I'm sad that your last encode will be this trash instead of something worthy of your abilities like 0080. Oh well.

>>13885423
This is my all time favorite Gundam series.

Dude

>>13885423
Thanks senpai. The animation in this series is top notch so even though it's an old HD remaster it'd still look great.

I didn't even realize this got a BD. Thanks as usual but I'll wait for the superior OZC to do it!

Hell, what Gundam is even left that isn't on BD? 0080, G, and X?

>>13885839
That's literally it.

>>13885839
>G and X still don't have BDs
It hurts so much.

>>13885850
I could care less about X with the way it went to shit in the second half with the cancellation. But I'm still mad G isn't on BD yet.

All that animation on ones...

>>13885866
If/when G BDs ever happen you need to replace OP1 with the /m/ draws version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZlhyQcQ-wA

It's clearly superior in every way.

Oh, forgot to mention that like my DVD version, this release prioritizes the original stereo mix. I suggest everyone flip between that and the remix every so often to hear how awful it is.

Going all the way back to >>13884083
>I could be wrong, but I don't remember using additional DNR on the movie, it was a DNR'd mess on the BD.

Well no, what I mean is that the filters you used for the movie caused massive color saturation/smearing and loss of detail. (I think I still have the comparison screenshots I used to point this out some time ago...) Granted it's the compilation movie so not much of value was lost but I want to be sure that you're not using the same filters for this since the results were honestly quite hideous.

>>13886153
Incidentally I've listened to the 2006 remix on one viewing. Even toggling around at times, I have to fight you on your assertions over the years that they rerecorded the dialogue. Maybe some lines here and there if the elements were damaged but the only changes I noticed were in the sound mix. Each time I checked the actual performances were identical. Besides which it seems really unlikely that this was completely rerecorded like the Mobile Suit Gundam trilogy as that would have been astronomically expensive at a time when they were already paying to remaster the visuals (part of why the trilogy got a new sound mix was due to pre-Dolby 2.0 anime film soundtracks being stored on hand-spliced magnetic tape).

>>13885851
Really the only things X's cancellation affected were the loss of a proper space arc, Pala kinda getting thrown by the wayside, and the loss of Ennil's Gundam (and then probably Carris coming back as something that happened because of the cancellation?). Like with 0079, they still did the final arc more or less as intended.

A bluray would be nice... but X really isn't the prettiest series. At all.

>>13886184
I ate ur mum's plum last night.

>>13886290
Every show that can should get a bluray release at some point just so it can be preserved in better quality. A lot of shows that currently only have DVD rips suffer a lot in quality.

To be fair, you could say that of any cel anime to later be proven wrong. I used to think that Wing looked like crap until the blu-rays revealed some amazing details like these scorch marks on Epyon's verniers. Even ignoring cherry-picked frames such as this, the background paintings alone are gorgeous and the same thing will absolutely be true for X.

>>13885423
That's all well and good, and thanks for the work, but
next disc of Victory when?

Such bullshit that the two prettiest Gundam things ever, 0083 and 08th MS Team, have this fucking shit crushed blacks ancient "HD" masters.

And let's not even talk about how much they've ruined Char's Counterattack and F91 with their filtering.

>In our lifetime G Gundam will look like this

>>13886264
But this isn't an assertion, it's documented on the 2006 boxset marketing. They brought the cast back together for it. Regardless, I don't see how you can consider the performances comparable.

>>13886264
Why would the archival film masters not have an optical stereo track on the film?

>>13886667
The only time animation ever gets an optical audio track on the film is the theatrical prints (if a theatrical release ever happens) and those aren't what's archived. The original negatives are the masters. They're produced before any audio is recorded.

Sup bros, just dropping into this thread to say that 0083, especially the first half of the series, is the worst Gundam anime ever made, and that if you like it you should feel bad.

In all honesty, a lot of people said the same about GaoGaiGar.

And now look at the Blu Rays...it's insane at how much work they put on that series.

>>13885423
cima did nothing wrong.

>>13886837
shitty DVDs made from broadcast tapes or Laserdisc masters do a real disservice to so many shows. Blu Rays are really showing us how amazing the late 90's were, what a peak in animation and painting it was. It feels like we've barely recovered, though all animation transfering to digital pain and the economy of anime just imploding.

