Strike The Blood Taken from the Source BD Encoded by me with great care.
[Video]
Codec: H265 HEVC
Encoder: x265 10Bit
Resolution: 1920x1080
Framerate: 23.976
[Audio]
Track 1: Flac 24-Bit lossless audio with Japanese in 2.0 Stereo
[Subtitles]
Track 1 - [Chihiro] Subs (retimed some episodes)
Chapters included
[Video quality]
We use CRF 18, a high-quality bitrate setting that is a standard recommendation on Doom9 (the expert encoding forum). Rest assured that this video will look perfectly fine even when watched closely on a large screen. CRF 18 avoids pointlessly bloating bitrate for virtually no gain, so you get a great balance of quality and size.
[Audio quality]
This encode uses FLAC, which is lossless but also very large. For virtually the same quality at a much lower filesize, request for a [Small] encode instead on our discord, which uses lossy AAC encoding to strike a better balance. (The video in both encodes is identical.)
If there are any issues please comment below with good pointers where something goes wrong.
Have fun watching and hope you like this torrent.
Do not forget to comment after you watched and or downloaded it ^^

He fucked up Your Name and that has a perfect BD.
e: There are parts of this that fail compared to FFF, but that’s twice the size.

It’s not bad for the size of the video. But this really has no business having FLAC. Either the audio should be encoded and the bitrate given to video, or the audio should be encoded to make this a proper “Let’s not bloat things by 80% to get the last 5% quality in” encode.
These are 600MB episodes with only 350MB to video because 250MB of it is audio. If the audio was encoded qaac q109 (~256kbps) it would be 50MB in audio while still being completely indistinguishable from FLAC. I’d rather have this 550MB in video and 50MB in audio than the way it is currently.

Hey kuchi I guess you really gotta watch it now, if you still are mad about what happened a while ago you really should look at yourself how you look now man how silly could you be.
Also on a note. Taking different frames, just by looking at it isn’t a fair comparison, even worse it is an invalid comparison.
Factually I compared Qaac to Flac and for what I can hear and say it is enough for most people, the thing is though if someone asks me to do it for a good reason (This person not being you) I’ll consider making a [Small] Release for it.

Oh God, Nep doesn’t even know what cropping is.
Nep_Blanc (uploader)
looking at it in a glance it is a different frame.
And btw both are full resolution that wouldn’t have happened if I cropped the video accidentally. if so I have to take a look into this.
Also for you assuming that I am a Male jeez well what a joke, also have manners talking to a woman.
Kiyome
lol wut? I don’t know how you listen, but it’s pretty easy to distinguish lossless vs lossy when you know what to listen for. I couldn’t care if this was released with AAC or FLAC audio as it’s not something like music. But lying about it being indistinguishable doesn’t help.

Thanks a lot!!!

Tester here, I rechecked audio streams for this anime, it is syncing correctly with the video, and/or any dubbing in this encode should be synced correctly with the video as well.
