Kara no Kyoukai

Last update on 2011-02-25 by ChrisK | Posted in Completed

Type: Movie (7 Parts + Epilogue + Remix)
Video: 1920×1080 @ crf 16
1280×720   @ crf 16
Audio: FLAC 5.1 (24 Bit)
Subs: Track 1: gg-TakaJun (restyled)
Track 2: Retail (restyled)
1080p: Torrent
720p: Torrent

Notes:

  • I watched it in 1080p, but I can’t really tell if it’s worth the extra space. You decide.
  • If you watch this at normal distance to your TV, you shouldn’t notice most of the crappy parts. Looks quite good actually.
  • Part 5 is a bit huge because the entire movie was plastered with grain.
  • The chronological order of the parts is: 2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 6, (Remix,) 7, Epilogue. Watch it in this order if you want to have an easier understanding of the story. Or just watch the Remix after Part 6.

    Okay here is the Epilogue comparison.

    1080p:
    http://www.pixhost.org/show/2104/6023427_1080p.png

    720p Upscaled – Using Spline/Lanzcos (CPU intense)
    http://www.pixhost.org/show/210/6023432_upscaled.png

    720p Upscaled – Using Nearest Neighbour (Simplest Method possible/ Fewest CPU usage)
    http://www.pixhost.org/show/2104/6023428_nearestneighbour.png

    The epilogue has a better quality than the movies but if you have enough CPU power for advanced resize methods the difference is also trivial. But as already stated by Chris you decide.

    Oh and for everyone interested, I just reencoded the oversized 720p version of part 5 with a degrain/denoise filter and the new video is less than 5Gb in size with a in my opinion slightly better video quality. I don’t know if the noise was intented by Ufotable as a stylistic device but for me thats a great Win – Win method to save space.

    Thanks for the (fast!) help, Cosmico – looks like I’m heading for the 720p.

    ChrisK – thank you very much for your hard work! Now to free some space for these beauties. 🙂

    when you guys talk about cpu usage is there like an option where you can choose to use more or less cpu to load a video? So.. are you guys talking about the rendering option where you can optimize it for best or just use default or something? o_o

    Don’t know if its just me but the downloading of kara no kyoukai 1080p has been excruciating slow for me i.e. <1kBps/sec. Anyone facing this problem as well?
    Is it because of the immense file size + leechers and the somewhat small pool of seeders?

    Don't get me wrong, not trying to bitch here or anything, just trying to clarify my doubts 🙂

    Anyway, thank you for all the hard work thus far! Looking forward to your future releases as well 😀

    Cheers~!

    It was nice for you to include both the gg-TakaJun sub track and the retail subs for comparison, but why were the retail subs made the secondary subtitle track instead of the default? Just curious.

    Also, silly but would have been cool: If you’d linked the movies with their cinematic intro files as ordered chapters so they’d play together if they’re in the same folder.

    • 2011-02-28 at 06:05:07
      ChrisK writes:

      Because the gg-TakaJun subs are technically better (timing, etc.) and are the ones I watched the movies with, so I know that they work properly. The Retail subs only got a quick check since I didn’t want to watch every movie twice. They should work fine too, but it’s possible that they have some minor errors.

    @Tsubasaki

    No there is not an option to use the cpu more or less. We have talked about the resizing of videos.
    In this case from 720p up to 1080p. And for this you can choose between several methods for the resizing. It depends on the renderer and decoder you use which one are available. Some methods are really simple and don’t stress the cpu much but they often produce a low quality picture. Then there are methods which uses complex math algorithms to produce the best possible picture and therefore they have a high CPU usage. You can find some comparison pictures here:

      Of course you can always filter the shit out of something, but you might end up with other problems, like lines that weren’t there in the beginning:

    There must be a compromise with filtering though. Just a tad of AA would have helped a ton with the edges and wouldn’t cause problems like extra lines appearing (lol, I’ve never seen that before but that’s just bad). Granted, this source is pretty terrible to begin with.

    sorry ChrisK, but leaving shit unfiltered is fail.
    because you can clearly see that it looks like dongs. but you will never notice those _minor_ filtering fuckups on playback.

    i like it unfiltered myself…rather not deal with mistakes. i woulda preferred something done to ep 5 to reduce that sick file size even if it sacrificed a little quality tho. but beggers can’t be choosers

    I can’t seem to get the 1080p version of Movie 7 (DLed from FS) to run properly. It’s fine for the first ~20mins but the video then starts to enter a mix of slowmotion and getting stuck every few frames, while the audio is going on smoothly. I’ve encountered this on 5 different media players, tried remuxing it already – no change.

    All the other movies are running without a problem.

    Any ideas?

    Sorry I haven’t replied for so long, I am not often on this site. I have uploded my reencode to Nyaa, just search for Cosmico. I also reencoded the audio now the whole video is 1.8Gb.

    I hope you don’t mind my rerelease and it would be great to hear the opinion of an experienced encoder like you on my work.

    Can someone (ChrisK if around) confirm one of the DDLs? For the 1080 variant, I’ve been trying to DL part 2 of the Epilogue. But there’s an error; tried probably 4 times today.

    The error is basically your standard “Cannot display the webpage” message. I’ve tried Opera, Chrome, and even IE9 with no avail. The file seems to exist so that’s fine. And I tried DLing another KnK file (anything but the part 2 of Epilogue), and those work fine. Just THIS.

    Would sincerely appreicate someone look into this… I’ve (sucessfully) DLed part 1 and would hate to think that was in vain, considering the bandwidth limits where I live…

    Cheers in advance for your help.

    Tried again, and once more at a mate’s place (so a different IP). And it’s still a no go for both cases… So got another mate to try some other file from the KnK DDL folder by CG (specifically the part 1 of the file, again). And that worked fine.

    File in question is part 2 of the Epilogue video:
    http://fileserve.com/file/N4q4H5B

    I wouldn’t think Fileserve would be banning specific countries but hmm. And not being too revealing, I reside in the Oceania region (so that’s Australia or New Zealand for you). Not sure what to make of this issue as a result.

    Thanks for the help regardless though.

    Or if anyone else has Cosmico’s version can seed for a little while it would be greatly appreciated.