And it's not that I want to be some kinda film snob and talk about "the texture of the emulsion" but digital paint was supposed to make things easier, nowhere on the box did it say it had to make everything look like shit for 10 years.

>>13886421
same thing happened with patlabor.
the us bd is way better.

>>13886872
What about the scat

>>13886878
Blu-rays made from Laserdiscs are a thing. Look at the origianal Blu-ray for 1939's Gullivar's Travels.

>>13886934
I mean in general of course. Aside from the kind of crooks and robbers that you'll never get rid of, BDs mostly made it so that you could no longer fool people with shitty upscales, forcing a lot of companies to actually put some effort into things, like re-cutting Star Trek TNG from the original negatives instead of just releasing the awful broadcast tapes again.

Why it is somehow acceptable to release SD quality material on a Blu-ray is beyond me, that just screams bad business practices.

>>13886966
I think it would be better if early digital shows were just released as SD and not given Q-Tec upscales. Some shows had bad DVD's and needed the upgrade to MPEG4 codecs. I think someone once said FLCL was a show that needed this treatment, but instead we got two different upscales, one by Gainax and the other Funimation, and I hear neither are good but I've never seen the raw images compared.

Sometimes filmed anime get SD Blu-rays just because the owners don't give a shit, like God Mars.

>>13887008
This is true. No good copy of the show really exists, as the DVDs could never keep up with the animation, and the BDs are horrific upscales from both regions. What we really need is a neutral upscale at BD bitrates, that takes advantage of the master tape's better color resolution as well.

>>13887097
But that'll never happen because the market wants sharp unblurry images without any grain.

It's a shame they can't re-render it like Gurren Lagann, but they probably don't have the files anymore because Japan is retarded like that.

>>13887097
I have to ask, is there any "best" for FLCL? I have the Kagura and Coalgirls (actually a remux that adds some stuff) releases and I consider Kagura to be a better encoder but he used the JP BD while Coalgirls used Funimation.

>>13887100
I think it's more of a very cynical effort to get people to buy the Blu-rays. Companies think no one will buy the discs if they are "not HD" so they stretch the picture to ungodly proportions and try to pass it off to people who don't know any better. Funimation's treatment of Cowboy Bebop seems to indicate this, because I'm very sure Gen thought that no-one would by a 1080i Blu-ray because muh p. In similar incidents, plastering the Orange Bricks onto BD while cancelling the Level sets and their utter disregard for bitrate on Lain prove that at the very least Funi is guilty.

>>13887108
I think with Funi they are doing what people want, and not doing what is right, but I can hardly blame them for trying to keep the business afloat. If people complain about grainy 4:3 images and would rather have that cropped aquarel look that Funimation shat out instead, then sadly that's how it has to be. I've no doubt that Funimation knows they lose customers that way but they know that they are picking the way more populous side that thinks everything was made for widescreen and that a 4:3 image means things are missing.

>>13886637
It sure fooled me then because I didn't notice ANY notable differences in the timing and delivery at all despite swapping tracks many times. My ears aren't even that bad, honestly. If anything the rhythm matched up but sounded more "warped" to me, as if they tried to upmix and remix the audio and somehow distorted it. I suppose the truth then is that the director MUST have emphasized matching beats above everything else (i.e. ADR, when animation and voices are typically done in separate studios) and to that end I guess they did a real bang up job despite the results sounding decidedly inorganic even to a deceived listener.

>>13886667
Because anime films DIDN'T use stereo as industry standard until the mid-eighties and especially not digital. They mastered the audio on magnetic film which required up to two dozen reels to run multiple layers of sound in full synchronization. Naturally, that all had to be compressed into an extremely lossy optical waveform to be played in theaters which had the additional side effect of noise from dirt and scratches.

So big deal, why not just use the original magnetic film? Because studios didn't keep master copies of anything other than the finalized optical waveform printed to film. This is why old anime films sound like garbage unless there has been extensive remastering. (For an example of a raw transfer, go watch the DVD version of Crusher Joe - it's awful!) At the time, Sunrise and Tomino opted to just redo everything from scratch for the MSG trilogy's theatrical re-release.

