--------- A small holiday gift for EVA fans! It's a mux using **Jensen's** excellent encode (https://nyaa.si/view/1670812) and the official subtitle translation and the lossless audio synced from my remux (https://nyaa.si/view/1731111). **I used the Jensen encode because of the following:** Encoder: Jensen Notes: https://slow.pics/c/oZiAyvcZ As you can see in the comparison, the original 1080 bd edition suffered from an incorrect bt2020 -> bt709 linear transformation done with a simple color remap. And since the red and orange colors in the bt2020 version were artificially expanded to approximately 80% of the coverage of this color matrix, this method (color remapping) created a strong shift towards pink. Since it is in this direction (pink tint) that the color clipping intensifies with a simple cropping bt2020 -> bt709, like with Amazon. I did a proper saturation preservation + chroma remapping within the bt709 gamma 2.4 spec using DaVinci Resolve, which resulted in correct colors (like Amazon) but no clipping. Of course, this does not give such a juicy and contrasty picture as the Amazon version, but it should not be like that, it should be “normal”, if you know what I mean. Apparently Amazon did the conversion with Adobe tools that still don’t work well with bt2020 and create color clipping at some stage of the conversion. In addition to finding a solution and adjusting the parameters for color conversion, it took a lot of time to adjust the downscaled image from 4k to 1080 and fix the problems in the UHD version that arose due to the use of Sony RS + to scale the image from the original DCI 2K 2.35. A lot of time was spent on selecting and testing cleaning settings, dehalos, etc. The HEVC setup process also caused a separate headache, which actively resisted and saved low bitrate due to the small vertical resolution of the frame (816p), I had to control the bitrate almost manually, but the result, in my opinion, was worth all these efforts. Now I want to repeat all of this with 3.333 to create a 1080 version with the correct colors. --------- #### **Audio:** | Source | Description | Format | |:-----------------------:|:-----------------------:|:-------------------:|:--------:| | US UHD | English | 5.1 DTS-HDMA| | JPN UHD | Japanese | 5.1 DTS-HDMA| | JPN UHD | Japanese | 2.0 DTS-HDMA| | JPN UHD | Japanese Commentary* | 2.0 Dolby Digital Plus| *Note: No English subtitles are available **as of this release,** for the commentary track. --------- #### **Subtitles:** | Source | Description | Format | |:-----------------------:|:-----------------------:|:-------------------:|:--------:|:----------------:| |US UHD| English Signs & Songs| PGS | |US UHD| English Translation| PGS | |US UHD| Spanish Translation| PGS | |US UHD| French Translation| PGS | |US UHD| English SDH| PGS | |JPN UHD| Japanese SDH| PGS | |Weeb Gakuin| Fan Translation*| ASS | *Note: I only fixed a few out of sync signs, besides that this is the exact same script and timings from the original Weeb Gakuin translation. --------- #### **Extras:** Included is a hybrid remux of **evangelion 3.0 (-46h)**, which includes the **official translation** and **Diko_L & nomakewan**'s fan translation (https://nyaa.si/view/1647887).
