Compare two ore more release ?! (vbr)
sapsa:
Like allways I would like to thank BakaBT for being great Quality Guardian! ~ it's been so long but still i'm finding my favorite animes in better and better quality - Thank You all ^_^
My problem:
I recently downloaded few diffrent fansub releaseds of same anime. I know theres few sub diff but my main goal is Quality - subs are important to but i can allways extract them and add to better quality video. But how to compare 2 diffrent released ?
1) Alot of Info apps dont give Bitrate because its Variable :O.
2) I could ScreenShoot same frame and compare them.
3) if resolution is same for both and audio is same then I can go for BIGGER size one?
Realy dont know how to compare? or is my 1,2,3 method ok ?
Thanks, Peace ~

Resolution is far less important than what they did with their encode. You should pay attention to cropping, saturation, warpsharpening, and several other things that I'm in no state of mind to think of.
Bigger is not always better.

Cropping is visable when I watch anime, saturation too? (not sure), warpsharpening ? (need to make research...) so the only way is looking on it via player and compare?
Oh :)

First, I would just play through an episode one of each to make sure there are no obvious encoding flaws.
Since you already have the files, it makes the process much simpler. I'd say to just go with the screenshots and decide which one looks better to you. Sometimes the finer differences can be a difference in preference, so if one isn't clearly better than the other, then just pick whichever one you like best.
Bitrate is usually a good estimate of the quality level, but it is just as likely that something with a (slightly) lower bitrate but a lot of work done on it will look better than a higher bitrate release. Also, check the codecs. If they are the same then there are no issues. If they are not the same, than the one that is bigger in size isn't necessarily the one that is better quality. Newer codecs usually maintain better quality even at lower filesizes.

What does VBR have to do with anything?
