So I'm working on Pokemon Origins again. Any how, there are 3 options for the English dub.
1) - AC3-2.0 192kbps ADC DVD
2) - AAC-2.0 192kbps CodeDonut WEB
3) - AAC-2.0 160kbps Pikanet8 WEBDL
I'll need to encode the end song from the JP audio and splice that in, as none of the dub sources have the end song included, they just cut off at the end of the episode. Any ideas/suggestions?

What source is that CodeDonut release? Typically at same bitrates if encoded ideally; AAC would be better since it compresses better than AC3. However depending on actual source and the encode method it's not necessarily going to be the outcome. So I'd probably just go with the DVD audio option and as always don't encode lossy audio. Since you're splicing in audio, in the end I'd say the codec of the JP audio would sway the decision. You'd be better off appending rather than encoding. Encoding lossy audio always creates further loss. So if the JP audio is AAC; go with the AAC option and append the audio together with no encoding required.

I'm encoding the Japanese BD, so the Japanese audio is ~1500kbps PCM (or good enough to encode and use as a source for the ED song). I'm planning on encoding that in FLAC, but if I end up needing to drop the file size I may go with AAC instead. I think I'll encode the Japanese audio to the same specs as the DVD and splicing the ED song in, since the DVD is the highest quality dub audio there is considering it's the only English retail release out there. Apart from that, there's just those sketchy WEB sources.
