New encodes + updated scripts.
480p (h264) and 720p (hevc) were roughly the same size, so no updated 480p batch. Certainly not because I’m lazy, nope. ( ¬‿¬)

Thanks for the release!
WOW, first HEVC release (or did I miss any?)
Zero no Tsukaima.
Any reason I should get HEVC BD 720p instead of H264 BD 720p? o_o
Besides updated scripts.
The reduced file size.
Smaller filesize, less banding, less artefacts/bitstarving (esp. around edges, noticable in dark/action scenes).
Thanks for the replies. I saw it was just half the filesize and that many benefits so I guess I’ll give it a try.
Nomobuyo Oshi Hashitawa Dokeda Gunmicha De Ribura!
“o_o” …was was my reaction as well, lol. Yeah this is REALLY efficient. The only other that came close to this, as far as I’ve seen, was the Kono Naka TV release, which had an episode that was 166 megs.
Its like the 2nd show on HEVC… Thanks! Gonna update the archive…
thanks for release :v
time to taste HEVC..
gonna take this :v
Might I ask what version of x265 you used?
1.5+251-db970e8663da for 10-13. The earlier ones I don’t remember.
Which profile are you using? I am curious to know how much of a difference the variable bit depth profiles make in the compression compared to a static bit depth.
Main10
Update scripts ?
I Dont see any diff. except “SMALL Size” and that “HEVC” 😀
Lets say the file in HEVC is 500 MB. How much filesize did you save compared to Hi10p ?
And so it begins… :<
Hmm…Will be my first go at HEVC, but I want those updated scripts, and 10-bit worked well for me way back when I switched over to that after being used to 8-bit, so I’m going to assume this will work as it should as well…Still, I’m still using the old 11-11-11 version of CCCP, because I downgraded back to it after one of the (now older) newer versions that I upgraded to made it so I could no longer play Doki’s Angel Beats! BD releases properly, so I decided to use a version I knew worked, and that has always worked for me…I’m wondering if such an old version of the pack will still work with this HEVC stuff, or if I have to upgrade? Guess I’ll find out…
I’m quite satisfied with Kawaii Codec Pack. It’s updated frequently and play everything without flaw. Not to mention, it’s specially made for watching anime episodes, just like CCCP.
That Kawai Codec pack made playback very unstable to me. I too, had to downgrade back to pure vanilla MPC-HC
Just wanna ask something a bit off topic… did doki dropped unbreakable machine doll (Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai) BD? Thanks for the reply
Doki never drops anything at all. It’s a policy they have. They may potentially sometimes stall certain shows for a very long time (Haruhi-chan took several years…), but it will be out eventually…
Thanks for the info rokudaime
“A fansub team never drops a project, they just get it stalled (indefinitely).”
Did it sound wise? lol
Nah there are plenty of fansub teams that drop projects. We don’t. Just stall a lot. But if Haruhi-chan proves anything, is that we’ll get them done someday.
Wow, um, thanks!
Excuse me for being a noob and all when it comes to the new HEVC/h265 but I’m curious as to if there’s something like the 8-bit and 10-bit thingie in h264 ?
I checked this release in MPC-HC (using CCCP/madvr) and contrary to h264 where it says avc and then a bit depth here it only says HEVC. If there is 8/10-bit, is there any convenient way to tell?
Thanks for the release ! =)
HEVC’s Main profile includes 10bit, and this release is encoded in 10bit. As it is now in the main profile, I don’t think any fansub groups are going to do 8bit HEVC (As even HW decoders like BD players with HEVC support have to play 10bit HEVC too). We may see 12 bit encodes in the future tho.
These are 10-bit (Main10 profile). You can check it yourself too. Open the video and either press the madVR icon and have a look at the video track info or go to File/Properties. In both cases, it’ll show something like “Video: HVC1 1280×720 23.976fps [V: HEVC [jpn] (hevc main 10, yuv420p10le, 1280×720) [default]]”.
Ah, I see. I checked File->Properties->MediaInfo where it clearly says for h264 but drew blank. Found the info you provided in the Details tab though. Just got to learn how to decode that info a little better 😉
Thanks a lot to the both of you for replying =)
Oooh dats nice. Smaller file size is always a plus.
