[APTA Scans] Natsume Yuujinchou the Movie - Ephemeral Bond (BD 1280x720 x264 AAC).mkv

finally non-meme subs

also a bit in awe at how bad the encoding settings are. you should probably just use some random raw if you don’t know what you’re doing lol.

wow herkz is such a hater, always complaining about objectively bad encodes.

btw Nanten is 難転 not 南天

encoding is very complicated and hard to learn which is why i said to just use some other raw. i think almost any other encode would be better than what you did since you basically used some of the worst x264 settings possible. the main profile is basically for hardware devices like phones, but they can’t handle complicated softsubs like your karaoke anyway, so there’s no reason to absolutely ruin your video quality like that.

also not sure why you didn’t include the 5.1 audio in either version.

the 5.1 audio at a sane bitrate would barely be bigger than your bloated 2.0 audio. and 1-2gb for a movie isn’t big regardless.

as for encoding, just look at what settings other encoders are using and copy them. there’s a lot more to it than that (like filtering with avisynth or vapoursynth, which all anime needs since they all have banding you want to fix), but you could improve the video quality a lot just by doing that. 10-bit especially is very, very good for anime.

i think the best advice would to be apply to some existing fansub groups. i doubt there’s any that don’t need translators. then they can handle the other stuff while you learn and teach you at the same time.

ignorance is bliss.
