Description
The video is from VCB-Studio. They applied debanding and slight AA, plus adaptive denoising and texture sharpening. Both the remastered 5.1 and original 2.0 audio are from AK-Submarines, but I resampled them from 24bit to 16bit with soxr using low shibata dithering. This cut the audio file size in half, saving around 600MB. The main subs are the improved /ak/ Submarines subs from 2019. The chapters are from AK-Submarines.

Chapters: yes
Tech Note
For those questioning the audio: increasing or decreasing the bit depth does not effect fidelity, it only effects the dynamic range by raising or lowering the noise floor. At 16 bit with no dithering it produces a 96db range and a noise floor that is already lower than what is audible. With shaped dithering, like what I applied, it increases the range in the audible frequencies to around 120db. For reference, that’s the loudness of a chainsaw. I highly doubt anyone is going to be listening that loud. 24bit non-dithered audio has a range of 144db, loud enough to immediately cause permanent hearing loss. That’s putting aside the fact that the highest end hardware can only output at around a 120db (20bit) range due to the limitations of integrated circuit designs.
TL;DR 24bit audio is pure bloat.

Are you planning doing the rest of GuP content?

I plan on doing at least Finale 1 and 2 since I can get the 5.1 audio for them. If I were to do the Tank Courses I would use your improved subs.
Also would people be interested in Opus versions of my releases? It would cut the audio to 1/4 their current size and would sound the same for 99.9% of people.

Yes, please.

We’re currently working on revising all the subtitles for GuP, the Tank Courses were just the first things done.
Everything else is just about done as well, pending QC. The subtitles are all quite a bit improved, if you’re interested in waiting to use those.
Feel free to message me on Discord (arvon2#6524) or send me an email (arvon2@yandex.com)

I made an Opus version of the main show and movie but it wasn’t worth the small space savings for the others.