>>13887227
At the end of episode 1, listen to Gato speaking to Galy, followed by Kou telling to him he's not going anywhere. In the original, Gato sounds commanding, and the voice is really in the chest, while the remix sounds like he's tired and reading a script. Similarly, Kou's delivery is fast but clear in the original, whereas the remix almost sounds like he tried to speak the line at twice the speed.

>>13887259
I for one stopped listening to the remix after a few minutes because I thought it sounded like shit compared to the original.

>>13887108
The "best" consumer source, to my knowledge, is actually the limited run of the compiled boxset that was released in R1. It features a newer encode over the original R1 DVD, though it might be slightly softer. The big problem with the DVD version was the breakup during high motion, high contrast scenes, and FLCL is FULL of them.

>>13887227
>Because anime films DIDN'T use stereo as industry standard
Sailor Moon was mono through the end of the series in Sailor Stars

>>13886882
I was actually surprised by how better they actually looked, compared to the Jap BDs. And I used to think the Jap BDs looked fine, but compared to the US BDs it actually looks very poor

>>13887259
I've already relented! Allow me to reiterate that I watched one version (5.1) all the way through on an isolated viewing and not both versions start to finish. I relied on arbitrary scenes for a quick comparison whenever it occurred to me that it didn't seem all too different from what I remembered. Obviously, I didn't sink any battleships with that method,. Not even when I went for major scenes like the nuking of Solomon. This is why your descriptions add up to my conclusion just a few moments ago that they used heavy ADR to replicate the original rather than letting it be wildly different for higher quality performances the way Tomino did things for the trilogy.

>>13887313
I came to that conclusion too, sorry. It's definitely obvious that it was strict ADR.

>>13885873
I'm pretty sure he needs to replace it with this version.

>>13887297
I'll look into this. I don't think anyone has done anything with any DVD versions of FLCL in a long time, the catalog of encodes of them on AB seem to indicate this. My video encoding skills are pretty weak honestly, and my hardware is poor so I tend to stick with remuxes for the small output of anime stuff I've worked on. x264 runs really slow when encoding on my shockingly poor laptop (HP from Wal-mart in 2010) and it's a pain because I don't want to speed it up and ruin everything.

One day. And when it does, it will be glorious.

>>13886535
They have to, if they want to give the US Gundam market some lipservice sooner or later.

>>13887315
Yeah, I admit that it fooled me pretty hard. For what it is worth, it's a fair replication since it wasn't distracting enough all on its own pace (the sound effects are much worse) but it's also not that I didn't notice that anything was off about it at times. I just naturally took it as the levels being tampered since the delivery was superficially identical, like maybe they didn't have the original elements and had to remix some lines after isolating them from the BGM and effects.

>>13887338
If you want to get really insane, you could lay the chroma channels from the BD version beneath the luma of the DVD, and meet them at 720p, that way you get the color advantages of the upscale.

>>13888783
I'm kinda getting through Victory in big chunks, since the discs are much more to tackle (7 eps each), whereas 0083 is obviously much shorter. It is moving along, don't worry about it, but I'd like to have 0083 out by sometime in the next two weeks. It won't take me long at all really, but sitting down to setup encodes and do the final muxes does require I set aside from time here and there.

>>13888783
But Amar killed Lala.

>>13888601
I don't know man, BOTH versions really fail to contend with the soundtrack's scenery chewing. If there's one thing I can tell you all tracks have in common it's that 0083 loves its overly dramatic strings and stingers.

>>13889096
At least one of the tracks is a direct rip of a track from The Thing, so they probably went in that direction.

>>13887338
Finally home to setup the download, btw. I'm actually somewhat curious about this chroma merging trick now. If the results are worth it, I'll give you the script and you can feel free to make a release if you want.

>>13889074
Oh, I see, I forgot you were releasing Victory in batches per disk/and per box. Thanks again, so far from the first episode comparisons, it looks great. I've been pretty excited for the BD release of 0083 and I am glad that you are able to put it our so efficiently.

>>13889082
No, you see, LaLa was forced into the war by chair and then amar was forced to killed her. This is why he lives in a retirement home on earth in Zeta. Also something newtypes.

