New raws for The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn.
Includes all content from the DVD boxes.
So, uh, the DVDs look like ass. A bunch of eps have standard field blending, and I've removed that for the most part. Unfortunately, all episodes have some other type of field blending that seems to affect stuff where the chroma signal has something high intensity. Areas with strong colors sometimes persist a frame or two, occasionally making it seem like the color signal is lagging behing the black/white in areas. Couldn't really do anything about that if I wanted to finish this ever.
Thankfully, the more typical field blending is consistant. Single segment each for the OP, Part A, Part B, and ED/Preview.
The Full OP video (and by extension, the karaoke video that used it as a base) were tape edited, so were a bit more work to clean up.
The one video that doesn't look like crap is the trailer for New Century Brave Wars, as it uses PS2 game footage. As such, it's been encoded at 60fps.
@Sts115 : HEVC is rather very inefficient for SD quality. I have Da-Garn DVDs (I uploaded them including all of boxarts/booklets at Nyaa if you want) and did some experiments with HEVC for a while. I just could not get any acceptable result with HEVC. The files are simply too big or quality suffers.
I eneded up encoding with just plain X264 with filters for my plex playback files. 10bit H264 is indeed unfortunately not strongly supported by many devices; my encodes are done with 8-bits.
That said, there are other releases, or you can grab my DVD ISO release and encode for yourself. It is not that hard... just plain annoying to get correct chapters from DVDs and know how to use filters to clean up the videos.
That said, this release is probably the best Da-Garn release so far, and of course the most modern. Thank BHR for cleaning up those karaoke video and OP.
Dude avc 10bit looks like trash on Android and tv boxes, so even if you say it is the best no one will see that quality. Maybe on pc quality is not noticeable, but on a big tv it is. Hw is always better than sw decode, so hevc is indeed better to avoid watching horrible artifacts. I encoded recently this kind of interlaced and blended videos, and i can say the only way to encode this is by bobbing to 59.94 fps. That way no more bad panning or other artifacts are present. Give it a try, i use x265 cli but you can use handbrake to see the results of bobbing.
Well, they are only trash because they have to be transcoded-on-fly to be played on those boxes. It is not that 264 10bits are bad compared to HEVC in the first place. If you can avoid transcoding you should have pristine video quality.

Best solution is just buy Xbox One S and use Kodi. It supports everything.
They are not transcoded dude. They play by using SW decoders wich are always inferior than HW. Lol dude I won't buy an xbox one to play an old deprecated codec. And i guess no one would do.
I have GaoGaiGar encoded, but IRL stuff has been leaving me too burnt out to work on subtitles for a while, and GUIS stuff takes priority over GaoGaiGar.
