Kanamemo (DVD)
kristen:
I don't want to offer this myself, so anybody wanna offer CGi's Kanamemo DVD?
der richter:
is it any better than the polished release?
kristen:
I haven't seen any screenshot comparisons, but @ http://coalgirls.nyaatorrents.org/?p=4133 it was said that the colors/details are better. In addition, the audio is consistently source release instead of polished's 150 kbps AAC re-encode later on. Most comes from the CGi being ISO sourced while polished was Raw sourced. CGi is also 900 MB smaller.
der richter:
ah i see, audio is a obvious plus. also the video resolution is not consistent, 848x480 and 720x480. seems like different raws.
if it's alright i'll make a quick comparison with episode 1. also will check the color/detail thing.

If you are referring to namaiki's post about 'full range "extra" details', you obviously didn't catch the sarcasm. The DVDs have a mastering issue where the luma levels aren't in the proper TV range (16-235), which results in loss of color and details when players play it back assuming the encode is using the TV range. A recent example of this same mastering error comes from Dragon Crisis. One way to deal with this would be to use the --fullrange option in x264, which would make players treat the video as using the full 0-255 luma range, but this is not recommended as the luma range is actually irregular - most episodes seem to be using the range 16-255, which means that an encode done with --fullrange would result in gray blacks. Same goes for changing your renderer/decoder to treat the input as PC levels.
I'm not sure if the polished release did this any better though, the colors looked quite bleached there too. Either way, it's a mastering error and something that should be fixed for a proper rip, just like hard telecined video should be IVTC'd.
