For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though. - All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary. - All of the fonts (except those for English subtitles) are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts) in order to save space, meaning they contain only the glyphs that are used. ## Sources **Video and Japanese 2.0 audio:** [Sher Khan GS's BD remux](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4627776) (JPBD video) **Japanese 5.1 audio, English audio, and commentary:** [Kametsu](https://nyaa.si/view/798921) **Subtitles:** See Contents above **Chapters (modified):** [GSF](https://nyaa.si/view/1591619) **Covers:** [TheMovieDB](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/196761) → [reduced JPEG artifacts](https://slow.pics/c/dOVHNOKc) (Poster - [JPG (80-100%)](https://openmodeldb.info/models/1x-JPG-80-100), Backdrop - [DeJPG_OmniSR](https://openmodeldb.info/models/1x-DeJPG-OmniSR)) ## Encoding | Type | Tool | Settings | | :-- | :-- | :-- | | **Video** - Filtering | **[VapourSynth](https://www.vapoursynth.com)** | [denoise, deband](https://bin.disroot.org/?9cbb40d69c70977f#CpxMHLybz8ufZ6bE3B4au4pcgh8HDRLPsiaxrneAogMf) | | **Video** - AV1 | [**SVT-AV1-PSY** v2.3.0-C-9e2fac5c](https://github.com/Akatmks/svt-av1-psy-quality/releases) + **[Av1an](https://github.com/rust-av/Av1an)** + [**Progression Boost** Max-Character-Butteraugli](https://github.com/Akatmks/Akatsumekusa-Encoding-Scripts/blob/6f4be81b6a6d0555acf7e2137abb60d89ba70555/Progression-Boost/Progression-Boost.py) | _Metric disabled_ ```--crf 11 --preset 2 --tune 3 --ac-bias 2 --tx-bias 2 --noise-norm-strength 3 --complex-hvs 1 --tf-strength 1 --luminance-qp-bias 80 --qp-scale-compress-strength 2 --enable-variance-boost 1 --variance-boost-strength 2 --variance-octile 4 --enable-qm 1 --qm-min 8 --chroma-qm-min 10 --hbd-mds 1``` + FGS (opening logos & credits excluded): ```--photon-noise 20``` | | **Audio** - Opus | [**opusenc** 0.2-35-gbb045db-dirty](https://github.com/Chocobo1/opus-tools_win32-build) (**libopus** v1.5.2) | ```--bitrate 256``` / ```--bitrate 128``` / ```--bitrate 64``` | ## Playback It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. _Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, [v3.0.20](https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20) apparently doesn't have this problem._ ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [JPBD (38.0 Mb/s) (source) vs. RigAV1 (9 360 kb/s) (encode) vs. AnimeNOW (13.1 Mb/s)](https://slow.pics/c/xiqZzEO2) | [Movie](https://bin.disroot.org/?d70bf4ab0b66167c#C2NqT1fDAZa5Sn1mmT4JPZCimmZM6Gz9JbFbvDbw2gyn) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/search?q=rigav1) w/ attachments | ___
