to them the video looks good, and they know that the avc on bluray is already lossy, while audio is lossless, so thay like to keep the audio as is and compressing the video even more…if that make sense
also x265 gives better compression results than x264...
I get what you mean, but even though it's technically lossy 35-40 Mbps AVC for anime is completely overkill. Although some BDs are extremely lazy. Infinite Stratos is a good example actually. It is really obvious it is upscaled and it looks terrible. Pretty sure they just make them as big as possible to fill out the BD space.
>Yeah, CRF 16 is definitely bitrate starved video. These encodes are transparent.
way more than CRF matters tbh

lol

oh yeah, i'm sure that's why US BD releases which regularly have half as much bitrate don't look any worse than the japanese BD releases. oh wait.

I manually re-timed the audio and subs myself using mpv with MK-pn8's release as a reference and it seemed to be good. If you look in the mediainfo, it does have "Delay relative to video" set on both audio tracks so it's possible your media player is not respecting those flags. Or it is also possible your player is reading those flags when it shouldn't be. I don't actually know where those flags came from, as I re-time audio and subs all the time for my other releases and they've never appeared except here.
I just took another look at it in both mpv and VLC and they were fine. So I would try a different player.
