Description
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
とある科学の超電磁砲
This is a reencode of https://nyaa.si/view/1235412
It had serious quality and muxing issues.
| Container | MKV |
| Codec | aom (AV1) 10bit CQ 25-40 With TargetVMAF of 97 two-pass 1c0r |
| Resolution | BluRay 1080p |
| Audio | Opus 2.0 (VBR @96kbps) |
| Audio Language | English, Japanese |
| Subtitles | English by Chrisazter |
How to play :
AV1 is a fairly new format and therefore has still playback and performance issues, especially with 10bit content.
It’s suggested to use MPV (https://mpv.io/) or the latest VLC Nightly (https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/).
If VLC is lagging: Try increasing the “File caching (ms)” to e.g. 1000ms.
Mobile Devices or weaker CPU’s may have not enough power to play these files.
Performance improvements from the decoder are still work in progress.

Synopsis:
The student-filled Academy City is at the forefront of scientific advancement and home to the esper development program. The seven "Level 5" espers are the most powerful in Academy City, and ranked third among them is middle schooler Mikoto Misaka, an electricity manipulator known as "The Railgun."
When strange incidents begin occurring throughout the city, she finds each crime to be connected to the elusive "Level Upper," a legendary device that allegedly increases the esper level of its user. As the situation escalates, it becomes apparent that there is more to the Level Upper than meets the eye, and that Academy City may be a far more twisted place than the glamorous utopia it appears to be.
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun focuses on Mikoto and her friends—and the dangerous situations they find themselves in—as they get caught up in the matter of the Level Upper. As Mikoto says, "There's never a dull moment in this city."

The quality is nice but I have a few questions.
Why are you doing horrible transcode? why not encode from a bluray? unless i'm misunderstanding your usage of the word horrible (that would be horrible).
And Opus 2.0? dafuq is that? is it a beta? as far as I know (and look up) opus is at 1.3.1
So first off; the video source for this encode is indeed the bluray.
The rest is from various sources that have already been compiled by this gentleman https://nyaa.si/user/Catar (Insanely convenient since he already compiled a lot of anime that is on my encoding wishlist :D )
The word horrible is simply because we are encoding using a, as of yet, rather new codec which hasn't seen a lot of releases. We are aware that our encodes could be 100x better simply because this is not as tested as say the evil HEVC.
This is also why I re-encoded this anime, the first encode looked good enough for me 3 months ago, now its just bad.
Also opus 2.0 means stereo not 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1
Hope this clears up a bit of confusion.
