Thanks for the report. This should hopefully be fixed now.
To TLDR what Sav1or said in a frank manner, you clowns shouldn't open your mouth on this matter when you're this clueless, closed-minded and incapable of thinking for yourself.
Have you tried their website?
It's quite disheartening to see that people would rather spend the time sharing provably false opinions stated as if they were fact based on misinformation when they could have so easily clicked on a link in the description or read the info.txt file to understand what's really going on. Here we go:

What is the best source available right now?

SCY. Read their image comparison from Sneedex if you don't believe them. Also see what is noted on Sneedex - they seem to agree.

[SCY] Hellsing Ultimate (BD 1080p Hi10 FLAC) [Dual-Audio] Description Excerpt:


The main reason I encoded this is because I wasn’t quite satisfied with the encodes from Salender-Raws, which lacked any sort of edgefixing, cropping, scenefiltering or rescaling. The lack of rescaling is especially important, considering all episodes were produced at 540p/720p. Despite that, I chose to do a 1080p release to accommodate for the lossless 5.1/2.0 audio tracks. Plus, and while definitely a rarity, some episodes do actually feature native 900p and 1080p content.

Overall, filtering comes down to rescaling, anti-aliasing, edgefixing, cropping, adaptive denoising, debanding and dehaloing. Naturally, I used different filtering for most episodes to accommodate for their native resolution and source defects. One thing I should probably mention is that episodes 2-4 feature hundreds of Q-TEC upscaled scenes. Originally, these were heavily oversharpened a contained a lot of aliasing and haloing. I went through every episode manually and scenefiltered these scenes with extra strong anti-aliasing and dehaloing. Credits and 1080p elements were scenefiltered as well, except for some episodes where the background content featured Q-TEC upscaling.

There's a BDMV on Nyaa right now with 2 seeders, why not use that?

The BDMV available on Nyaa appears to be the USBD, which the Slowpoke Pics comparisons from Sneedex demonstrates that it is not favorable to an encode from SCY. Even if it were the preferred ITBD, you would have to replicate all the filtering and effort that SCY went through to ultimately make a Mini-encode. Why buy a plastic toothbrush when you could forge your own with solid titanium instead? Why don't we produce our own silk for toilet paper? Must we continue with these strange analogies?

You must always use BDMVs when encoding. Otherwise, don't even bother, right?

Sometimes they simply aren't available, at least not publicly. Sometimes they're known to be worse than other sources, even encoded ones. Sometimes you simply aren't interested in redoing complex filtering just to declare that you used the "best" source for a Mini-encode.

You're not mistaken that using an encode can be a sign that the encoder has no clue what they're doing when they could have clearly used a better source but in this instance, you're completely wrong. What you're using is a generalization that is usually correct but when stated in a case where it doesn't apply, it makes you look like a fool who is just blindly parroting others without having your own original, useful thought.

Don't be silly.

Cheers,
-Sav1or

After the maintenace, the RSS feed seems to be broken, shows unable to connect in browser and apps like Miru can't fetch torrents D:
Guilty as charged. And our lives won't ever depend on it.

A lot of our work is automated and we don't have time to watch every series - not even for example our own Princess Principal release despite planning to redo it with a better source and add the new movie. There are some releases we'll never watch because we don't find them interesting. We have watched some series months after they were released. We've seen some, such as Railgun, that also suffered from the same issues as Yuru Camp. We plan to of course replace them with better versions in the future.

Cheers,
-Sav1or

Yes apart from the web-server problem the site has not updated the recent releases for like 5 hours+

Tho we had a similar issue like some months ago i assume will take 2-3 days to fix it.
Girls und Panzer has slowed down and was delayed since our GPU stopped working and we have been prioritizing other projects in the interim but here's a preview of the progress so far: https://imgur.com/a/XGKpj9g

Before our GPU stopped working we were able to fortunately finish rescaling the entirety of Season 1 so both Sav1or and Sav1our releases will have a rescaled Season 1 straight from the BDMV. The resolution was already very high (900p) so the difference is very hard to notice in most scenes but at least it was completed. Fortunately, the movies might not need the same treatment so we'll be encoding those as is. We've added all the audio commentary we could find. We are also considering modifying AK-Submarine's subtitles but with text extracted from the German PGS subtitles to have styled German subtitles but that's a very lofty goal for a language we don't understand so that might not happen. At the very least, we'll have a ton more German audio and subtitles available thanks to a new source. And since we're on the topic of sourcing subtitles, if anyone has subtitles in other languages besides Japanese, English, and German we would appreciate a link. We know of someone's personal project to make Spanish subtitles but those seemed difficult to get. Also some of the Tank Corner episodes don't have any subtitles whatsoever since they don't exist (yet) but we've included them regardless for the sake of completeness.