>>13889096
>>13889107
Speaking of 0083's soundtrack, The Hateful Eight used SOLAR SYSTEM during one of the scenes a couple of times. What's up with that?

>>13885423
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


OP YOU ARE FUCKING BASED EXCUSE ME WHILE I MASTURBATE TO THE ANIMATION

>>13889230
Solar System is the track that's ripped from The Thing. It's possible Hateful Eight was using the actual original version (it sounds literally note for note for 75% of the song).

Thanks, bro.

>>13889252
It's not just possible, The Hateful Eight's score was composed by Ennio Morricone himself. But Tarantino being Tarantino, he obviously wouldn't settle for that alone and lifted Morricone music from other soundtracks as well.

>>13889469
>I had an originality once and it was awful.

Guess I'll ask in here - what subtitles is RX using in his Victory encodes?

>>13889108
I'm thinking about it. It's an interesting idea. I'd like to try something like that on my own with Vapoursynth since I use AutismOS (I try to avoid Wine since I'm a sperg). Not sure whether to download the R2 or Ultamite DVD's. I assume I should probably get one of the raw BD images as well.

I'm the guy who's been trying to remux your Zeta V2's, I'm just not using a trip because this isn't my thread. I should get back to those before I do antything. I won't blog but my life and mental health are in shambles. I'll have episode eight up by the day's end.

>>13890665
Conjecture on ADC says the ultimate R1 has superior picture, but skimming it, I still see noticeable artifacting in fast scenes.

Maybe the best solution would be upscaling the show in clean parts, and cutting to the BD for overcompressed fast parts.

>>13891627
FFmpeg claim's their new native AAC encoder is mature enough to match FDK. I don't know if that code has been pushed into any stable releases yet. Non-free codecs really are a pain in the ass when it comes to deciding which implementation to use, Jesus. I'd like Opus to go somewhere but it looks like it's stuck to use in webm's, even if Youtube uses it in certain videos. I just realzied you were talking about the idea of switching to qaac and not FDK. My mind is elsewhere. Herkz once said to use qaac when Nyaa had a chat but Herkz is also fucking retarded.

>>13890692
That's an idea. Would waifu2x suffice as an upscaler? I used it for two of my wallpapers (one seen here) and it seemed to work nice. I have a locally downloaded version, and there are versions made for both Avisynth and Vapoursynth. Would the final edit have to be in a non-linear editor?
I once had an idea of doing something like this with the American Kite Blu-ray.

>>13893053
(cont.)
The Kite Blu-ray is half gorgeous 35mm scanned film and the rest of it is a dog-shit upscale. Kentai proved that a much simpler upscale proved to be better than whatever they did.
If someone really wanted to go batshit they could edit the sex scenes back into it. I happen to have a lossless audio source from the JP BD (eww) that I could edit to. Too ambitious for one man but it's an idea. Maybe when I have a new PC.

>>13893053
Waifu2x is slow as fuck, no? Nnedi3 is probably ideal. As for an NLE, no, if your sources are frame-identical, you could theoretically do it all with trim commands.

Check both nyaa.se and bakabt.me.
Look under [EG], everything should be there. If it's not on one site it'll be on the other.

>>13893735
I was just clarifying on 0083, your post doesn't indicate that you know that.

As to the rest, the answer to your query is in the thread.

Victory is currently WiP and he's gotten through about half of it so far.

>>13893744
Oh, fuck you.

Fuck off you cunt. This isn't /r/ or /t/, but it's not /a/ either.

I was just hoping that there was some place where all the Mega links were still up; I know about Nyaa and BakaBT. I can't torrent as of right now due to local internet, so...

Admittedly I didn't know that RX and the [EG] downloads were related, either.

Thank you RX. For giving us EG BD 0083.

That time has finally come.

DVD cover art > BD cover art

RX, how do you personally convert DTS-MA and TrueHD to FLAC? I have some raw audio files in those formats taken from a some BD's (that I don't have) and the DTS-MA FLAC file ballooned in size and was coded as 24bit FLAC when the source file is 16bit in FFmpeg. Also the TrueHD file was from a Funimation BD and I read they just bloated their TrueHD files to 24bit when it is only 16bit's of information.

