i remain ever frustrated by the combination of "the official subtitles for revue starlight Suck Ass so my blu-ray copy is largely decorative" and "anime uploaders have the worst god damn opinions about how to encode/format their files". probably gonna just mux someone else's subtitles onto a personal rip and Cope.

Every time I download something and it's 10-bit h264 (weebs love this for some fucking reason) I die a little inside.
it's fucking baffling. i genuinely can't understand what they're prioritizing for b/c you'll see a hyper-compressed x265 file with FUCKING FLAC AUDIO. THE AUDIO TRACK IS LARGER THAN THE VIDEO AND THE VIDEO LOOKS LIKE ASS. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
omg yes, i've literally seen people re-encode from a lossier file and think it's better because the file size is bigger now.
did they never fix the official subs???? i remember i had to torrent it bc of that but wow i figure it would b improved haha
nope! the formatting issues are at least fixed but i still kind of hate the translation they went with for Almost Everything
eventually this path leads you to "editing the subtitle file to make it perfect" which is a hellish path I have once walked down
ah,
looks at his half finished lovely complex subs edit
not relatable
I started doing this for ZZ for a week before I discovered that someone had already done it but it wasn’t prominently listed anywhere.
Which can lead you to finding something that just doesn't have subtitles... so you make them from scratch.
Though there's some really good locally processed audio to text stuffs out there now days. At least gives you something to start a long editing process with.
With like 18 RF, or an average bitrate somewhere in the 5000-8000 kb/s range (for 1080p), encoded hot off the disc rip.