We hope to have GnP done before the end of the year or perhaps within the next month.

Cheers,

Hey there, thanks for compiling this list of issues with this release - we have been aware of some of them for some time now so sorry for any inconveniences it has caused. This was brought up in the Anime AV1 Discord server and became a meme of sorts every time L-Smash as a chunking method was suspected to be a culprit of decode issues. Our investigation into the issue yielded some new information and has since changed our tool set whenever possible. You can read more about it here. Not everyone has access to the Discord so here is our quote below:

I'm aware a good portion of my encodes are corrupted by LSmash chunking issues and a few from Grav1synth before I figured out what was causing it. Both of these are solved now and the former involves a costly fix but is not impossible.
Errors in video streams exist for many releases but here are the few ones I have plans or at least desires to redo with better sources, new mitigations, and new encoding setups:

* Girls und Panzer - All BDMV sourced + rescaled. Huge project currently underway. Plagued by Grav1synth + Lsmash and then "patched" without fully understanding what caused the issue. I got the most flak for making a v3 of this. Never before have I been so intensely insulted and berated for doing such a bad job.
* Yuru Camp - Basically a recurring meme where scenes are destroyed by LSmash chunking.
* Honzuki - Lsmash again, and it's my first project which I redid once already. Dgdecnv which did not exist then is now available.
* Railgun - Lsmash. No one has said anything but I watched it and it happened many times. Would like to redo along with the Index and Accelerator series.
* Golden Time - Lsmash on E16. Want to redo with BDMV.
* Princess Principal - No known issues, haven't watched it yet but I want to redo with new setup + use BDMVs.
* Gunslinger Girl - Lsmash. Grav1synth. Want to redo with modern SVT internal FGS.
* LoGH OG - No known issues but want to redo with the 255gb source.

I'm aware of Lsmash issues with Death Note and Bakemono no Ko, but am not redoing them.

I'll reiterate that I do not do subtitling or typesetting or QC. If the source subtitles are bad and there is no better source then that's the best we have and I have no interest in improving it. I also have yet to find/make a solution that fixes missing fonts so if my source has missing fonts in 1 random episode then that's the best we got. Unless someone can present a 1-click batch solution then that won't change.

In short, using L-Smash in Av1an has known issues and fortunately they can be avoided by using certain older versions of DGDecNV and/or recent versions of BestSource. Unfortunately, there is no perfect chunking method that always works and is the most performant. We learned this the hard way and there are many users who still doubt this knowledge because their experience doesn't reflect ours and others like us.

So back to Yuru Camp; we decided to wait until the 3rd season BD and the accompanying English dub was available before tackling this project again so there will be a new Dual Audio release eventually using a different chunking method less prone to issues that plagued this one. We currently do not have a working GPU so our only option is to use BestSource. However, a lot of recent releases have been using it and the decoded output is quite reliable so we expect the next version to be free of those issues. We also have our Normal-Boost Multi-Pass algorithm that would be a great boon to image quality. There have also been great strides in improving quality from SVT-AV1 - chiefly Variance Boost and faster encoding at lower/better presets - that would improve the next release.

Cheers,
-Sav1or

Why the anime covers are not loading anymore
fetch please thank you
I wouldn't really call it a mini considering CR releases are about the same size and mini's are around 300-400mb or less.
But I do agree that re-encoding another groups encode really sucks.
I agree, re-encoding someone else's encode is a sign of an amateur.
Lulz, a crappy encode of someone else's encode and not from a BD/BDMV... I suppose you re-encoded the audio also for size....
Sucks to be you, I download complete uploaded files.
Most come here for the complete video files, not the subs.

Thanks a lot for the early heads up and ongoing communication via here and the Site Updates feed on the main page.

Gotta be more frustrating for you than anyone else since all you can do is hurry up and wait until the host fixes it!

Thank you!

Welp ... I hope I didn't jinx it. XD
Let's hope these boot issues get sorted by the provider.
It says the source is Erai-raws and they are still releasing the eps.
Dang, I hate it when your source suddenly vanished! Hope he is doing well((

Girl, are you dumb? It can mux, extract, rename channels, add subtitles, add attachments and chapters. Also, I already mentioned it will take a few minutes of your time to get acquainted to it.
OR
are you looking for an EXACT COPY of mkvToolnix? Eh?
Yay, congratulations

My friend has an android app for that! mkvtoolnix clone. You can give him 5 star review I'm sure he will be glad, remember it takes a little patience for first-try use (:
