AxelVIII Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 What is the difference between the Small Encodes Anime and the rest of the Anime? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoopher24 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm not 100% sure, but with past experiences, I believe that small encode anime will be smaller in file size, but at the cost of quality in the video. I may be wrong, but that is what I believe it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Pretty much what the that person said...An old screenshot comparison I did with miniHD vs full size encodes../>http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/92996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxelVIII Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 So is that a miniHD screenshot? If so, it's not half bad. It just so happens I can only download this Anime I'm looking for in Small Encodes because the full encode links are dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) O.o checked the link, it's broken.... =/Lol mini was a bit more worse than full size. Gonna do another one, if I still have any mini left to compare...Here another comparison:http://screenshotcom...mparison/157840o.O they look almost similar.... Gonna look for a fast moving frame.Edit:http://screenshotcom...mparison/157841Lol that isn't bad, considering these are Skylord's really old releases, he did say that he improved a lot. Well the verdict is upto you, but however you should keep in mind, Skylord's is probably the best minis you can find. Other mini encoders do it quite badly...Edit2:Filesizes: Skylord's 96.3 MB vs Cman21's 396 MBTherefore it's roughly ~4 times smaller.

AxelVIII Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Actually I tried out one of the links to that Anime I was looking for, and it was pretty good quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) I did another comparison, Infinite Stratos, Skylord's Hi10p 720p miniHD vs MysterySword's Hi10p 720p (original source)Here <----- Click!!I did comparisons with fast moving frames, slow moving frames and still frames. So check it out.You probably notice the quality lost in the first and the second comparison (fast moving frames). Then the quality lost in the third and forth comparison you barely notice it (still and slow moving), only when comparing next to each other you notice the slight quality degradation.Also another problem I should point out, either MS did a bad job at the fast moving frames or the source was shit. The image quality when there is fast moving frames I noticed it to be quite shit.Anyhow file size wise: Skylord's 138 MB vs MysterySword 505 MB therefore Skylord's encode is roughly 3.7 times smaller.Hope you found that beneficial.... And for comparison sake, I'm gonna use this now on. Edited November 14, 2012 by Ang3lofDarkness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 If you want to see a huge difference, pick a show with really dark scenes. Then pick a scene with high motion, yet high detail... The mini-encodes typically lose detail in the background, creates additional banding, creates pixelation, etc... Granted Skylord is only doing like half-mini at these 140MB sizes... Typical mini-encoders seem to do 40MB - 60 MB and those really get terrible. I haven't personally checked out Skylords encode settings, but I'd bet he sacrifices a lot of audio quality so that the video quality doesn't have to suffer as much.Take a look here:/>http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93173/picture:0Notice the lack of detail on the piano cords at the bottom, notice the addition of pixelation around the glowing orbs, and notice the banding around the red glow./>http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/93173/picture:1Look at the top right corner and notice all the detail has been smeared away. Notice the pixelation in the bottom right, and the added banding all over the place./>http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=157841Notice how screwed up all the lines are on Hei's jacket. Notice all the pixelation everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the Angel Beats comparison I wanted to find.... >.> I don't keep my links so I tend it lose it.@Hei's jacket, hahaha yep I did notice that, but I did state that it was an old encode & he might have improved. His IS encodes are his latest ones, so you take the verdict. I personally don't care. Just stating the facts.
