Your yapping won't make it any better, it looks like shit and that's a fact.
They all cried about hevc when it came out too "my computer can't play this" then "oh I updated my media player software and it plays fine now"
This definitely be a "old man yells at cloud" moment, av1 has been out since 2018 and whiners who never update their media player software are still saying "av1 new, therefore av1 bad" ya'll been crying about this for OVER SIX YEARS.

Intel Celeron users RIP.
Whoops you didn't read the last sentence "inb4 "they could still switch to av1" let's PRETEND you already know that blu-ray players contain a video decoding chip that's unchangeable hardware regarding what video codecs it supports."

Let's just say you had a momentary lapse of judgement and forgot about the millions of Ultra HD blu-ray players out there that can't play av1. You think Sony is going to allow av1 discs? That the preexisting players can't use? Good idea.
Most of the newer players can stream AV1, it's not hard to add the codec to the hardware especially since it is free.
My dudes, my dudes, let's all take a breath. I've loved 264 and 265 for years, and no one ever said "ugh 265? why are you using this? just use 264." My media player software is from 2016 and it plays 264/265 and it can't play av1 smoothly so obviously av1 is bad, so I'll tell everyone not to use it.

And those AV1 companies, the governing members of the Alliance for Open Media are Amazon, Apple, ARM, Cisco, Google, Huawei, Intel, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Mozilla, Netflix, Nvidia, Samsung Electronics and Tencent. They're wrong. AV1 isn't taking off, I don't see this becoming a thing.
Another well thought out comment. Dude thinks 4k blu-ray had a choice between av1 and hevc.

HEVC spec ratified: 2013
Ultra HD Blu-ray release date: 2016
AV1 spec finalized: 2018

Why didn't Ultra HD BD choose av1 guys? I guess we'll never know...

inb4 "they could still switch to av1" let's PRETEND you already know that blu-ray players contain a video decoding chip that's unchangeable hardware regarding what video codecs it supports.
AV1 was created for the sake of saving bandwidth, therefore don't use it for local files? Solid logic. Just wait until they find out the reason why hevc was created....
Buying a new house = same as trying a new video codec
Exactly, blu ray discs still use .265 despite the royalty fees. If AV1 was all that they would opt for AV1 as the codec of choice.
He didn't say they were brand new. They still are modern though. Being the latest thing doesn't mean it's the greatest just look at all the recalls on newer cars. My house is about 25 years old now and it's still a modern house even though some of the building techniques and specs have changed since then. I don't think I'll be changing houses just for the sake of having something new.
AOMedia Video 1 (AV1) is an open, royalty-free video coding format initially designed for video transmissions over the Internet. Which means this format is used for streaming sites. So yes, if playing offline, use x264 or x265.
"264 is brand new guyz!" (he googles the year it came out) "oh"
its not even video filter upscaling
its the recent ai tech for upscaling and it does a really good job
its basically the same thing as DLSS and most gamers are using some form of it now
264 is showing its age. 265 is fine for higher bitrate stuff, but is pretty shit at lower bitrates (see neoHEVC/neoDESU/Judas/Anime Time/etc. their video quality speaks for itself)
Thanks, but I'll take the BuzzHeavier and GoFile over the link you posted.
You don't need to comment on every AV1 videos you can't run tho. I guess you're the same Anon who comments on the feedback page everytime AT changes its style.
.264 and .265 are still modern codecs.
Or get a better video player and enjoy modern codecs.
They're just playing dumb. Not knowing of pixeldrain is like saying "Wow BuzzHeavier? Never heard of it, seems sketchy, don't trust it." yeah okay cool story.
|What is the issue?
There is no issue. They're just trolling. Imagine going to A DIFFERENT TAG (Sokudo) to complain about the existence of a Breeze v3 release. SavI0r is wise and correct.

If anyone wants to talk about the Breeze Sakomoto v3, WOULDN'T IT MAKE SENSE TO TALK ABOUT IT ON THAT PAGE? Guess not 😂
What is the issue? This batch release from Sokudo for the show Sakamoto Days with episodes 1-3 contains the 2nd version of the encode of which the description clarifies was made as an improvement on the video for higher efficiency. There is no V3. There is no such thing as Granny Smith Oranges. We see no issue here.
Just avoid AV1
Still didn't resolve the V2 V3 issue when the tags don't have one or the other.
S02E01 played fine for me with Potplayer.
This dude just cracked the case wide open, take notes people. Maybe next time you'll look less dumb for not realizing that different tags have different goals and there's software out there that automatically grabs the preferred episodes based on tag name.
Upgrade your media player to something that's not 4+ years old.
video choppy for anyone else
So then, much like their Nier encode, hopefully they will put up the 2-part full season encode soon!
LOL MAL is just another web site like all the others it copies information, so of course the information will be wrong.
It's 26 total but MAL decided to split it into 2 seasons for whatever reason.
To answer the question way up at the top of the thread: the best subs so far, are from [Salchow].
I looked it up on their reddit. A user said that pixeldra.in and pixeldrain.com are owned by pixeldrain. Again, proceed at your own risk.

I've downloaded a ton of Sokudo / Breeze in the past. No complaints, solid visual to file size ratio. I usually download full season packs at the end in case there are updates / errors to fix. One day we'll all be encoding in AV1. Thanks!
Why even bother posting a link when AT already fetched it and uploaded them to ddls? what's the point?
Ooh we know why! We'll take any excuse to talk about automation.

There is a method to this madness. A lot of users will use software like Sonarr and Radarr to feed their media centers with content without having to search for releases themselves. When there are several reputable groups that have a consistent "quality" associated with them and they tend to stick to their niche, viewers will assume that their future releases will maintain that niche. This is all for the better because both parties, the releaser and the viewer, have an expectation of what quality or qualities any given release will tend to have. That could be higher quality video and audio, fan-made subtitles, and so forth.

For us regular folks who don't dabble with this complicated software and just use the search bar, we can use syntax like negation to exclude groups that don't cater to our preferences or just simply search for the groups that we prefer. For our collective releases we have had several people show interest in the higher quality releases labeled as Sav1our or SavI0r-Pro but otherwise had no interest in our regular releases labeled as Sav1or or SavI0r. Some examples: these users could search (using Sphinx search expression enabled) with "Sav1our|SavI0r-Pro", "Breeze", or "mtbb -mini" appended and never see any "Sav1or|SavI0r", "Sokudo", or "MiniMTBB" releases that don't interest them. In a way, this is one of the rudimentary search engine optimizations (SEO) that we also adopted. It's a win-win for both; the viewer has to sift through fewer results they don't care for and the releasers maintain some semblance of organization and consistency.

Have a nice day,
- SavI0r

PS: Yes, we also see the irony in talking about consistency and simplifying search after recently changing our name.
I don't think people should click on this link. I guess the official site of pixeldrain is https://pixeldrain.com. Never heard of pixeldra.in. Proceed at your own risk.
pixeldrain is not some new random link you've never heard of before lol
Is that like the final solution?
