**EDIT: https://mega.co.nz/#!YY4jTK6B!GSsMAXBz8Sn94gnOKKS3XXLIIpIgzE-Y0wgdODE6Y4I Episode 02 Patch**
Here's a new attempt at encoding the atrocious Evangelion Renewal DVDs. I originally tried using the R1 Platinum discs, but after downloading the R2J Renewal version, I see the encoding really is that much better. Still, the 2003 Renewal project is a joke compared to any modern restoration, with aliasing all over the place.
This release attempts to produce a pragmatic, high quality raw that reduces much of the aliasing in the original source, cleans up some of the ringing and edge enhancement, and gives a very light grain reduction to keep compression to sane levels while providing the original AC3 audio.
Evangelion is a somewhat difficult show to sub due to its large number of one-frame-long subtitles and sign subs that I simply don't have the patience to properly deal with. That said, I wanted to provide a good encode that dealt with a few of the problems inherent to the DVD source, for others to use and remux with. I didn't want to tag this as an EG release because as far as I'm concerned, this is more of a raw release. I've included the vobsubs from the R1s as rudimentary subtitles, but make no mistake that this release is intended for other people to build upon.
**Video:**
H.264 10bit @ CRF16
**Audio:**
AC3 5.1 Japanese @ 448kbps (From R2J)
AC3 5.1 English @ 448kbps (From R1)
**Subs:**
Vobsubs (From R1, for barebones viewing)
Sign Vobsubs (From R1)
If you guys think the rest of this is worth pursuing, I'll simply release a batch torrent of 1-26 when it's done, rather than single episodes. This first batch is to get a public opinion.
