It's time to throw out your old archived copy of Noein again. Not that this is not a voss release, but except for the video and audio track, everything is exactly as initially released by voss. "\[Henshin\]s glorious R2DVD encode" was a bit not perfect. The existing blu-ray release looks mostly upscaled, but still have a slightly higher quality than \[Henshin\]s R2DVD encode. Pretty sure that space could be saved by re-encoding the video without any loss in terms of quality, but I'm not an encoder, and I don't care about file size either. The files first two tracks are replaced to use the video and audio track of the released blu-ray (in 1080p - obviously upscaled) while the remaining tracks (english audio, subs and chapters) are exactly as provided by voss - read below for more details. I've also included the extra that are found with the BD torrent, which includes the OSTs, non credit opening/ending, CMs and staff interviews (not subbed). \--- Original message: It's time to throw out your old archived copy of Noein. I've done my best to make sure that this release has "everything". Starting with \[Henshin\]s glorious R2DVD encode, mixing it with the R1DVD english subs and dubs, adding a grain of chapters and non-obtrusive karaoke, and we've pretty much got the perfect blend. And to make it even better, the styling is on the house! Alright, so basically it has the awesome quality R2 video, but it's still dual-audio. You might have noticed that the dub is horribly mastered, so I found it sensible to AAC it (conserving space and all). Furthermore, even though I personally hate dubs, I've gone through the trouble of syncing the english soundtrack within a 5ms margin. Even the most picky watcher should have any problems with this one. As for the subs, everything is pretty much perfectly scenetimed, and there's both a styled and an unstyled subtitle track. The karaoke is in there, but not so blaringly obnoxious as my fellow fansubber-bros tend to make it. Heck, it even passed the unforgiving "linux-netbook on battery power" test! I've gone with tasty minimalism, and I'd say it fits the show well... Though ofcourse this is a case of preference>preference. Finally, as this is my first release, please tell me if there's something I could have done better. Thanks! rizon.net #voss
