Your previous claim was "100%" and now you talk about what you've "come across". "100%" is quite a strong claim - have you investigated 100% of such releases? If not, you can't claim 100%.

You yourself mention that things could be different here. And what matters here is this release, not the tens/hundreds/thousands of other releases you've come across.

No dailyuploads link?

I've actually on numerous occasions requested refunds on USBDs through Rightstuf (rip) and gotten them accepted by showcasing the quality difference between regional discs. Basically was able to obtain them, rip them for the audio to put on JPBD video, and then return them and get my money back because they never lived up to the JPBD counterpart.

In the case of ReZero, they got enough backlash on the quality dip that funimation actually recalled them (though at the expense of the buyer paying the return shipping which imo was pretty bad). Still not sure what happened there but the quality was extremely below the usual bar set for usbds and vastly lower quality than the crunchyroll stream of the show. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/...cs/.143006

This is common knowledge amongst all encoders and bdmv sharers in the anime scene. I've never come across one that didn't have the gamma bug which results in the frames looking brighter or whitewashed. All you got to do is compare the Funimation discs to any of the web-dl's or JPBD in comparison. If you really want to go down this rabbit hole, look at any comparisons on slow.pics or bakabt comparison sites which include both the USBD and JPBD in the cases where the USBD was by Funimation.

No idea if things have changed with new USBDs under the Crunchyroll brand, but under the Funimation brand, every single disc I've looked at in the past decade has had this issue and I've looked at a great many of them.

At least adjusting the gamma a bit is a fairly simple fix if you really wish to encode the USBD. Unlike with Viz Media where they have on more than one occasion released USBDs in the wrong colorspace and detelecined progressive video... which royally screwed up colors and deleted frames.

"Don't care" sounds way too dismissive. I'm sure they do care, but perhaps not as much as you'd like.
Regardless, the quality is sufficient for people to be willing to pay for it. If the quality was too poor, people either wouldn't buy, or would import from a different region. In other words, the distributor has a financial incentive to ensure a reasonable level of quality.
Or it could be that your standard is much higher than the majority of folk out there. Or it could be that what is quality to you, differs from everyone else.

Quality is a subjective concept after all, and people can have varying opinions on it.

100% of blu-rays from funimation suffer from the gamma adjustment, so it's not a "faulty generalization".

Most US publishers don't care about the quality of their products, they just want to milk consoomers dry

the rape is clear as day

it's obviously lower quality than a remux, what the fuck are you yapping about

Automated submissions aren't customizing settings either.
Assuming your statement is true, defaults also tend to be a sensible choice in some context. They may not be your choice, but they make sense for someone.

It looks like you're making an argument from generalization. For this to actually have meaning, you need to show it to be relevant to this particular case.

It's also worth pointing out that the USBD has sufficient quality to be marketed and sold to a US audience. This doesn't mean the quality is high, just that it's high enough that people are willing to pay for it.

episode 46 ? not episode 26 ?

okay son.

When *you* claim to be nobody, I'm sure that's very true and will be true all your life.

the only v9's I've ever seen were timings with such attempts.

wrong. pretty much every dual-audio group muxes various sources together.

there is nothing that "doesn't work well".

Sounds like a skill issue, muxing is piss easy as long as the source isn't fucked

if you're going to have dual audio, you'll use the USBD.  Muxing different audio and video sources often doesn't work well.

For those crying of shitty quality. Lets make it interesting.

Here is a comp between iAHD USBD and JPBD Remux.

Which is which: https://slow.pics/c/iZDsIPTj

Only complain I have is of the better subtitles and signs available.

by "shitty one click" it's implied that iAHD doesn't customize settings in Handbrake to optimize quality and instead just runs with the default.

this also ignores the fact they encode the lesser quality USBD video source which usually has messed up gamma.

Usage of Handbrake doesn't imply high or low quality.
If your usage of 'shitty one click' is referring to low effort, I'd argue that automated 'zero click' rippers/remuxers are arguably of lower effort.

Pretending to be anonymous is pretty shitty.  For any who don't know, notice the lettering slant of the phony "anonymous".

no, it's lower quality than a remux.

Pretending to be admin is pretty shitty.  For any who don't know, notice the lettering slant of the phony "admin".

Whether it is high quality is debatable, it is an equivalent of a Remux but the size is approximately 6x smaller. The issue is he/she never includes better subtitles. If admins could fetch it then it would be appreciated simply for the USBD Audio.

You don't know much about politeness, do you? :)

iAHD is just a shitty one click handbrake encode. Nothing high quality about it.

shut your bitch ass up, iAHD is just raped kys

you don't know much about audio, do you?

I'd really like for this to be fetched as well.  Once again it's the only high quality blu-ray dual audio version available (the only other blu-ray dual audio versions are mini-encodes from 8 to 9 months ago that use crunchyroll web audio), and it is for 25 episodes.  So please?

Pretty sure it would've been more qualitative to just rip DSNP instead of making a cut on NF's audio (failure btw as we still hear the NF intro) but oh well lol

Quality differences

At this point, why not just rip DSNP's audio as well rather than make cuts with NF's audio? lol

As WEB-DL means untouched, I thought that applied to audio as well, my bad then.
Thanks for the explaination! :-)

> Can we really call that a WEBDL if it's been edited

Yes as long as the video hasn't been touched then it's a web dl

netflix intro has been cut out to match disney video, cope

It looks like the intro has been cut off as you can still hear the little mushroom walk sounds at the beginning....
Can we really call that a WEBDL if it's been edited?

files are corrupted like shite

bro you skipped 11 to 89 ep

tf?

I 2nd the request. Thanks

Fetch, please?

Yes, it has subs. It says in the description what fansubs it is if you go to Anidex.
