>[BD Remux]
>>287589854Yeah, 2D animation in general is a medium that doesn't really benefit from high bitrates (or even high resolution)Unless you're incredibly autistic about preserving film grain in cel-animation
>>287590052They also have a ton of flaws that requires fixing: a 2-3gb encode will looks better than 6-7gb remux. Remuxes are great for archival purpose, because a full BD season is like 500$ in japan and 120$ in the US if its OOP, otherwise its only 50$
>>287591210For archival? Oh, absolutely, specially since it gives future encoders a better source to start from
>>287591392Yep. Only cost around 5$ to keep one anime season in its remux version on a HDD lolSeriously, i'm still wondering how they manage to even sell 1k units of those in japan, must be either hardcore collectors or rich guys. Some animes don't really need a BD tho, like One Piece because there isn't even ghosting or animation improvement, and the Crunchyroll bitrate is good enough desu
>>287589854That's a really high resolution image, shami.
>4K 60FPS
shami...
>>287591498Probably what you said + nip government is harsher on piracy so it's more convenient to get the BD
>>287591675Yeah p2p is pretty dangerous for them i heard, but still there is a decent chunk that buy the dvd (which are only 10% cheaper, what a ripoff) so i would like to think its more collector that only want to own the showThey started reverse importing their stuff too, i mean i would rather get a USBD for 50$ despite it having slightly more banding and less bitrate, than a 600$ BD ...
>>287591727Eh, I'd argue that anime (2d animation as a whole, but that's beyond the scope of this board) doesn't really benefit from FHD that much, but yeah, there should be more of a price difference. On that note, I do find it weird you can still get a lot of western live action stuff on DVD, but official western releases of anime are BD only. I managed to snatch Initial D First Stage on DVD for 20 dollars new, but it seems it was old Funimation stock because now it's only used listings for like 200 bucks. Shame because I was like "I'll get the 2nd stage+3rd stage+extra stage set later" and now that's also gone
>>287589854>[Coalgirls]
>>287591859Yep but there is no ghosting and fixed drawing which is a big plus. For One Piece its useless thoYep since COVID everything that goes OOP does a x10. Manipulated sells (fake ones), shill bidding, dumb collector and wealthy people means that a 20$ trash item can be worth 500$ within a few weeks. Fairy Tail Collection 12 for some reason is worth 200$, the UK version (same packaging, just diff region) is worth 20$, yet the first one is selling 4-5 time a monthYeah no thanks you i will keep buying HDDs
>>287591549
>>287591883>Coalgirls has been dead for 4 years nowThe group essentially died back in 2016 but still, I truly miss fansubbing.
>>287591210why are BD's in Japan 5x more expensive than US BD's anyways?
ABABABA BABABA BABABA
>480p BDRip
>>287591883RIP in peas
>>287594779That's not as silly as it might seem, in cases where they lost the OG film, but have the digital scan, but they scanned at 480p, it means you get the series in 480p but at a higher bitrate and in h264 (instead of an even older codec)In cases where all that remains is the OG video conversion, they usually at least made that a higher bitrate than DVD and then re-encoded for the BD-releaseIf all they have is the same files that went on the DVD release, then yeah, the only people who're gonna see an advantage are people buying the actual disc, who now only have to worry about 1-2 discs instead of 10-20
>>287594779>720p>DVDhmmmm

>>287597445>DVD rip is larger than bluray rip
>video has 20+ subtitle languages
>>287597620Seriously it honestly feel like they're intentionally doing it (making shit blurry). Looks how crisp this is, and this is a ~350mb rip.
>>287592018Fair, that being said, I'm still kinda mad about missing out on that disc. I have the DarkDream release, but I primarily wanted it for collection's sake
>>287597620>download some 1gb 2026 anime episodeSubsPlease? Erai Raws? That's the maximum quality available from Crunchyroll (and no Blu-ray to rip from because it's new)
>>287589854>AV1
>>287597730>file has 20+ audio languages
>dual audio>default audio: ENG>source: US BD>multiple subtitle tracks tagged as ENG
>>287589854I don’t get it. Is that supposed to be a bad thing? I almost always stick to BD Remux versions forthe classics.
>>287590052>incredibly autistic about preserving film grain in cel-animationYou don't need to be "incredibly autistic" to be honest, a bit goes a long way and decent filesizes make a big difference if the source material is good. 1GB per episode of Conan Netflix remasters was enough to make it world changing levels of improvement over any other version out there up to that point, every single frame is stupidly good, most backgrounds are earth shatteringly beautiful, they seem like little early Monets.
>>287599041>[dual audio]>Verification not req.
>>287599041All subtitles that are English should be tagged EN, and yes there's gonna be at least two in dual audio releases. Don't tell me you use JA tag for regular en subtitles...
>>287589854>Hi10p
>>287597834You can buy it but it might cost you and arm and a legThe problem is that you are competing with "well off kids" and desperate collectors: did you know the OVTG artbook is going for 400-600$? it used to be 30$ retail for years. That is because the fanbase is retarded and will spend this amount just to get 40 upvote on the subredditFor your average dude, spending more than 10x time the price on an item simply because "lol they don't produce it anymore since 1 week so it must be worth gold" is retarded. I will just pirate it and call it a day
>>287600091Fair point, but some people go overboard (See: The dude on Nyaa who made three Berserk releases, smallest one being 30 GB)>>287602200Yeah, I know, but 200 dollars is beyond my "random bullshit I might buy on a whim" budget, might look into seeing if the UK ver is cheaper but I think I'll be happy I got to buy First Stage
>>287604100Are you american? It seems like people are wealthier than european so "rarer" stuff cost more: eg Emerald is like 200$ but the UK english version is half the price ...
>>287604228UruguayanI'm fairly well off by the standards of this shithole, but I try to avoid spending too much on non-essentials since I wanna save to eventually leave
>>287599041>default audioAny media player worth its salt will let you set default audio and subtitle languages.

I have a 20tb external just for chinese cartoonsa remux for the worthy is nothing
>>287606485>tfw only 14TB for animeI kneel
i've torrented anime for 15 years and don't know what remux means. just sort by size and see what people commented on the largest 3 uploads~ to decide.
>>287607155>I've been retarded for 15 years
>>287607155>I am silly
>>287607215yeah. and i'll remain retarded for 15 more.
>>287607236absolute kino.
>1080p webrip>AC3
There is this remux I downloaded but each episode is in multiple parts and I have to use mpc and pot player trickery to get subs or audio to work. Is there a easier way ?
>he doesn't have his own donut steel secret encoding method>his personal episodes of his favorite anime are less than 1 TB eachishygddt
>>287607318
>>287607378Personally I re-grain every BD release to simulate that crispy look of ye olde shows. It increases the filesize to 100+ gigs per episode but, heh, it's worth it. Really puts me above those seasonal watching plebeians.
Since we're talking about our own encodes: I regularly do 240p 512 kbps MPEG-4 encodes of 4:3 anime to watch on a 3" phone
>>287597610>https://rentry.co/m22kravd>audio is 61% of the file size
You anons at least pay for something right?
>>287608910I pay for doujins
>>287608910I pay for hard drives. So the GDP goes up I think. Wish I could pirate hard drives though.
>>287608910I bought physical books from jewcob. Buying discs for anime just sounds silly. Money would be better spent on hard drives.
>>287608910I have two episodes of Gundam SEED on VCD, of all formats.
>>287608721>https://nyaa.si/view/1099393>subs are 100% of the file size
>>287608910I used to pay for CR because I was too lazy to set up RSS autodownload and didn't want to torrent manually, then some anon explained how easy it was and I didn't renew (I'd buy three months and cancel as soon as I signed up because there's usually only 2-3 shows I like every other season)
>I used to pay for CR/a/ has fallen

>>287589854do you not know what remux means
>>287608910I leave that to normalfags
>>287597743Yes. You don't want anime to look like vector graphics. You need some roughness.
>>287610503AV1 = Adult Video #1

>>287610503>and why does it rape mpv?It rapes old hardware
>>287610089AV1 is based, wish it was supported here. The problem is retards reencoding lossy sources with dogshit settings.
>>287610604Fuck, I despise the filter anime use nowadays. Bottom looks so much better. It's like I just got a cataract surgery.
>>287589854>x265\av1 1080p 3.5gb per 12eps
>>287611658
>no batch downloads
>>287611600Yeah its too blurry, there is a middle ground. People will tell you its because you don't like the aesthetic but most older anime were sharper than actual ones, despite having ton of grain and a lower resolutionsTop one for instance looks like Dragon Ball Kai , which looks even blurrier than the Dragon Ball Z dvd lmao
>>287600422>Don't tell me you use JAJAP actually