Still praying for that Yahari batch though. S2 is drawing near.
I compared this to the previous batch. The new one is a tiny bit fuzzier, but not much. Less banding and stuff in the dark areas though. Since I have fairly old computers and the new batch is a bit harder to run, I’ll keep both for now.
Dat file size though. xD
I compare them too and notice the same. For me the old version do not blur as much as this version. This is great for people who are space conservative.
I got reached the same conclusion. It’s a bit too blurry might of just done a BD rip.
Ye, this batch didn’t work for me on MPC with my 11-11-11 CCCP pack (it worked on VLC though). I don’t want to change my codec setup unless I have to, since experience tells me that newer codec packs may not necessarily work with all older anime releases, so I think I’ll just keep my old batch, since that one works for me just fine.
Could you provide a rundown of your workflow with HEVC? Scripts, x265 settings, etc…?
Sounds like effort >_>. Here‘s my script, if that helps.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Anon so pro 😡
anonymlol, nice script!
Few suggestions.
I wonder why use everywhere “@echo” instead of just “echo”?
@ – supress echo output for the current line command, but when you manually supress it for the whole batch file with “@echo off” (note that @ here supress this command output before it executes) you don’t need to use it anymore until you turn in back with “echo on”.
For example this code:
@echo off
echo Hello, world!
pause
is similar to:
@echo Hello, world!
@pause
Also note the differences between && and & command:
1) copy xxx zzz & echo Hello, world!
Copy file “xxx” to “yyy” and echo “Hello, world!” string.
2) copy xxx zzz && echo Hello, world!
Copy file “xxx” to “yyy”, BUT echo “Hello, world!” string ONLY if ERRORLEVEL for the last command was 0 (no error).
And also:
xcopy folder\file && @echo.
Can be shortened with (“.” – means current folder):
copy folder\file .
P.S. Did you know that you can use double colon instead of REM command?
REM This is a comment.
:: This is a comment too!
Just list “// comments” in C-like languages. 🙂
facepalm.bat 😀
“Just list” should be “Just like”. 🙂
I don’t remember why I chose @echo instead of echo. It works, so I’ll keep it as is.
The && helps me find the bug when something isn’t working as intended. It also prevents the script from continuing even though there was an error.
For xcopy, I’m not copying from the current folder. I’m copying to the current folder from another folder in the same parent dir.
:: Isn’t the correct way to comment in batch files and can break stuff. REM is the way to go.
> It works, so I’ll keep it as is.
If it works – don’t touch it. (c) IT Rule #1 🙂
For &&, I don’t mean ERRORLEVEL checking, just asking about “&& @echo.” – now I understand that you, probably, want one empty line, but just write it together with the preceding command. 🙂
For xcopy – but I’m right too. 🙂
All this three lines have the same effect:
xcopy “%~dp0%avsFolder%\480.avs”
copy “%~dp0%avsFolder%\480.avs” .
copy “%~dp0%avsFolder%\480.avs”
xcopy is an external program while copy is an internal command, but it can’t copy folders – only files (that’s why xcopy tool (which can) added since later version of MS-DOS).
:: – it’s a bug’o’feature, but it’s legal since early MS-DOS era and I don’t think anything changes soon (because… backward compatability 😀 – not sure about React OS or similar stuff). 🙂 And I know it’s not the official way to add a comments in the batch files, that’s why I mention it in the P.S. just for side note. 🙂
Thanks for the answer!
Thanks!
Replaced the 720p tv rip from ayako (RIP).
what software did you use for x265 encoding??
I used x265. ( ¬‿¬)
Thanks for the HEVC release! Works flawlessly! 😀 Will we see more HEVC content from Doki?
It will be a matter of time, yes.
This is so much more blurry than the other releases.
Why does it said,”Error: Element not found”?
Might want be more specific.
Got a question about season two. Was there a reason to change the Default Font’s style after two episodes? Just curious ^^
Just wanted to make sure of something before I run through this show. Ep. 13 is clearly the OVA, but MAL has it listed as 2 episodes. I’m assuming that since I can’t find any evidence otherwise, this is just another case of MAL screwing up?
