That's awesome man. As great as SOM releases are, sometimes you don't have enough free space. Are you planning to do the same with the movies? Thanks.

Hi BurguilloTeam If there is enough interest in it. Then Ill do those.

the colors and resolution are wrong on your release source: 704x352 (anamorphic) Color primaries: BT.601 NTSC Transfer characteristics: BT.601 Matrix coefficients: BT.601 you: 704x540 (non-anamorphic) Color primaries: BT.709 Transfer characteristics: BT.709 Matrix coefficients: BT.709 i did a test encode with 2000kbps bitrate and used qaac/deew for the audio and the total size was 552MB per episode. with quick math, the total size would be 84GB. i'm sure even 1000kbps or 1500kbps would be good enough. here are some comparisons between SoM, you, and my test encode; https://slow.pics/c/nwQ1rLyv

The bt 709 was intentional. Works better for HD displays. Colors are the same. as Stated above, I'm not trying to make it as small as possible. Just trying to maintain the current quality with the HEVC codec. I'm not aiming for good enough, Idea is to maintain current quality.

how many times are we gonna get this release https://nyaa.raphtalia-al.ru/view/1736157 is good enough, and it's 1/3rd the size of this release

@zetsu_shoren that is not the V2 release

@zetsu_shoren if you worried about size i got you https://nyaa.raphtalia-al.ru/view/1281700

[@Godim](https://nyaa.raphtalia-al.ru/view/2124100#com-3) interesting choice of first comp

HEVC tends to smooth fine textures and film grain more aggressively than AVC, especially in anime and grainy content. If you apply a Rec. 709 matrix to footage originally recorded in Rec. 601 without performing a true color conversion (i.e., if you only change the container's label or flag), you'll cause a display error known as color shifting. When performing metric comparisons between HEVC, AVC, and AV1 using ffmpeg-quality-metrics, the results favor AVC in first place, followed by AV1. That said, it's your project, so enjoy it.

Thanks for that, I did put it through the correct math calculations process. There may be a slight shift in saturation or luminous. But the colors haven't shifted to different colors, like from red to orange. That being said. Playing bt 601 on a HD display will display slightly different from the original source. We can pull out all the specs and do all the side by side comparisons. But actually watch it on your TV and decide from there.
