Thanks. Been cleaning up my NAS and replacing old series that I like and might revisit every once in a while with AV1 copies, glad there are people with the time to do big AV1 rips (I only own one computer and work too much). Used to be a "must have GB-or-bigger-per-episode archival quality everything" autistic faggot but then as I got older and my collection got bigger I realized I don't want to have to run a rackserver NAS just to keep everything I want to keep. AV1 and Opus are lifesavers, I can keep my cute little 4-drive NAS and be happy. I hated dual-audio releases for a long time but now Opus makes it so that it doesn't really make a difference, as long as eng isn't set as the default audio track (and "signs + songs" aren't set as the default sub track) I'm golden.

Unfortunately some encoding/muxing softwares sets English as the default track, I just set my video players to default to the Japanese track, no matter what track number it is.

I do as well, or if I feel like doing actual labor I will use JMKVpropedit to batch edit the files. After I hop off a torrent I use MKV Optimizer 3 to remove english audio/signs+songs sub bloat entirely. Also any commentary tracks etc.

JMKVpropedit is great. Thanks for the tip about MKV Optimizer 3, I'll check it out

Be careful with MKV Optimizer, don't let it "clean" metadata tags - this will delete track titles etc.

Another joke of a release-I say the bigger the better.
