What did you other than remux? All I see what you planned to do and never stated anything what has been done. Also is neko raws so good to do a release and splitting the main torrent attention for a subjective better video with little to no changes?

Edit: Had a conv with uploader and purpose of this release is because there is a slot on AB for neko raws and to announce he/she has plans for future (description is edited when I posted this). Is the video better than Beatrice? I have no idea since I have no eye for encodes. Maybe some x guy will say it is good so it is? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@gsk_
six or one half dozen of the other. Unless you study video encodes for a living or a hobby, you'll never see the difference from reputable encoders. I am the same as you but from my experience, that's how I see most of these encodes.

True and uploader is also the same. He/she also doesn't have the eye for encode at best they can offer is x person said it's good and what's good varies from person to person. Good example is when they remuxed our subs for HF2 just because someone said Beatrice was better than SCY which got mixed answers when discussed and there by splitting the views from og release(this was deleted later btw because that wasn't the case). So relying on some x person (and doesn't even quote what that said good is either) instead of making your judgement is not trustworthy and all you did is split the views.
Same for this torrent and more worse is that this time he/she doesn't even have x person claim on neko raws being good. He/she made it because there is a slot on AB and splitting the views for no gain whatsoever.
He/she also says 95% of their releases are good but if taken proper comps and feedback it will be a mixed results. So I absolutely do not get why split the views for very little to minor changes.

He/she also says 95% of their releases are good but if taken proper comps and feedback it will be a mixed results.

That's just fucking wrong, I never said that.

I'm not going to bother any further because I know that you aren't going to understand my points at all.
Try and understand what I said before you start saying things, please.

What? That is what you said to me in dms. And what exactly is the points you have raised? That you did this because there is a slot on AB and also you have no idea if neko raws is better than Beatrice.

verbatim I wrote: "for 95% of the releases on my page I can assure the video quality is the best available or I can confidently say it has a reason for existing"

I am currently trying to add the video comparison link on every nyaa page (just like the one on this page) so people can make their own decisions and judgements.

For HF2, Beatrice is a viable alternative for anyone that wants to watch an HEVC version, I was told it would be better for movie 2 but that was wrong, doesn't mean it invalidates the reason for the torrent as a whole. Liz and the Blue Bird, I used channelorange's script for the movie and was told to delete it after hearing Kantai's was better, but after people compared them channelorange ended up being better. There are points for everything but you're just stuck on the whole idea of this splitting downloads

you just keep making your subtitles and doing the best you can, I don't see why you're so worried about this

I know how much effort it goes into making a release. Literally hours and hours of work is put in single ep, I mean ofcourse I will be frustrated, I know this because I have contributed to many groups for best releases only to be overridden by a muxer who does little to nothing and doesn't even say what is good in said release other than just pointing the comparison and not even mention what that said good is.
I guess you wouldn't know this because you yourself never did anything worth a effort and leech off others people work while adding little to nothing.
Also you never answered why nekoraws is better than Beatrice other than you telling Jensen encode is slightly worse than neko and never mentioning what makes one thing worse than other, like it has more banding, aliasing, better detail prevention etc

I already said that I have no issues on what you do as a whole but atleast inform on why you think it is good other than you telling I give comps so people can judge but you never said your opinion of good and relying on what others say is good(and don't even quote on what that good is). Majority of your releases are like that and that is my grape is.

I know how much effort it goes into making a release. Literally hours and hours of work is put in single ep, I mean ofcourse I will be frustrated, I know this because I have contributed to many groups for best releases only to be overridden by a muxer

and there is your problem you have now come to terms with

I guess you wouldn’t know this because you yourself never did anything worth a effort and leech off others people work while adding little to nothing.

pretty harsh of you to say

and there is your problem you have now come to terms with

Fair enough

pretty harsh of you to say

Maybe it is? I apologise for it if so. I mean I have never seen any release of yours which I cannot do. I even have an automation script written just to mux. All you say is I have used x video because y person has said so, which is very subjective of good and can go either way and don't even mention why is it good. So I don't think this is worth saying you did some good work, I am sorry.
Lets me give some situation, you said you are working on eva project and I am sure you are putting heaps of effort and time into it to make the best release. Let's say you have completed and released it. Now in few days I just release something with your subs and overrides you release with bare margin. Now everyone won't recommend yours just because there is a slightly better video out there. So how would you feel about it when people will stop recommending yours just because there is a slightly subjective better video? I know I wouldn't be happy about it at least. If you think your releases are worth it then I guess it is but to me it nothing more than some remux which added nothing to make og release better.
I don't mind someone using my release. If someone knows me for a while knows that I release something so that others can use it as a base to give a better release (like you did to my dororo which has varde inferior video and difference is quite huge) as long the change is significant then I have no issues but yours are rarely that and at best a very slight improvement.
I cannot stop you from doing anything anyway, if you think it's worth doing these superficial releases then I guess it is what it is.

