`Sav1or` | Codec | Quality | Language | Notes
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
**Video** | AV1 | 720p, 1080p 10-bit || Original, Uncropped 4:3
**Audio** | OPUS | Stereo (2.0) 128K | Japanese
**Subtitle** | ASS | *high* | English | Dialogue
**Chapter** || *yes* | English
**Encoding Details**:
A few considerations for those with discerning taste: seasons 1-4 source was converted from VFR 24000/1001-30000/1001 to CFR 24000/1001 (23.976 FPS) due to technical encoding limitations, some grain/noise is lost in both conversion and encoding, but is considered insignificant in regards to this level of compression. If this is unacceptable, please take a look at the sources instead.
AOM-AV1 with Av1an (`--photon-noise 10`)

> This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size without noticeable loss in quality (ie. artifacts, banding, loss of grain/detail, etc.). This is not the hallmark of AV1 - but close enough. - `Sav1or`
