## Release
A complete Dual Audio release encoded in AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and quality. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata.
`Sav1or` | Codec | Quality | Language | Notes
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
**Video** | AV1 | 1080p, 576p 10-bit
**Audio** | OPUS | Stereo (2.0) 128K, Surround (5.1) 192K | Japanese, English
**Subtitle** | ASS | *high* | English | Signs & Songs, Dialogue
**Chapter** || *yes* | English
**Encoding Details**:
Halfway through encoding Season 2, SVT-AV1 1.7.0 was released and the performance improvements at the settings we use could not be ignored. While there are some caveats with comparing the Lavish AOM fork and SVT, we switched encoders mid-season in order to capitalize on the performance improvements on our setup. To the very discerning eye you will spot differences between the two on a case-by-case basis. However, the overall quality is within our target for Railgun.

> This project is a coarse 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`
