This release is not considered complete as the 3rd and 4th seasons, *Lostorage Incited WIXOSS* and *Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS*, may be released separately and recap OVAs are omitted. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata. `Sav1or` | Codec | Quality | Language | Notes --- | --- | --- | --- | --- **Video** | AV1 | 1080p 10-bit **Audio** | OPUS | Stereo (2.0) 128K, Stereo (2.0) 64K | Japanese, English | Commentary Stereo 64K **Subtitle** | ASS | *high* | English, French | Signs & Songs, Dialogue **Chapter** || *yes* | English **Encoding Details**: Selector Infected WIXOSS & Selector Spread WIXOSS has action scenes like any other show, but the artstyle also makes heavy use of textures and particle effects which make some scenes far more complex than others, requiring significantly lower `--crf` values to retain any detail. We tested `--crf 16` on S01E01 and ended up with a file *over 500mb*. This was absolutely unacceptable for our file size target and we needed a better solution. As such, this is the first project to implement Av1an zones, which is essentially a way for us to choose specific encoding settings on a scene-to-scene basis. For simple dialogue scenes, we used a `--crf` value of `30`, in the simplest scenes we used at most `35`, and in most complex scenes we used `24` or lower. Also note we used `--preset 4` instead of the usual `--preset 6` to avoid some egregious artifacting. These values were mostly chosen based on some sample clip encoding experiments and the experience we have gained over our previous projects. They are not the result of any automation whatsoever and thus, this level of detail should not be expected from every project. With these extreme optimizations, we have been able to exceed our size target for most of the episodes.

This is not the hallmark of AV1. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - `Sav1or` [![AV1 Logo][av1-logo]](https://discord.gg/83dRFDFDp7) Thanks to the helpful people on the [**AV1 Anime Discord**][discord-av1].
