Description
Before episode 12 aired, rcombs sent me a singable and TLC'd version of the ED. But episode 12 didn't contain the ED, so we didn't end up using it. I figure it's best to release it in some form, so here you go.
Since this release's reason for existence is the subtitles, I figured I may as well meme the video a little bit. This encode is an attempt at high-ish fidelity encoding with AV1. I'll just post image comparisons and encode settings and let you draw your own conclusions about aom's viability as a high-bitrate encoder in low-noise settings.
[Comparisons]()
AV1: 143MB, `--cpu-used=3 --end-usage=q --cq-level=8 --threads=1 --kf-max-dist=999 --kf-min-dist=999 --arnr-strength=0 --enable-tpl-model=0 --enable-cdef=0 --enable-restoration=0`, with `--photon-noise 1 --chroma-noise` in av1an. Obviously, `--enable-tpl-model=0` is the key here, since it's basically the equivalent of `no-cutree` in x265.
HEVC: 142MB, `--bframes 12 --deblock -2:-2 --no-open-gop --no-strong-intra-smoothing --no-wpp --no-sao --lookahead-slices 0 --frame-threads 1 --psy-rdoq 2.0 --no-cutree --crf 15.9 --aq-mode 3 --aq-strength 0.85 --qcomp 0.72 --rc-lookahead 60 --preset slow`
