode is literally more transparent than the video encode. Don’t really get why you’d wanna waste bits :v I'm archiving this as the definitive, go to release of the series. You've done a great job of producing an encode better than the source, so I'd personally rather have muh placebo lossless audio over a lossy transcode to go with it. I could've dithered it down to 16bit, and ordinarily I probably would've, but it's not like storage space is at a premium.

GJ!!!