If there is no release that arid can do that you can't and it's only slightly better why don't you just do it yourself then instead of complaining about the people who want the best possible release?

@gsk can you share that automation script for muxing? So others can get some upload on totally public trackers as suggested by someone who I won't name.

And I think it's time nyaa allows DRM so creators can protect their work

@Reza27 Have you even read what I said? Arid never even answered the question why neko raws over beatrice or if it's even better. This is uploaded just because there was a request in AB. Also, just look at my torrent page I do work and upload stuff. And also many more projects with GJM, SCY, Kaleido-subs, Asakura and many more groups. Do you think I just post comments with nothing to back up? And also unlike this I upload stuff which takes more than use of mkvmerge. I can do remuxes if I so decide but only if it is something which makes og release better not just add everything to mkvmerge and call it a day.

@HowUnfortunate @ScreX Funny, have you checked if I raged on Arid for using my Dororo subs? No I didn't, because it clearly needs that and I cannot do it as encode was done specifically on my request.

@ScreX Lol. Anyway as for the script, it was written by me and other friend of mine for specific use case with little to no testing and active development and as such I cannot make it public. For interested people it is just a python library for mkv merge so you can check it out.

@gsk_ ok this is the last comment I'm making on the subject, after this I won't be responding to anything else as I know both you and I have better things to be doing with our time.

I mean I have never seen any release of yours which I cannot do.

Completely fair point, but if you don't do it originally, why can't someone else do it? I think you are thinking I arbitrarily switch video for every single one of my pages, that'd be incorrect. I know you don't have any problems with Dororo but more things are like that than this on this page.

I even have an automation script written just to mux.

I have never used anything automation-wise, I do everything manually to make sure I don't mess anything up. Syncing audio? I do that in audacity. Removing honorifics? I go through a script manually. If you are expressing that there's an automation script that can do everything I've done to make my work seem like it's a lesser thing or it takes no effort which invalidates the numerous hours of my life I've spent doing this, then it's a shame you have to do that.

All you say is I have used x video because y person has said so, which is very subjective of good and can go either way and don’t even mention why is it good. So I don’t think this is worth saying you did some good work, I am sorry.

It would be very subjective if I asked the same person for every single one, but that is not the case. Multiple people have looked at sources for things I've worked on. And once again invalidating all the other work I have done with the one example of this torrent now saying I haven't done any good work is a shame and discouraging, to be honest but it doesn't matter long term.

Lets me give some situation, you said you are working on eva project and I am sure you are putting heaps of effort and time into it to make the best release. Let’s say you have completed and released it. Now in few days I just release something with your subs and overrides you release with bare margin. Now everyone won’t recommend yours just because there is a slightly better video out there. So how would you feel about it when people will stop recommending yours just because there is a slightly subjective better video?

I would not care as I am putting in the consideration to all these things beforehand with the resources available, if some encoder releases a new encode of Evangelion the day after and it's the best encode of the series ever and someone gets to putting the subtitles that were worked on before we do then I can't say I would personally care because sometimes things are just like that. But right now with everything around on nyaa I'm working with what is there and what is the "best" encode available. I am not choosing to encode it myself or typeset or song style it myself without help because I know that it isn't my strong suit. I couldn't say the same for other people working on things (and this shouldn't be taken as a knock to anyone who works on anything).

I don’t mind someone using my release. If someone knows me for a while knows that I release something so that others can use it as a base to give a better release (like you did to my dororo which has varde inferior video and difference is quite huge) as long the change is significant then I have no issues but yours are rarely that and at best a very slight improvement.

Again invalidating the work I do, using this torrent to equal all the work I've done across the board when that is not the case. I'm happy that you are ok with people using your things as a base to make something better but you really shouldn't be generalizing everything using this as an example.

I cannot stop you from doing anything anyway, if you think it’s worth doing these superficial releases then I guess it is what it is.

I wouldn't call it superficial as I still believe there are benefits or reasons for all these things existing. Even if neko isn't better than Beatrice for this series specifically, it revives a dead raw which seems to be the case for a lot of neko's raws across time and is a slightly smaller option for comparable video quality.

