**This is not a simple encode of a BD/DVD.This is a project I've been working on for some weeks.** In case you didn't know, there are three STORYTELLERS sources available: - MTV Broadcast. Has bad audio quality and was recorded on progressive scan although the concert was broadcasted on 1080i, which means there is a lot of interlacing and framerate - DVD. Source is 480i, which means quality is horrible (by modern standards), but it has the best audio of the bunch (PCM 16 bit). - SCANDAL Heaven's translation (Youtube). The only good thing about this one is the translation. The subs are hard to read, and the video has a lot of macroblocking due to bad compression. As you can see, all three sources have pros and cons and there isn't a "definitive version". I wanted to watch it without sacrificing anything, so I figured I had to do it myself. What I had to do in order to get the best quality was: **1)** Cut off all the commercials from the MTV broadcast, make a somewhat smooth transition between the parts and sync them to the DVD's audio track. **2)** Export the project to lossless interlaced to eliminate the interlacing later. **3)** Recreate SCANDAL Heaven's subs line by line on Aegisub. I had to time the lines again, correct some grammar errors and create styles for each band member. **4)** Encode the lossless project through Staxrip with my usual settings (x265, slow, CRF 18 and QTGMC if source is interlaced). **5)** Add new chapter marks to the final encode. So what I ended up with is [this](http://u.cubeupload.com/Cifer037/4FINAL.png), which I consider is the best STORYTELLERS experience. **Comparison** [DVD](https://u.cubeupload.com/Cifer037/2dvd.png) [SCANDAL HEAVEN](https://u.cubeupload.com/Cifer037/3SCANDALHeaven.png) [Final Encode](http://u.cubeupload.com/Cifer037/4FINAL.png) If you didn't get bored and were able to read through this post, I hope you can enjoy this video, as it is one of SCANDAL's best live perfomances in my opinion.
