so where's your academic evidence? You also haven't provided anything yet.

*Best at low bitrates

It has impressively small file sizes while still looking great and basically indistinguishable from a bloated HEVC or H264 encode for 99.9% of people. So in other words it's basically the exact thing a video compression codec is meant to accomplish. I'd say it's the best.

Sounds like a skill issue on their part.

Yes it is. Direct plays just fine for me. Maybe your hardware is old and just doesn't support it.

Someone in this string likes to pretend that they know things about other anons that they can't and don't.  It's a silly type of trolling.

Well, your comments aren't bright so I'm not going to worry about them.

> For the thing you saw on the top left of the video on this episode is a credit of the team who worked on it

but why?

[removed]

from your comment, I don't think so...

I'm not sure which one are you talking about, but here's my take about it:

1. It might be a bit controversial take, but for our fansub release, we do have an out-of-bound/"invisible" (pos at 1920x1080, or utilizing iclip) subtitle line that should visible and warns people who used unsupported players or even fanstream sites that don't do hardsub (especially for HiA.... site).

We're cool for any fanstream that do hardsubbing because we don't want to hear people getting mad over broken typesetting just because their player doesn't support ASS nicely, or even got converted to SRT. We got this complains over and over from that particular site, so we did this extreme measure. For this particular episode, we didn't put that since no heavy typesetting has been added.

2. For the thing you saw on the top left of the video on this episode is a credit of the team who worked on it. I don't consider it as watermark as you can easily remove it from your subtitle editor and it's pretty much one cut length, but morally speaking, it's better to leave it for attribution. (and Nyaa doesn't have the clause related to it, so yeah)

3. And if you're talking about the previews on the entry page.... it's a watermark for the preview itself, not actual video. I added it so I can troubleshoot wtf happened with my previewer script kek XD

Got to love these kinds of comments. Instead of relying on academic evidence, they just spit out the same nonsense from 'tech' sites on the internet.

last I checked watermarks weren't allowed on nyaa...

Correction its the best if you are watching it on cheap shit devices or are trying to save space but otherwise hell no not even close.

These episodes are out of order
2 and 3 are actually episodes 10 and 11

On recent hardware

av1 is not good for plex

Though if you use an out-of-date media player, it'll take like 5x as much CPU (and struggle to play at full speed on older PCs), which is why so many people dislike it.

Yes this is AV1, the seven year old codec that has a lower cpu% playback than hevc and is playable by any up-to-date media player software.

The best codec.

Yes, you can even check the mediainfo!

AV1

> Sure, keep telling yourself that...

Why do you keep convincing me that you have skill issues? I already believe you. VLC is really good for you but just not for me and other people with working brain.

You're actively experiencing all of those issues, you're just choosing to turn a blind eye to them. I know that you normally wouldn't notice such things, however deliberately saying you're not experiencing them is disingenuous.

> That's what people with skill issues would say.

Sure, keep telling yourself that...

> So you prefer all of this?

I don't experience those issues with VLC.
The only issues I've had are path link too long or someone's great idea of 100mb+ subs. Both easy to fix.

> I have MPC and MPV but still prefer VLC

So you prefer all of this? https://rentry.co/vee-ell-cee

That's what people with skill issues would say.

shut upppp

Damn, I already know you're too lazy to learn to use mpv. You don't really have to convince me. I believe you.

> I have MPC and MPV but still prefer VLC.
nice meme.
>

People are only bothered when those user complain about releases not working in their players with known problems like in this situation

That's great.  It's hard to understand people who are bothered by what others use.

I think most people just want to watch anime.  Only a few want to work harder than they have to  to do that.

I have MPC and MPV but still prefer VLC.

I think it's a lot to ask of many VLC users.  But yeah, not rocket science.

Sorry, wrong anon, I prefer VLC. Like I said it's preference (not skill) and I do have other players.

>MPV candidates don't need to ask for help.

I literally asked for help when I started using mpv. The thing is I'm not lazy and willing to learn how to use mpv. It's not rocket science.

SDH [eng, SRT] matches english audio well (AKA "dubtitles")

That's why I never recommend mpv.  People who ask for help need a player suited to their needs, so I recommend K-Lite.  MPV candidates don't need to ask for help.

Then be surprised.

yes it does and you know it too well. that's why you use potplayer for its convenience.

"Never encountered any."
I would be surprised if you were able to. And probably you never will...

Skill has nothing to do with it, it's preference.
Gotta love these anons that push their preference against someone else's.

skill issues.

Yeah, I have mpv too but it's not as convenient for me.

And I like to track what all the players are doing.

mpv solos

I use potplayer as my primary player.  If there were any additional offers on the install (long ago, don't recall) I would have declined them and nothing happened since.  As a player, it's a nice step up from MPC-HC.

my potplayer doesn't.
