tldr if I don't reencode the audio to opus, the audio size will be bigger than the video. then again, if your goal is reducing the size, more power to you.

I stopped reading at "I've encoded 256Kbps AAC to 128Kbps Opus plenty of times". This is the proof that you have no idea what you're doing. Sad.

Your inability to show proof speaks volumes.

I've encoded 256Kbps AAC to 128Kbps Opus plenty of times, halving file sizes with no perceptible loss in quality, at least to my ears. That's plenty of benefit for encoding lossy audio to another lossy audio format.
If you can't acknowledge that, you're either insanely stupid or a conceited bigot.

Hey, it's all quite simple. The original E-AC3 5.1 640kbps audio stream in Netflix sources is ~120MB in size, and transcoding to Opus 128kbps after downmixing to stereo reduces the size to ~20MB with minimal discernable quality losses.

You are free to disagree with that last statement, but in this case I hardly understand why you'd get my release to begin with since the video quality loss is much more important.

You will not see me reencode clearly lossy audio (128-192kbps) any lower, because there's little benefits to that. The idea that lossy audio should never be reencoded under no circumstances is dumb. You are always reencoding from a lossy video (unless you got access to masters? Personally I don't.) but the difference is that the potential for compression is usually much higher. It's rarely the case for audio because most online services only serve already heavily compressed audio. Netflix's highest tier surround streams have quite a high bitrate, with a high potential for further compression down the line.

As you may know, 128kbps Opus is transparent in most cases (even more so when it's an audio track and not actual music). You may discern a quality difference with great audio gear or in rare, well-documented, edge cases, however the audio quality remains much higher than the video quality, even compared to Netflix's own video stream I'd argue, so let alone mine.

All in all, this choice was driven by the fact reencoding E-AC3 5.1 640kbps -> Opus 2.0 128kbps saves more than 2GB in the release total size, which results in almost a 50% size reduction. As for the downmixing, I don't expect many of the users that download my weekly releases to have surround sound systems.

If you don't like any of this, I invite you to get another release that better suits your needs.

Was this dropped?

Why not share a patch or the subtitles here? I don't think it's really worth fetching. There's no real benefit in processing this torrent again.

There's no real benefit in encoding lossy audio to another lossy audio format. If you need proof to validate your lack of knowledge, you can google it. it's not that hard.

If you downloaded this, you only have yourself to blame.

Stop using Movies & TV.

Proof?

Can you fetch this one? We've added extra 5 subtitles + Chaps for every episode along with some typo fixes to existing ones.

1500 downloads on Nyaa, no complaints.

The question is, why the fuck doesn't the ENGLISH AUDIO work? (you need to add a comment type for "Concern")

Thirded!

There's benefit to encoding lossy video to even lossier, but not really for audio.

Arigato

LOL, source video is lossy too, why bother reencode it in the first place...

why would someone reencoded E-AC-3 (lossy) to Opus (Lossy)?

Let them cook but don't let this one cook.

even with my extremely basic japanese these subs feel off

he ain't cooking

No, the bluray's audio itself is bad

speak English nigga wtf

i hope you realize these are ChatGPT subs and numerous lines are inaccurate

Salchow subs are perfectly fine. Weebs get so fucking worked up over minor things. Go outside.

wdym? can you elaborate?

wait. let them cook.

ikwym, latest codec = bad?

not how it works

the source itself is fucked

audio quality is really bad

The english subs are from episode 1. This has been known for hours now.

the sub is not constant, have gap and or missing subs.
anyone agree?

Yes, please, seconded!

Please consider fetching this one. Seems to be the first BD release and size seems reasonable, it's just a 2-cour. Thanks :)

Thx

Great work. If you only saved the first half of this series too. All batch releases will be using the other garbage Mickey Mouse clown subs.

Honestly if you're stupid enough to download a rar file and run a batch file when you normally expect a video file, you deserve to get infected at that point

They read comments on pages and have deleted this one (banner at top of page) which means it has been removed from listings and search.

I unpacked the zip compress, there are bat commands I open using txt, forcing the fool to install adware, your computer will be flooded with ads and cannot be removed.
