- I don’t care about what you’re saying unless you give me reason to.
- I don’t make the subs, I steal them. Complain elsewhere.
- I do this because I can, if I get bored I may just drop some shows and never pick them up again.
- If you want to use money, buy JP merchandise. If you don’t want to do that, donate to the subgroup?
- All releases will be watched at least once by me to check them, so any problems could just be on your side.
- I watch things using MPC-HC, Haali media splitter, madVR, Lavfilters, xy-vsfilter and AC3filter(for upmixing).
- I pick up whatever I want but am open for reasonable suggestions.
- I’m aware of the fact that you are entitled to your own opinion, but if some other group is better in your eyes, don’t bitch here, but go there.
- I’m still learning and I am open to all reasonable feedback, I am a fast learner so it could certainly pay off.
- I’m not looking for any help a.t.m., but if you are certain that I could use your help then I’ll gladly listen to you.
- If you can’t play it, check your codecs, if you still fail, upgrade your 5 year old budget laptop.
More to come.More is here!
Releases
Video
- Source will always be the best source available for me, this will usually be a BDMV/BDISO found on share/PD or maybe a .ts or dvdiso for some projects.
- Encodes will be done with the latest x264-10bit binary built by JEEB unless there is reason not to.
- Resolution will be the best that I can get from the source, this usually means 720-1080p for blu-ray but if it’s too much of an upscale it may be lowered.
- Cropping will be done on any sources that require it and may or not be mod16 in order to increase encode efficiency.
- Ratecontrol will be crf, no exceptions. Values will be chosen to optimise quality/filesize and in my case I can deal with a tiny loss of quality in order to get a smaller filesize. This will not be visible unless you freezeframe during action sequences and who does that anyway?
- Encoding may or may not be restricted to level 4.1, because less reference frames are easier on the CPU.
- The base settings are “–preset veryslow –tune animation” and the rest may or may not be fiddled with to get better quality.
- I filter video until I think it looks good, but our preferences may differ.
- Screenshots/PSNR/SSIM are a way to check video quality, but I don’t really use those. I use these amazing things called EYES to compare quality. If it looks nice, I watch it, if not I encode differently.
Audio
- Will be either AAC or Vorbis. (maybe AC3 for dvds)
- Recut using mkvmerge, sources either a Vorbis track encoded from Blu-ray audio or AAC from a broadcast.
- Blu-ray main audio tracks will be encoded to Vorbis@q7. (or AAC@q0.7 if I’m feeling weird)
- Commentary tracks will be included if I want to. Vorbis@q3.
- No I won’t use flac. If there is an amazing amount of demand I may give in and upload flac tracks to somewhere, but don’t count on it.
Subtitles
- I will use the group that I like, but may include other tracks if I want to put in the extra effort.
- I wait for v2’s unless the wait is way too long. This means no proper releases until that point.
- Dialogue will not be edited unless it’s obvious typo’s I stumble upon when QC-ing. Main reason being that I’m not a native.
- Typesetting will be altered to fit the new resolution or improved when I feel like it.
- Style will be the same, unless it’s horrible eyecancer.
- Timing is shifted and probably post-processed. If any obvious timing errors show up during QC they will be fixed.
- Groups I use will usually end up being in the “cartel”. Commie>gg>UTW=Underwater=WhyNot?=GotWoot>Whatever other groups.
- I enjoy lo(l)colizations and highly liberal translations. Trollsubs may be used if they make a show better. (though I may include a second track in that case)
Other stuff
- Container will be mkv for main releases, mka for extra audio tracks (commentary or maybe flactrack).
- Ordered chapters will be used whenever possible, so credits may show up on seperated OP/ED. I will probably include both a credited and creditless version that you can swap out to your liking
- Filename was like this: (but I’ll change it at some point) <Show_name> (Ep/(Creditless-)Opening/Ending/PV/SP)<nr> [<source>-<vres>p][Flep].(mkv/mka)
- I have to upload to my seedbox using either my 1mb/s home connection or maybe from work, but it can take a while for it to finish…
- If you want to help with Distro, contact me I guess.
- I may upload some v0 versions of releases. These will feature an encode that is probably final and the original script from a group, will be patched for batch.
