Description

Video: Yousei-raws
Subs: AllHailExcalibur, Coalgirls

Yousei-raws' 720p BD release utilized the USBD. I used AllHailExcalibur's subtitles but did not care for his OP/ED style and so, swapped it out for Coalgirls. Made fixes to various writing errors, like capitalizing and spacing, for some signs. Removed TL notes that weren't actually TL notes but rather comments on the scene from the typesetter. Replaced Excalibur's translation of Maka's "I don't care" scene for episode 51 with Coalgirls. TL notes even claims it isn't a proper translation so, I decided to go with Coalgirls.

Video: .mkv, x264 8-bit
Audio Track 1 (Default): English 5.1 FLAC
Audio Track 2: Japanese 2.0 FLAC
Subtitle Track 1 (Default): English Signs & Songs (.ASS)
Subtitle Track 2: English Dialogue (.ASS)

wtf nice memesubs

@Herkz
Random "LMFAO"s during a comedic scene makes it feel like I'm watching a sitcom and the "laugh" sign just lit up.

@Arid0914
It'll be up on Nandato shortly.

You must not have used FLAC audio. My ENG tracks alone are over 200MBs and those files sizes are roughly the same as Yousei solo.

dld a couple of episodes .
it does indeed strip the episodes of credits for who worked on it
its not just the problem of forced chapters english credits are awful, theyre incomplete here

@NeutralHatred I can only assume he's mad because it doesn't have the original Japanese credits? I don't think there's a proper full release sourced from the JP BD as they came out later IIRC.

Oh really? I've actually never seen the Japanese BD, so I just naturally assumed it was better. Good to know.

1GB per episode? Very unusual for a 720p release.
I am very tempted to replace my TCL release with this, but 60GB .....

720p releases generally doesn't have 5.1 FLAC audio. It is usually AAC because the FLAC is used for a 1080p release. Since this show is native 540p, 720p is already an upscale so a 1080p was not going to happen.

Episode 7 has significant tagging issues. Other eps have some minor tagging issues that don't really matter so I'll ignore them. This command will bring episode 7 in line with the other episodes to default to English audio with Signs & Songs subtitles track (if that's what you like), should work the same on Linux or Windows. If you are on Windows, install scoop from https://scoop.sh/ then run "scoop install mkvtoolnix" in a powershell window, then open a new powershell window and run the following from the episode directory:

mkvpropedit "[NH] Soul Eater - 07 (BD 720p x264 FLAC) [018BA908].mkv" --edit track:a2 --set name="Japanese 2.0 FLAC" --set flag-default=0 --edit track:s1 --set name="Signs & Songs" --set language=eng --set language-ietf=en --set flag-default=1 --set flag-forced=1 --edit track:s2 --set name="Full Subtitles [AllHailExcalibur/Coalgirls]" --set language=eng --set language-ietf=en --set flag-default=0 --set flag-forced=0

If you want a default-to-Japanese-audio approach to tagging, with English dialogue subtitles on by default, run this (Linux):

for f in *.mkv; do mkvpropedit "$f" --edit track:a1 --set flag-default=0 --edit track:a2 --set flag-default=1 --edit track:s1 --set flag-default=0 --edit track:s2 --set flag-default=1; done

Windows:

Get-ChildItem -File -Filter *.mkv | ForEach-Object { mkvpropedit $_.FullName --edit track:a1 --set flag-default=0 --edit track:a2 --set flag-default=1 --edit track:s1 --set flag-default=0 --edit track:s2 --set flag-default=1 }

Note that running any of these commands (even just the first one) will invalidate your torrent download. If you want to keep seeding you will need to make two copies of the files and only modify the second copy for long-term archive/viewing, or you'll have to quit seeding.

For English audio/wasted bits haters:

This will DELETE the english audio track from all files and delete the old files, leaving only new files with no English audio (that cannot be seeded on this torrent, obviously). Same instructions as above for getting it to work on Windows if this is your first time wanting to use mkvtoolnix on there. Note: Once this is done, the CRC32 hash at the end of the filename will no longer validate.

Linux:

for f in *.mkv; do mkvmerge -o "${f%.mkv}.remux.mkv" --audio-tracks jpn "$f"; rc=$?; if [ $rc -le 1 ]; then mv -f "${f%.mkv}.remux.mkv" "$f"; else echo "FAILED($rc): $f"; rm -f "${f%.mkv}.remux.mkv"; fi; done

Windows:

Get-ChildItem -File -Filter *.mkv | Where-Object { $_.Name -notlike '*.remux.mkv' } | ForEach-Object { $tmp = Join-Path $_.DirectoryName ($_.BaseName + '.remux.mkv'); mkvmerge -o $tmp --audio-tracks jpn $_.FullName; if ($LASTEXITCODE -le 1) { Move-Item -LiteralPath $tmp -Destination $_.FullName -Force } else { Write-Warning "FAILED($LASTEXITCODE): $($_.Name)"; Remove-Item -LiteralPath $tmp -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } }
