## Release
A Dual Audio release encoded in AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and *higher* quality. This release is not considered complete as Seasons 2 and 3, *2202: Warriors of Love* and *2205: The New Voyage*, and OVAs are not included. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata.
`Sav1our` | Codec | Quality | Language | Notes
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
**Video** | AV1 | 1080p 10-bit
**Audio** | OPUS | Stereo (2.0) 192K | Japanese, English
**Subtitle** | ASS | *high* | English | Signs & Songs, Dialogue
**Chapter** || *yes* | English
**Encoding Details**:
This is the first release to be encoded with a Normal CRF Distribution Multi-Pass encoding setup. We will refer to this as the "Normal-Boost" from here on out. As such, the CPU preset and CRF values were selected per scene based on an initial measurement of quality from the first pass and thus the two values listed in the command below are inaccurate. For the most demanding scenes, a minimum of preset 4 and CRF 12 was used. Conversely, the simplest scenes would have a preset of 6 and CRF 28. However, most *normal* scenes are weighted towards CRF 16. This allows for smaller file sizes and improved quality in select scenes. A similar technique was applied manually by hand to our [Selector Infected WIXOSS](https://nyaa.si/view/1726266 "[Sav1or] Selector Infected WIXOSS + Selector Spread WIXOSS + OVAs (EN|FR) [BD][1080p][AV1][OPUS][Dual Audio]") release. For more details, experimental data, and other wild conjectures, we invite you to join us in the Discord server.

> This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size with moderate subjective compromises to image quality. This is not the hallmark of AV1, but close enough. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - `Sav1our`
**Statistical Image Comparison Analysis**:
We measured the SSIMULACRA2 score for 1 of every 5 frames in this release and plotted them into a histogram for some rudimentary statistical analysis. Those can be accessed [here](https://imgur.com/a/iD7JAgQ "[Sav1our] Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 (Star Blazers Space Battleship Yamato 2199) SSIMULACRA2 Score Distribution Per Episode"). We also included the raw data in the `Quality Audit.json` file along with a few other simple computations such as average and standard deviation. Below are 3 random graphs from this collection:
