Another 08 in 720p
Source: CrunchyRoll 1080p 3.2Mbps
\- Lightly denoised (see below)
\- Temporal I-frame reconstruction (increases quality of poor original MPEG-2 I-frames in non-scenechanges)
\- 100-tap nonlinear natural spline (unreleased) interpolation to 720p
\- Slight debanding (fft3dgpu+dither2pre AVISynth scripts w/denoised 16-bit intermediate+static patterned transdither)
Subs: AnimeUltima, HorribleSubs (CR source, hardsubbed)
\- Uniform styles (Qlassik 34, near-bottom placement)
\- Fixed some strange subtitle positioning (AU vs HS)
\- Fixed timing (labels, subs appear immediately and don't spill over into adjacent scenes)
Encode:
\- Full MP4 container with early moov atom (with lower overhead than offered natively by GPAC/L-SMASH)
\- L4.1 H.264 (8-bit) High Profile, hardware compatible
\- Plays NATIVELY on PS3, iPhone (3GS - 4S), iPad, Windows 7/OSX/Linux(restricted), Android (most ARM Cortex-A8+), DXVA/CUDA/GMA5/QuickSync
\- Encoder: custom, base is heavily modified x264 (unreleased)
\- Encoding settings: significantly higher than x264's 'placebo' (enhanced RD, highres adaptive lookahead, xseat motion estimation, alternative reference frame handling, exhaustive chroma, different AQ, ...)
Quality: Rather decent; certainly more than enough for a casual watching.
Size: Roughly 1/3 of the competition (for a lot more than 1/3 the quality, subjectively speaking). ;)
