Why are you re-encoding lossy 256kbps 2ch English audio and 128kbps 2ch Japanese audio into 320kbps fake 6ch audio?
Makes no sense to make an overly compressed "mini" video encode, but then add extra fake channels and bitrate to the audio.

@Koby
Because all my encodes have the same codecs and quality settings no matter the input.
I also encode TV Shows and movies witch do have 320kbps 6 channels.
If you increase the bitrate you can't call it a "mini" video encode anymore ^^.
The question is... How is the quality? good right?... That's all i care for.

That doesn't make any sense.

Increasing audio bitrate has nothing do with the bitrate of the video. Adding fake channels to the audio doesn't increase audio quality either.
Nor does adding extra bitrate to the audio. Your audio is bloated, has fake channels, and lower quality.
There is no reason to re-encode lossy audio, nor is there a reason to add fake channels or increase bitrate.
The audio would sound better if you left it alone.

@Koby
Consistency is key in my opinion.
I choose to encode all my uploads with the same settings.
You are free to download the original buddy.

It isn't consistency. There is no logic behind adding 4 non-existent channels of audio and increasing audio bitrate. You're effectively increasing filesize while lowering quality.

What's the point of mini-encoding the video if you're bloating the audio? If you want to be consistent, mini-encode the audio too. Might as well go with 64kbps 2ch audio at this point, because it'd sound better than the fake additional channels.

Maybe you'll listen and learn something today. If not, well at least I tried.

@Koby
Where do i state that my encodes are "mini-encodes"?
They are simply dual-audio HEVC nothing special.
Don't see anyone else complaining about 15MB for the extra channels.
I'm a fan of FMP! and have all episodes dual-audio, no one made them for season 4 so i did.
You do your thing and i do mine.

You didn't have to say it, you encoded it at crf28 with about 1k bitrate. Anything higher than crf20 is mini.
Heck your audio makes up about half the size of the release.

No one else has complained because almost no one downloaded it (right now sitting at 11 completed downloads) and they likely didn't notice you were adding fake channels or lowering the audio quality while bloating it like some noob.

If you really wanna be dumb, you're free to do so, but I was just trying to give you legit advice in hopes you'd actually take it to heart and learn how to do things properly.

If you were a fan as you say, you'd know that technically it's season 3 not season 4.
Also you know [LostYears] has done it as you've already re-encoded their release into lower quality for previous eps, so saying no one has done the show is silly.

FMP! = S1, Second Raid = S2, Invisible Victory = S3.
Fumoffu was a side-story that just happened to mostly be set between S1 & S2, but is totally skippable.

@Koby
First of all my video stream is CRF 18 and my audio bitrate is higher than the original. there is nothing about my encode that is mini or lowering quality. https://gyazo.com/df0aba0afaa6cd696538b6d7ef05fc0e
I think you misunderstand what HEVC aka H.265 does, it halfs the file size from a H.264 with the same quality.

Fumoffu might be a sequel but it's still classed as season 2.

Check the upload date and description before you burn someone for re-uploading.
I was in the process of making episode 4 and i noticed they uploaded a dual audio, so i just took theirs.
People like HEVC.
I'm following the rules and i specifically say this is a "Re-Encode made from LostYears Release." and not a "Dual Audio made from HorribleSubs and Golumpa FuniDub Releases.".

And if your intentions are to help, you need to work on the way you bring stuff.
Anyway if you really want to help me get my encodes better add me on skype or twitter and we'll discuss it there.

According to mediainfo it's CRF28 (proof: https://animetosho.org/file/full-metal-panic-s00e04-intermission-nomercy-h-265-da-mkv.524372). So perhaps you need to take another look at your actual encode settings and final output.

You need to learn this: Increasing bitrate of audio on audio does not increase quality (you cannot add quality that isn't there in the first place). In fact re-encoding lossy audio only lowers quality. There is absolutely no possible way to increase quality of a lossy source. Adding fake channels does not improve it either.

Also someone who doesn't know faking audio channels is bad isn't capable of lecturing about codecs or encoding. x265 does not "half file size for same quality". That is total nonsense. x265 isn't even capable of same quality at same size. It's all about compression, but it loses quality to aid in it's compression. If encoders could truly get same quality at half the size, the entire fansub scene would be using it, but they're not and the reason is simple: x264 is still the better option quality-wise.

Do you even know the difference between h265 and x265?

Fumoffu is not S2. TSR is (it's even in the name lol). Fumoffu is a spin-off. I bet you don't count Sword Oratoria as S2 of DanMachi. Nor is Railgun season 2 of Index.

I never "burned" you for reuploading. Was just pointing out your claim that no one was doing the show except for you was false. But erm, [LostYears] has released weekly since the first episode aired, dates on Nyaa do not reflect release date of actual files, just when they were added to Nyaa (as LostYears was originally only uploading them to Anidex).

I need to work on how I say stuff? Erm, I've been nice the whole time and consistently pointed out why there is an issue and that you shouldn't needlessly re-encode lossy audio or fake channels or bloat bitrate.

Skype? Does anyone still use that? Pretty sure people stopped using that like 3+ years ago minimum. I can be found on IRC and Discord most of the time.

2k18 -> AAC, 320kbps.

FKING LUL

@NoMercy_Entertaiment
well thank you for doing this! I watch this show in particular dubbed, but I always to like having the option of dual-audio if I have some friends over who prefer the sub. anyhow keep at it man!

@Blindthethief
You're welcome ^^
