Looking for Urotsukidoji (超神伝説うろつき童子) Raws, Remuxes or Good Encodes! High Priority. The older the medium it was sourced from, the better.

AV1 and JXL, nice

please tell me whats the point of your encodes? because I don’t understand, other groups re-encodes anime releases to make smaller sizes what about your releases are they make to be compatible with more devices or something if not for smaller sizes?

Pointless as it’s not the smallest edition and without “(polished)” subs totally pointless.

@AndyAlex91 biggest point is the audio, as I really hate how the 128kbps OPUS and AAC became the standard. I don’t like how they sound, and although I would still rather have higher bitrates for my own audio tracks, 2.0bps is already a world better. then there’s both the av1 and jpegxl codecs which I am a fan of, I think it’s already way past time we get more stuff encoded in it. another important thing to me is to encode DVDs and old media in general, or controversial things, though that is not a hard coded rule and I do encode as well things that I like (such as Monster Musume and Ishuzoku Reviewers for example).

device/hardware compatibility was never really a concern, I always made it clear that my stuff was meant to be watched using mpv, and hinting that I meant the PC version, though even my ancient android smartphone have no problems playing these videos.

indeed there is the intention is to reduce file sizes taking advantage of the av1 codec, but I never had the intention to make the smallest files available. I want to keep the quality high and the sizes low, but I am biased towards quality and there is a point I will not sacrifice any more quality just for the sake of “having the smallest files around”.

About the subs, unfortunately that is the hardest part for me as I can’t really figure out subtitles, so I will use subtitles from things I already have downloaded or from a known source to me. to whoever doesn’t like the subs included on my releases, by all means feel free to use a different one, it’s not like I demand you watch them with the subs I included.

Ooooh! Finally Mitsudomoe! Thanks as always, perfect release also this time!
File size is fine, quality is totally good, and I’m starting to appreciate Wavpack more (still not for Anime though).
I started using Wavpack to heavily compress my Hi-Res FLAC huge collection, but I don’t know how to properly use that "WAVPACK Hybrid Lossless Audio Compressor Win64 Version 5.6.0"
so I’m using the built-in Foobar2000 wavpack encoder, 128 kbps, Extra High 6x.

And don’t worry for compatibility, the only issue is the JXL format for the masses, but mpv can read everything.
For the video should be ok also mpc-be and mpc-hc, and obiously also vlc. (I use always mpv because is the best, especially for its upscales, like FSR, NIS and FSRCNNX, so your DVD releases looks like BD remasters)

For images, I use and recommend IrfanView on Windows, it does have a jpegxl plugin and it works like a charm. There is also a plugin, I don’t really remember for what/where, but it makes the explorer generate thumbnails for jpegxl images as well.

For the WavPack, I use the standalone command line encoder as usual. It is pretty easy. If you want lossless, -h -x4 is what I usually use (high, extra processing x4). If you want lossy, you can add -b(number), where you can use values between 2.0 and 23.9 and it will recognize as bits per sample, or 24 to 9600 and it will recognize as kbps.
So, for a lossless encode, wavpack -h -x4 -m input.wav. The -m is for it to calculate and store the audio md5 hash.
For a lossy encode, wavpack -h -x4 -b'2.0' input.wav for a 2.0bps file, or wavpack -h -x4 -b'384' input.wav for a 384kbps file, for example.
If you want to create a correction file, so you can use the lossy file normally but be able to restore it to it’s original form at a later date, add -c and it will also create a wvc file.
For example, wavpack -h -x4 -b'384' -c input.wav will generate a lossy, playable .wv file at 384kbps and a separate .wvc file with the remaining information which you can use with wvunpack later to restore the full lossless input.

Edit to break some lines and make it easier to read
