Well I wasn't just being lazy, I had another project that I was working on before starting this one, and I was lazying out on that instead. I wasn't really happy with how it was turning out, and it was a lot of work, so I ended up just dropping that after a few months trying to convince me I should finish it. Thanks to that I finally could start working on other things again. If I thought my "recent" BD releases have been becoming overkill, this one crosses all the boundaries: Using an experimental fork of lavish, with even further tuning, and basically at CQ11. aomenc enjoyers, this way please ¬u¬ Now to address the elephant in the room: why changing to FLAC all of a sudden? It is quite simple actually. I'm moving to lossless, and although usually WavPack would win, ever since that commit to add multithreading to FLAC, pushing it further has became more viable than ever. Testing on the first 4 episodes, FLAC did compressed better than WavPack by a little bit. It still takes 2 to 3 times longer to encode than WavPack but it is still fast enough to be perfectly bearable, and a technical victory is still a victory, so I went with FLAC instead. I'll really try to not change codecs again every release, but WavPack still seem to perform better with music and at multichannel, but we'll see, the differences are close enough between them now that I could just settle with FLAC for a while. The FLACs on this release were made using options that require the usage of `--lax`, so I can't say for sure it will work on 100% of things that stricter FLACs does. I still haven't found something that can't play them, but do mind that. Another change from the usual is, better named chapters! No more Part A and Part B, this time I named them according to the section name on both the AniDB page and the in episode name. I don't know how I never thought about doing that before... The MediaInfo on the Links section is of the episode 02 because episode 01 had a single section which was divided into I and II, episode 02 has two proper different chapter names. The scans should be all 1200dpi, I confess I haven't checked every single one of them but most of them are so... Note that on Windows, your explorer window may hang for a long time upon entering the scans folder (well, the folders inside it like Vol.01, Vol.02..., where the images are actually located). That is normal, just give it time and let it think and it will eventually come back. The time it hangs seem to vary with disk speed as well. As mentioned on the top, the scans folder for this one is quite big. You can save about 11.5GB if you don't download them. --- As usual, my releases are meant to be watched using [mpv](https://mpv.io/) and listened using [Foobar2000](https://www.foobar2000.org/). It probably works on other players but that is beyond me. For veryfing the hashes you can use [rhash](https://sourceforge.net/projects/rhash/files/rhash/1.4.3/), on a terminal go to the top level folder of the release and `rhash --check --blake2s ".\Extras\Hashes\BLAKE2s.txt"`, of course changing the `--blake2s` and the txt file name to the hash you want to verify. You can view the JXL files with [mpv](https://mpv.io/), by simply dragging and dropping it there or calling it via command line and passing the image path, or if you prefer a proper image viewing solution, on Windows I recommend [IrfanView](https://www.irfanview.com/) or [ImageGlass](https://imageglass.org/). I need more loli things to encode... --- # Currently looking for the following things! Preferably ISOs but any Raw, Remux, Bloated or Good Encode work. **Very High Priority!** The older the medium it was sourced from or the less censored it is, the better! # - Urotsukidoji (超神伝説うろつき童子) - Midori - Shoujo Tsubaki