Have you even read what I said? Arid never even answered the question why neko raws over beatrice or if it’s even better. This is uploaded just because there was a request in AB. Also, just look at my torrent page I do work and upload stuff. And also many more projects with GJM, SCY, Kaleido-subs, Asakura and many more groups. Do you think I just post comments with nothing to back up? And also unlike this I upload stuff which takes more than use of mkvmerge. I can do remuxes if I so decide but only if it is something which makes og release better not just add everything to mkvmerge and call it a day.

Totally all I do man, no request was made on AB, by the way, again there is a reason for existence for every page whether it be adding English audio, making additions to the subtitles, removing honorifics or just using "better video". This takes time to as you can realize so discrediting again is sad to see and I feel like this is generally the sentiment in fansubbing which is also a shame but whatever, I'm not here to change how you feel towards me or anyone for that matter.
I don't know what's the difference between what I do and what NeutralHatred does except the fact that you know him unlike me.
I hope you personally enjoy the fact that I will soon have no time to do this because of school and that you have discouraged me from working on anything bigger. Also, I appreciate you saying I comment with nothing to back up when there is a reason for every one of them yet again.

I wish you the best on anything you work on in the future with whoever it may be and enjoy fansubbing man. I'll be doing what I do and that's how I feel on the matter.

Whew, steamy comment section. For what it's worth, I also compared neko against beatrice. Is neko-raws actually better? Who's to really say.

The firework / flare transition thing in the insert card is sharper in beatrice, more smudgy with detail loss in neko, but neko is also anti-aliased whereas beatrice isn't.
(i.e. ep. 2 12:35 on the chapter frame)

There's also wavy warping found in neko at times for lines. For example the dark outer frame line on the alarm clock at the top on the last episode.
(i.e. ep 13 1:30 on the chapter frame)

You can also spot a lot of haloing around edges / lines in neko too presumably because of sharpening used. Sometimes sharp one-color (over-sharpened) edge lines as well since there's less blending / blur.

but if you don’t do it originally, why can’t someone else do it?

Yeah sure anyone can do what they want but doesn't mean I can't give a criticism on it.

If you are expressing that there’s an automation script that can do everything I’ve done to make my work seem like it’s a lesser thing or it takes no effort which invalidates the numerous hours of my life I’ve spent doing this, then it’s a shame you have to do that.

Why aren't you using the tools available? Just because you doesn't use it and do manually should I justify the hours you spent? You can learn from by asking or reading guides. GJM subbing cave is awesome place to learn many things like these. There are scripts for honorific removal as well. Also idk how removal of honorifics is good thing. That's not exactly a improvement, it's more of a preference than anything. Just because there are honorifics doesn't make a script bad and just because script doesn't have honorifics does make it good. It is all subjective and to be taken case by case basis. For a show like bunny girl having honorifics is perfectly acceptable. Then again it is a preference so I don't mind if someone add or remove them.

Even if neko isn’t better than Beatrice for this series specifically, it revives a dead raw

Then why not just do that? Release the torrent with remake tag or seed the og torrent instead of doing a pointless mux. How will people know that you used neko raws when people search for neko raws?

This takes time to as you can realize so discrediting again is sad to see and I feel like this is generally the sentiment in fansubbing

Comes with territory. I hate it as much as you do as well. All the points I have raised is perfectly valid critisism there are people who wouldn't even do that and just straight up say shit.

Multiple people have looked at sources for things I’ve worked on

Who exactly are these people you speak off? I am there in several fan sub discords and I have never seen you discuss anything. Also instead saying some group of people said it's good how about mentioning what that said good is and why is it so is what I am asking you to mention just like @Mabby
gave his opinion on encode.

Also, I appreciate you saying I comment with nothing to back up when there is a reason for every one of them yet again.

You say there is a reason but never mentioned what that reasons are. All you keep saying is someone said it is good. I haven't checked every show you did and I am only concerned about this show since I like it. What you do or did for other releases I don't care. You did a release and when asked why you did this when og is perfectly fine you went and dm me on discord so I had to respond on it.

I hope you personally enjoy the fact that I will soon have no time to do this because of school and that you have discouraged me from working on anything bigger.

Not sure why would I? I don't feel happy just because someone is struggling to manage their hobby and irl stuff. Everyone have issues and I know myself because I do this hobby while working. idk what you think of me but best of luck with life.

Now everyone won’t recommend yours just because there is a slightly better video out there. So how would you feel about it when people will stop recommending yours just because there is a slightly subjective better video?
