Take a look at the links below:
https://animetosho.org/file/kageru-iss...mkv.291961
https://animetosho.org/file/kaylith-is...mkv.138201

Both files are 720p, 10-bit, MKV, AVC, AAC, 2Ch with the same FPS and many other settings, so
Why the one with CRF=15.6 is about 30% smaller than the one with CRF=16??!!
It becomes more surprising considering the fact that chroma subsampling of the smaller file is 4:4:4
while the other has the routine 4:2:0.

Because it's more than just x264 settings that factor size. You can't see what filtering was applied via mediainfo, and for example, if one opted to denoise more, it could come out much smaller. Not saying that is the case here, just pointing out that x264 aren't the only thing that'll determine final size. Another thing the mediainfo isn't showing there is what bitrates the audio was encoded at. Although the qcomp setting does differ between the two, which also attributes to the differences. Different x264 versions as well was used.

That's right. Audio bit rate isn't mentioned but I don't think it can cause a 500 Kbps difference in overall bit rate
and the difference in x264 versions is a minor one.
I'm still baffled o.O

My experience is, that chroma subsampling of 4:4:4 (no subsampling) provides compression improvements with H.264 High Predictive Profile (as used here), especially at 10-bit (but more CPU consumption). There's also a different deblocking setup.

CRF isn't only option to define bitrate. For instance, larger qcomp means assigning more bitrate to complex scenes and less to simple/static ones. Kageru has larger qcomp, this alone can reduce bitrate a lot in such low-action anime (by making static scenes look bit worse).

4:4:4 by itself does increase bitrate because you simply need to encode 4x more chroma pixels. That said, chroma usually has much less details than luma (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bar...ation.jpg) so 4:4:4 won't have very significant impact on overall bitrate. In addition to that, choosing 4:4:4 in x264 automatically raaises chroma_qp_offset parameter, so unless you manually reduce it chroma gets compressed more aggressively and is likely to have even less bitrate than 4:2:0 with same parameters.
Plus, there's video filtering.

Also, TV sources may be more noisy / less clean than BD, so larger size.

Thanks for all the comments.
Now it's more clear ^_^

There's a problem with attachment...i can't download or see any screenshots...please fix it asap..

It appears that the host is undergoing maintenance. Hopefully it's back in a few hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

could anyone please upload an anime called Magic User's Club (Mahoutsukai Tai!/Mahou Tsukai Tai!) both the OVA & the TV Series here?...& thanks

Is there any chance that we can still keep the "2013q2 - Naru" skin for this site? This is the one that I mostly use here and Naru is one of my favorite characters from "Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live". Thanks in advance for considering this.
27/01/2017 13:34 — admin
Definitely! (but only for ~3 more months, my patience is running out with her...)

If you're unhappy about that, you can always turn to the voodoo magic option.

Make a bookmark, edit the address to:
javascript:void(document.cookie='ant[theme]=132;path=/')
go to animetosho.org, then load the bookmark and refresh the page.

I still use the javascript:void(document.cookie='ant[theme]=114;path=/') theme.

The only problem is that from what I've read, that works on browsers that are *not* IE... and that's the one that I use when I'm at my house. Are you sure that code will work with the IE browser that I'm using?

And I assume that's for the Naru (PR: RL) color scheme, right?

Does anyone know who is the encoder of files with (1280x720 HEVC2 AAC) or (1920x1080 HEVC2 AAC) at the end of the name of episodes
which uses CRF=20 and 12-bit??!!
This team seems to be an encoding group and (most likely) not a fansubbing team because their subs are mostly from HorribleSubs.

Their encodes are good and my first choice to download but I have a suggestion for them: Isn't it better to use CRF=19 and 10-bit? Because it seems
12-bit doesn't make any difference compared to 10-bit (except larger file size) but CRF=19 does make a difference indeed and I don't think the final size
of CRF=19, 10-bit encodes are that larger than CRF=20, 12-bit encodes. (Of course it depends on the encoded anime but normally, the size can't be
that different (and don't forget the files are HEVC))

#Even a Pawn can take down a King#
Agree. Using HEVC 10-bit (which also requires v2 profile) should typically provide the best size/quality ratio.
A good example is Doki's Shinmai Maou no Testament batch:

Not a group, just a guy I would guess.

If you want to try to make contact you'll need a Nyaa login.

This is the team/individual behind these encodes: ヽ(´ー`)ノ (on Nyaa)
(And that's the only thing we know about the team right now :))
Anyway, whoever they are, their encodes are very good. Appreciate it.

Hi, just wanted to say I really like subtitles in the thumbnails. That way I can see if a fansub had really horrible font choices/styles/sizes. Maybe rendering without them is a bit faster, but it really is a minor loss.

I love this website, thank you whoever you are.
29/01/2017 09:42 — Anonymous: "MeH"
That's right.
There's no problem with subs on screenshots. It's informative and lets us know about font, colour, style and size of subs.
The more important issue is image hosting site. Imgur was OK, Someimage was a total failure and now AT storage is good.

PS H265/HEVC is great and Anime Tosho rocks ;)

Out of interest, what was the problem with Someimage?

Someimage is dead. On my end at least, I get a server not found / problem loading page error.

Oh I see. I suppose I timed the migration away reasonable well!
22/03/2017 19:21 — Anonymous
any reason why you switched from Imgur to someimage?
25/03/2017 12:37 — admin
I think they switched API at the time and the code stopped working. Also they tended to convert PNGs to JPEGs, so I didn't bother trying to get it to work again.
30/01/2017 11:11 — Anonymous: "MeH"
That's right. Someimage wasn't reliable at all. It is down since long ago
just like BillionUploads, Netload, Uploadhero, Fileswap, ShareBeast and ...
30/01/2017 04:21 — admin
Thanks for the feedback.
Trying to get subtitles into the screenshots is something I'm looking into.
