Soriton no Akuma | Soliton no Akuma | The Wave of Rage [jackoneill]  

OnDeed gave me lots of advice and the tools that convert such sources into something acceptable.

I did not add or remove any honorifics. To be honest, the absence or presence of honorifics doesn't bother me much these days. Take a look at this: http://sprunge.us/MfPM?diff. I did what I could to keep irrelevant changes out of this diff (like timing changes, styling, override tags, changing ' into ’, ... into …, etc). Though there are still some caused by splitting lines.

thanks
is there a chance of maybe getting it in ass/ssa or srt?  it would save me a lot of copy and paste
I probably can't use the fonts you used anyway, since this will be for the R2J DVD, but appreciate it anyway, and I will take a look at what you used, see if they are soemething that can play on a DVD w/o overflowing buffer.
I know I fixed some errors on the DVD's subs before, just for myself (I found overlapping subs clipping other subs, many showing WAY too short -- espec at the beginning in the military submarine, plus some bad grammar and whatnots) , but want to look at this script and maybe make a patch for ericf's DVD and the raw (since I have both) if i get time to redo it once more (re-render subs, mux etc).

It is already is in ass format. Just save the file in the first (http://sprunge.us/IhZO) link as xxx.ass, and you are done.

What OnDeed said. You should know that the timing is not suitable for DVD subtitles. DVD players like to have some space between adjacent lines—two empty frames seems to be the norm. I remove such gaps because they cause flickering.

any reason why after 9 hrs of downloading ,,i have not even reached 1% of this downloaded?,,,i restarted downloading,,,all my ytoorent says is that is finding peers.. 0hb down..0kbs up...nada

Judging by your absence in the list of leechers, you have not bothered to read this info:

yeah..i am doing ytorrrent 3.3 alpha testing..sorry..ok unistalling.. reinstall 3.1 or 3.2   i'll be back...thanks sleeper...

I am aware of that being a limitation of dvds muxed with muxman, overlapping (& continuous or concurrent) subs causing flickering.  Scenarist SD has no issue/limitation with overlapping subs when muxing and authoring (nor did Maestro, but that software is ancient -- it requires being lassoed to a single cpu core to mux on new PCs architecture, and still crashes when muxing from what I experienced).  I still use MSBT for rendering the subs, it really is a glitch in muxman, to the best of my knowledge.
But yes, that is partly why I already remade the DVD once for myself, b/c the custom (the one you you used) had overlapping subs that cut lines off and other issues (mostly near the start, but I also cleaned up some spelling/grammar/awkwardness), so obviously ericf used muxman to mux the assets, like most fan-made custom DVDs.  
AnimEigo made good use of Scenarist's abilities to have concurrent subs, for anyone that has any of their DVDs, they will know their techniques for subs that stay on-screen as more and more text lines get added (in varying colors).  No flicker.
I haven't tested, tbh, but I  believe IFOedit and DVDAuthorGUI may be freeware alternatives for people to avoid that overlap issue in muxman, though they have less features in regards to muxing assets and tweaks that can be made.  
But I digress....

thanks for the subs.
i thought I had tried to "save as.." the link and was given html ext., so i hastily figured it was configured at the webpage that way w/o retrying. derp

I am curious -- which lossless encoder do you encoders prefer for superscaling for qtgmc , and other times you'd encode to lossless as a midway toward encoding, etc.?  
lagarith, Ut, HuffyUV, x264 (in lossless) are the ones I see used most often.  curious what people encoding like these days.  superscaling sure can be a nice way to  overcome some aliasing issues, and god knows many (especially digital) anime BluRays can use some antialiasing (and color/contrast/chroma fixing).  any experienced encoders want to give some strenths and weaknesses regarding these loassless video encoders?  do some work better with HD others better with SD?  output size of the lossless video vs speed vs other things?  etc.  

Avisynth doesn't care about case, so qtgmc() is the same as QTGMC().

I use x264 (in lossless mode with preset ultrafast) because it's already installed and I know how to invoke it. About the others I know only what I've heard, namely that lagarith is a buggy piece of crap.

that's too bad since it is supposed to be the modern fork of HuffYUV (which hasn't been updated in like a decaade).
I hadn't heard that it was buggy, so thanks for warning!

x264 in lossless -- what kind of filesizes does it usually give you?  
is it loosely based proportionate to the size of the original raw, or more based on complexity, so % of  increase of original can be all over the place?  
For me for encoding BD videos (back to BD) I want to know what kind of filesize I am getting into.  I remember I had tried some losselss video step to reduce aliasing on an BD video some time back and ran out of space on the HDD after like 300 GB  kind of killed that :/  I don't recall which codec I used tho.  maybe Ut or lagarith?  

I prefer x264's lossless too, it behaves better for me when doing huge scripts that eat a lot of ram, compared to using vfw codecs in virtualdub.

And for antialiasing, you should use different filters (for example this, good look with little adverse effects).
QTGMC should only be used if the crap is temporal-based: field-blending, interlacing...

For Soriton no akuma: after qtgmc (324440 frames): ~29 GiB, after srestore (129776 frames): ~14 GiB. The size of the original doesn't really matter. As a general rule: clean image -> better compression.

You shouldn't need a lossless pass for antialiasing...

It's not very nice what happens on the inside of the guy's red jacket, in the shadow.

Go make a more detailed comparison than what the uploader provided, if you can be bothered. Personally, I'm sceptical (and can't be bothered).
