Cosmic Princess Kaguya! (2026) 1080p NF WEB-DL MULTi Opus2.0 AV1 (Multi-Audio / Dual-Audio, Multi-Subs) (Chou Kaguya-hime!)

Thanks

Thank you

My pleasure

My question is why did you fuck up the audio so bad?

If you're interested in such a release to begin with, you won't have a surround setup, if you do you'll go search another release or mux the options yourself. What I do is a simple downmix with a script that's openly available on my GitHub, because opusenc's internal downmixer is bad. Again, your comment doesn't bring anything of value on the table.

My question was why did you take 5.1 DD+ at 640 kbs and turn it into 2.0 128 kbs opiss-not how you did it. That's like shitting on another pile of shit. And you're right, I do have a very nice 7.1 speaker setup so I wouldn't have any interest in stereo.

• Size consideration: the Tsundere source has 3x 640kbps tracks (like this release) which increases the size by 80% over its 128kbps counterpart (so basically double). It leads to the video tracks accounting for less than half the total release file size, which is ridiculous considering the video quality target. The audio is much higher quality than the video it comes with, it is objectively a waste.
• Usage consideration: users that seek such small release instead of a several-times bigger H.264 WEB-DL are more unlikely to have a surround setup (no zrdb you are not the norm), or to care about it in the first place. Netflix' 640kbps surround tracks have always kinda been overkill. Apart from their xHE-AAC, it's the second-best audio quality that typically comes with anime. I already went over the downmixing part in my previous comment so no need to repeat myself. The Opus bitrate target of 128kbps is also known to be transparent (only a FLACtard would argue otherwise, which I wouldn't be surprised you are), so the actual audio quality is pretty much untouched. Even if you argue 192kbps is a better threshold for transparency, that doesn't change much of the conclusion that this has basically barely any impact on the listening experience, even less so relatively to the video quality, but saves on space tremendously.

All that said, if you're not capable of moving on with your life (wtf are you still on about one month later), downloading another release, or doing some muxing yourself, instead of looking down on the 5000+ people that downloaded and likely enjoyed this release and movie, it's on you. Get better.

I am capable of moving on with my life and I know you seem to have a fetish with super small "re-encodes" which I despise. I prefer remuxs be they bluray of dvd and I am not a flac aficionado. I use the original audio be it pcm, Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio or whatever it is. And as far as opiss being transparent at such low bitrates-bullshit. There are audio artifacts present, I've read the claims made in various articles and how it's defined is in the ears of the listener. And if you're still ranting about saving storage space this isn't the age of dialup modems and glacial dl speeds-that's on you, not me.

If you wanted untouched remuxes, then the links to the sources are right there. My god you're entitled.

Dude, 60% of my releases are remuxs and I'm not any more entitled than you are, I just know what I do and don't like-that's all. Ciao

However, at the same time, no one is walking into a store on a regular basis and declaring "I DO NOT LIKE THIS STORE, I PREFER TO SHOP ELSEWHERE"

Thanks.

Also, I will never understand people who click on and then download things they "hate" and then complain about it.

Some people would rather have a collection of many shows, which is less possible when each season is like 68 GB for absolutely no reason. Also, some people prefer releases like this because they put it on their phone.
