Wait... by "Reencoded raws", you mean you reencoded them from the DVD, not from the old raws, right?

No, it's still your raws, but put a couple more times through Handbrake. Maybe I didn't use the right word. I hope you don't mind.

I don't mind, but you are doing a bad thing. Re-encoding raws WILL degrade the quality and there is nothing you can do about that. This v2 you are making WILL look worse then the original raws, that's just fact. I wish you wouldn't do that, but it does not bother me personally since I'll just take the subs and use them on the original raws. You should NEVER re-encode raws.

I was comparing the quality and it didn't look that different. As I said on the site, the main reason I did it was because I couldn't play your original raws on some players on the phone or tablet (there would be no audio, or it would outright refuse to play them). I always had to look for special codec to play them (and even then, I feel like the audio is a little off.)

If you think it's OK, then no problem. But it literally cannot be of the same quality as the original raws. This is not opinion. Every time you re-encode something you will lose quality. It may be indistinguishable to you, but other may notice, and the loss of quality is there. There is absolutely no way to retain the same quality when re-encoding a raw. It's simply not possible.

That's why I'm still not deleting the old ones for now, in case those with better eyes than me think these new ones are that much sh@#tier.

The problem is either bad player or bad header codes. Codec is usually the last problem. A lot of encodes for one reason or another have either a messed up header or bad track order. Try re-muxing with the latest mkvtool version. This usually fixes it. Just make sure the tracks are ordered as follows: video, sound, sub, chapter. Just my two cents.
