tl;dr: toaster-friendly animes
[RigthShiftBy2] is a “group” that just takes releases from proper anime fansub group and reencodes them to hardware compatible format.
All reencodes are hardsubbed, because most of hardware players can’t render .ass subs properly.
Video is AVC High@L4.1 profile, maximum bitrate is 30mb/s, maximum buffersize is 40mb/s (MeWiki says it’s within Blu-ray specifications).
Audio codec will be in the description of the release if it is reencoded, we do it if audio track is really big or it’s encoded with some codec incompatible with MP4 (like FLAC, Vorbis or Opus). TV rips come with AAC audio so it is left as it is.
MP4 container with chapters is used for releases, there is no point in using something more advanced.
We won’t do 720p if 1080p version is available.

Please encode with b_pyramid = 1, your encodes with b_pyramid = 2 won’t play on many hardware players. Thank you.
I’m sorry, you don’t seem to have bpyramid. But you have ref=9, maybe that’s causing problems.
Yes, encodes did have b_pyramid = 2, I’ll be doing b_pyramid = 1 from now on. You can check http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=617748 or any later release to see if it works now. Thanks for your input.
As for ref=9, it shouldn’t cause problems since it’s within level 4 AVC limits (for 720p).
Romme, is it blu-ray or xbox or.. ?
Will ref 9 in 720p be played in Xbox or bluray?
It is said they can not…
I don’t have Xbox, or bluray….
Both megui and staxrip have device compatibility templates…
xbox and bluray limit ref count to 3…. and also, bframes to 3 !!!
In Xbox, vbv values are set to ~24000….
So High@L4.1 needs some additional restrictions…
And for blu-ray… b_pyramid=1 (strict) is needed
also megui says blu-ray need –bluray-compat –open-gop –slices 4 other than xbox limitations… and staxrip says it need –keyint 48 too.. I have seen articles that says 1080p bluray should have –keyint 24 (they say each second it needs an I frame).. but megui uses normal keying value wich is 250 (10 secs)… no idea…

kotuwa, it’s a Sony Bravia tv and i’m no longer in possession of it so i watch anime on my pc now like all the plebs do. It also failed to play some DeadFish encodes, so i guess it’s hard to encode for a Sony Bravia.
