Version 2 - Errors Corrected and New Encode
********************************************
"There are a few minor video glitches in several of the episodes. These were present in the source material and couldn't be helped."
I'm quoting myself because I couldn't let this go. Upon review, there were more problems present than originally thought. My apologies.
-------------------------------------------------------------
16 errors over the course of 13 episodes have now been fixed.
-------------------------------------------------------------
-List of episodes corrected (and time stamps where video corruption occured)-
Ep 7 (10:47), Ep 12 (16:51), Ep 17 (8:05), Ep 20 (6:45), Ep 21 (1:49, 19:09), Ep 22 (16:53), Ep 23 (7:33), Ep 24 (19:44), Ep 35 (21:48), Ep 45 (16:01), Ep 46 (18:06), Ep 47 (12:01, 13:01), Ep 48 (21:48)
1 audio error repaired in the ED of Ep 21
-All episodes re-encoded at higher settings-*
In keeping with the original goal of all episodes fitting on 2 dvd's, I gave more thought to file size.
The first 25 episodes received a small bump in bitrate.
In the source material, by far the largest file sizes were among the final 24 episodes. As such, the final 24 encodes received slightly more.
I took advantage of Ep 49 being thirty seconds shorter, and provided even more bitrate to Ep 48 instead, which needed it most.
In short:
-Episodes 01-25 = 4.25GB
-Episodes 26-49 = 4.25GB
*Encoder babble:
--v2 = ref 16, b-adapt 2, video bitrate 890 (1-25), 930 (1-47, 49), 955 (48)
--v1 = ref 12, b-adapt 1, video bitrate 880
---nero audio encode quality based setting q=.40 (vs. .41 in original) - saved a few bits better used on video.
Final note: There is overall improvement, but I'll admit it's marginal. If you have already downloaded the original version, you might want to cherry pick only the repaired episodes. Though I hope you'll want a matching set. Either way ... enjoy.