>>13894274
use eac3to and pirate ArcSoft DTS Decoder

i downloaded the bdmv.
wat do?

>>13894284
This. I use a FLAC intermediary anyway since these discs use the antiquated method of encoding every episode in one file. I rip the whole file to FLAC in both stereo and surround, then load the audio in avisynth so that my episode trim commands also cut the audio. That in turn, is fed to ffmpeg.

My dick is so hard right now.
It's a shame that the VD source isn't as good as it could be. But that's why we love EG, since he's autistic enough to fix it about as much is possible without having direct access to the film masters.

Would it be possible to get some seedage on Victory Disc 2.

I'm stalled at 95%

>>13897325
The sun? The outlines around every character/thing?

>>13897333
>The outlines around every character/thing?
that is called haloing. an artifact when you oversharpen. that is not fine detail.

>The sun?
eg clearly tried to recover the the shadows, but they're already crushed and remove the yellow colour grading.
this was done on the whole frame and not the shadow area only.

ocz is just a straight up encode.
eg tries to correct the dumb shit studios do.

>>13897372
ok its even easier to see here how EG is more blurry and the detail loss on every line/thing, not just outline

>>13897404
Hi, [OZC]

Nobody is gonna download your shit after you chumped out.

Yeah fuck that guy for wanting to use the entire screen of his laptop he fucking paid for. If you seriously fell for the aspect ratio meme you're a retard who got ripped off.

Is Stardust Memory written in an actual font, or is it custom work?

Them's some fancy letters.

>>13897561
Stretching video to "get what you paid for" would be like getting a cat and then vivisecting it on your wall with all the organs on display so you can "get what you pay for".

>>13895691
Is there a technical reason why OZC's stuff is always so dark?

>>13898347
I think it's less his being dark, but [EG] apply filters to make things brighter. He showed in the last thread what he wanted his filters to do with 0083 and making it brighter was part of it. The actual transfer is very dark in a few places, so I think making it brighter here overall works to it's advantage

I can't speak for everything else though, and I might be mis-remembering, but I think that's the case here.

>>13898384
>The actual transfer is very dark in a few places,

Ah that's what I was wondering most. Thanks for answering.

>>13898347
In this case especially, Bandai just mastered 0083 that way on purpose. The darkness on a lot of his encodes aren't actually because "lolfilters" like we typically dilute complaints about him into but instead partly because Bandai usually hires the same lazy hacks to do their remastering. OZC's actual encoding practices are better likened to being straight source rips with noise reduction. Incidentally, it's EG encodes that use more drastic filtering to counteract such pitfalls with the official source.

>>13897428
>Watching anime on a laptop

Seems such a waste.

>>13897667
OZC took all his work offline because he wants people to buy the blurays.

His mom works at Sunrise.

Here is what I want to know OZC: are you going to reupload your work when those blurays are OOP in a few years?

>>13898536
Of course he won't. It only adds to his sense of smug self-satisfaction that there are some people who can't download his stuff, especially when there are no good alternatives for that particular anime available. It makes him feel important.

>>13898536
That's insanely pointless when people have been uploading his stuff all over trackers for years.

Man, Nyaa is so fucked. I've been trying to download the EG Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star releases for the last 2 days and the downloads have now both completely stopped at around 80%.

>>13898536
That's a reasonable thing to do.
People should buy the things they download because it isn't available hwre when it becomes available here.

>>13898536
So somebody whose work nobody claims to like anyway ceases distribution and nobody reuploads it as a result of his low market value.

No, this is not an affront worthy of persistent, impotent rage. That is cause and effect at work. If this had anything to do with G-Reco in particular (which he pulled aggravatingly soon after completing), it may also be in part because he and the show were both unpopular enough that nobody kept up to date with his releases.

>>13898536
This is why you have an AB account.

You're aware that OZC oversharpened on top of the already edge enhanced BD, right? It's true that mine appears softer, but let's not pretend his is actually sharper. I did no form of noise reduction on this, and only removed the extra halos on the BD.

