One Piece Season 8 Voyage 3 [Dual Audio]

Thanks for the encodes, It's getting harder to find optimal encoded Anime of any series lately. Optimal = An episode of Anime thats < 350MB and playable on anything using default codecs&settings. There collectable episodes. The new bunch of start up encoders have been posting way oversized episodes some require non standard codecs to watch them. There disposable episodes. big to keep on internal HD and would require multiple DVD-Roms for a .
All it took to get started sharing Anime long ago was to follow a couple simple guidelines. Make sure you can fit 12eps on a 4.7GB DVD-Rom, and encodes playable on any device @ default settings. Anime was shared without any problems using those guidelines for over 10 years. It didn't matter what you downloaded. Weather it was Anime, Regular TV or a Movie, they were all encoded using one of the standard codecs. The last couple of years it's been completely different. There's Anime and there's everything else is still easy to download and watch

I generally agree, but...
Your guideline would require to use 720p 8-bit H.264, as it plays one virtually any hardware decoder. But 10-bit H.264 is all the rage and 10-bit is typically 5...10 percent smaller in size.
Your guideline would also require to use x264 quality setting (crf) in a range of 17...20 (this release is 18), but mostly 14..16 are used for BD and 22...25 for re-encodes.
1 GB HD-storage is about 3ct. 720p 10-bit H.264 plays fine in software mode on any processor produced within the last 10 years.
So my conclusion is: It's like it is. Encoding settings of the release groups won't change back.

Nyaa is where you have to post to dialogue with the encoding community.

AT is just a place for useless bellyaching on such topics. I assume you understand that.

From what I see it seems that mostly everyone is after better quality, since most are viewing these files on a HD viewing device. I too I'm starting to fall for it myself, if I love an anime I always get a 1080p version. And soon 4K will take over, the files are going to get bigger... Hello H265.

Just my cents about HEVC:
As they messed up licensing, I'm not sure, that HEVC will become mainstream.

Thanks for sharing that info. Very interesting I'm looking forward to see what they come up with.

Quite a number of newer hardware devices support H.265, so regardless of whether the big players adopt it, it's likely going to stick around.
Release groups usually don't pay lip service to codec licensing, and anime release groups historically have never been afraid to use niche codecs.

These days though, phones and TV boxes are becoming powerful enough to software decode 10-bit H.264 720p (and maybe even 1080p), so choice of codec may actually not matter so much in the future.

We are ONE, we sail under the one banner, WE ARE THE MEDIUM PIRATES!

In the "future"... But meanwhile, we struggle till everything catches up.

Well, many manufacturers advertise H.265. But only cutting edge hardware (NVidia GTX 10x0 or AMD RX 4x0) supports at least a somewhat comprehensive profile set in their decoders, as there are lots of them:

So I my option is, that there is still a lack of hardware support.
It's not too late for AV1 to compete with HEVC, as not only streaming players, but also the hardware section joined in:

Nothing is typeset in stone, I guess. Let's wait for the features of AV1, when the bitstream freeze arrives next spring.

Hardware support is relatively recent, as it is a new codec, but it's becoming fairly comprehensive across the board.
Intel GPUs also support it, though PCs aren't too much of a concern as they generally have enough power to CPU decode the stream. On the mobile side, many ARM SoCs support HEVC decode. There'll be limitations with profile support, as is common with hardware implementations, so no real surprises there, but encodes which don't exceed the limits will work. This is exactly the same with 8-bit H.264 - you play a 1080p video with 16 refs, and it'll probably blow the DPB of most hardware decoders.

AV1 is certainly interesting, but I doubt HEVC will die any time soon. If anything, hardware vendors tend to not remove features.

Oh yes, I forgot about GPU in new Intel Kaby Lake series. HEVC hardware support improved a lot (10-bit MAIN). And indeed, also applies for recent high-end ARM, especially Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.
