Daikama: STFU,2-4 gigs an episode is overkill.Stop being a retard and smell the coffee.FLAC isn’t needed and source audio on most bds is DTS and is re-encoded by coalgirls so stop being stupid and get a clue.And encoding instead of using preset CRF and auto encoding with a high spec pc is shit and is happening by a lot of amateur encoders. >Source audio on most bds is DTS This statement alone has shown you to be more of an amateur at encoding than you claim either of us to be. The source audio on BDs is uncompressed linear PCM 95% of the time. 2% of the time it is uncompressed 5.1 PCM, 2% it is Dolby TrueHD (Lossless), and the last 1% of the time it is DTS-HDMA (Also lossless). @Tenshi – you’re too fast! I haven’t even finished DL ep 6-10! Guess I should stop that torrent and start the next.

@daikama “But for those who want higher quality, it’s much harder to get them” and that is were you are wrong. The argument is not filesize over quality. If the increased filesize provided higher quality, then everyone would be for it and there would be no bitching at all.

Intertherm bdm35 manual. Everyone would be happy with higher sizes if it meant higher quality then say a 500 mb 720p encode. However, this is not the case.

The encoding settings that these are encoded at only increase the filesize. You can easily have this at half the filesize, yet retain all and any of the discernible visual quality. This is just a bad job at encoding. There is no excuse to it.

@CGi,Tenshi,anon-chan copy-paste this in MeGUI. Next time when you are encoding something in 720p, here is a good jumping point. Tweak the settings according to the source and see what settings actually help increase quality and what just slows the encoding time or bloat the filesize. Program –level 4.1 –preset slow –tune animation –crf 18.0 –deblock 1:0 –bframes 8 –ref 8 –qpmin 2 –qpmax 39 –chroma-qp-offset 2 –vbv-bufsize 30000 –vbv-maxrate 40000 –merange 24 –partitions all –trellis 2 –output “output” “input” •. Because I’m bored.

@fucker Lol Learn your shit before you talk. Source on anime BDs are almost always LPCM.

@Tenshi >200% size increase for 1% quality improvement is a >perfectly acceptable price to pay IMO especially at these >tiny file sizes I’m sure the majority of people won’t trade 200% size for 1% quality. Ofcourse, you can say “then they should just not download this and download something else”, but that sort of defeats the purpose of doing this (which is encoding for other people), right?

Also, not everyone has fast as hell internet. I live in Australialand, and the internet here is shit as hell (+ monthly quotas). Fxphd torrent download hd. So it’s not just a storage problem. @ >program –level 4.1 –preset slow –tune animation –crf 18.0 >–deblock 1:0 –bframes 8 –ref 8 –qpmin 2 –qpmax 39 –chroma- >qp-offset 2 –vbv-bufsize 30000 –vbv-maxrate 40000 –merange > 24 –partitions all –trellis 2 –output “output” “input” According to x264 authors, extra ref frames give at least 1% benefit per ref frame for anime content, so do use the 16 if time allows. Also, we’re not encoding for a BD player here or something, why the hell limit yourself with level restrictions and VBV?

Lol don’t fuck with the qpmin and qpmax. Only good lowering the qpmin will do is waste bits on unneccessarily low qps and increase size without any visible increase in quality. There’s a reason why the qpmin exists and is set to what it is, think about that. >Tweak the settings according to the source and see what >settings actually help increase quality and what just >slows the encoding time or bloat the filesize. That is good advice actually. Especailly since some of the current settings make little sense.