>>13899044
This is mine. Yes, it's perceptually softer than the others, but doesn't have the ugly halos. OZC actually did an okay job on this one, since he didn't seem to use any DNR, and the encode itself is generous in bitrate (our file sizes are very close), but it's effort expended in the most unhelpful manner.

Seriously so much anime and manga would have disappeared were it not for piracy.

Good luck watching Last Exile or Scrapped princess without torrents.

Last Exile isn't really that rare on dvd.

>>13903564
How long did it take you to learn how to encode and all that shit.

You could have phrased your first post better, pal.
If you post in an RX782 thread about his new release, referring to another show's release, it's common sense to think you mean you want to know when is *he* going to release Turn A on BD.
I had no idea you were talking about a licensed Turn A on BD in the West.

>>13904866
why are we feeding the trolls?

Hey RX, why is it that you didn't wanna do EoE?

Frankly I don't mind cause EoTV is far superior, but was curious.

At least they have uncensored and subbed Angel Cop.
Speaking about AC, is the manga translation done yet?

>>13905727
The source sucks, and I didn't want to deal with it.

>>13905775
Cool, thanks nonetheless.

I don't know if RX would be upset if I posted this in his thread or not, but since my thread is gone I'll do it here. I was adding subs to the Zeta V2's, but as of last Friday I was thrown out of the house by my mother, and she's holding my electronics and elderly cat hostage. I will try to get my things back today or tomorrow and continue. I'm so sorry. I really am.

>>13908152
Talk about a bizarre situation. Hope you are doing alright.

>>13904816
>>13904846
Never gonna happen. It's a miracle they even released it on DVD before rereleasing something like G or Wing.

>>13908152
This isn't your fucking blog, we don't need daily updates on your pathetic life. If you're going to work seriously on Zeta then do it, if not then stop posting with a name/trip.

>>13908152
Uh... good luck with that? I understand the need to vent but TMI can open you up to hostilities around these parts. Anyway, hope things get better and you can get back to work soon.

>>13908287
Wow asshole. That's pretty fucking rude.

>>13908835
He's right though, that's the rules. We can either abide them or screw off to reddit. He should have said "some stuff happened it's delayed".

>>13885423
i don't mean to be that faggot, but are you doing Origin episode 2?

>>13908933
He dropped Origin.

>>13908879
I think it's fine to provide a reason why instead of keeping us in the dark.

>>13908945
but his encode of episode 1 was so fucking good

>>13908879
>that's the rules.
[citation needed]

>>13908879
Here are my suggestions for how to deal with perceived rule breaking:

1) Report and then ignore. Yeah, I know. "LOL you think there are mods on /m/!" or whatever but if they get spammed with enough report flags then they'll step in just to cut the noise. If that's the kind of thing that's so unlikely that you can't be bothered to try then I posit that the only gainful reason to micromanage an infraction is because you find gratification in punishing others.

2) Skip to phase 2 and ignore it. Ask yourself how much positive influence your input will really have on public discourse and if it won't then decide against investing emotionally in "putting that one asshole in his place" over something silly.

That's what I think. Take it or leave it but in my opinion, I think strategies like that have a better outcome toward seizing control over outside influences on your everyday life than impotently policing individual behavior on 4chan does. Because the way things have played out so far, I don't think you're any more in control of this scenario than the rest of us else are.

>>13885851
I would want to see X in BD because it's so damn dark in the releases we have.

>>13909305
Also, all the rips of X seem to have slightly offer audio.

>>13908152
I don't appreciate that the people here have been unkind to you; however, it probably is better for your sake to stay away from 4chan with those kinds of feelings just because the reactions are bound be unsympathetic.

Do yourself a favor and take a break. If you want to work on it, be my guest, but don't put yourself at personal/emotional/psychological risk for /m/'s sake. We all have things to take care of in our lives, which is the very reason I'm quitting once Victory and 0083 are done, so don't apologize for your own issues in life. Take a break, do what you need to do, and come back only if you feel like it.

Oh shit man. I didn't look further into your thread because I didn't want to raise my hype levels until the project was nearing completion. I'm so very sorry about this. Don't worry about Zeta or other /m/ nonsense. While I personally appreciate the effort, you've got to take care of yourself and your family problems first. All the best in sorting things out.
