Naruto Shippuden 341 [1080p] [x265] [HE-AACv2] [Eng-Softsubs] [jnx_r]

Long time since I uploaded. Like I mentioned in one of my last uploads, I have been updating my workflow, and its almost done. From now on wards, uploads will be encoded using x265 and HE-AACv2 for superior audio quality.

-------------------------------------------

What is x265?

It is something which gives you upto 50% better compression when compared to x264 at the same bitrates.
But, there is still a lot of optimizing left to do for x265 devs. Many features which are available in x264 are not yet available in x265 not to mention the ridiculous ETA for each encode.

A while ago when I tried x265 it had so many glitches that encoding it became pointless.
CBR was the only available option at that time. But since then, a lot of improvements started showing up. Now CQ & CRF are available, and it won't be long before 2 pass and other features of x264 start showing up.

Currently the downside to encoders is that it takes up a lot more time than x264 since x265 is much more CPU intensive.

That said, I am still sold on x265; the detail it can retain at nominal bit rates is great. After doing a few high resolution tests, I was convinced about the capabilities of x265.

-------------------------------------------

I have improved on my Audio workflow too, and now it will be better than my usual encodes. Improvements in Bass & Surround Sound are included with audio encode with very high transparency. Audio will now be encoded using HE-AACv2.

What is HE-AACv2?

It has a high compressibility and retains much more detail than AAC. It is an upgrade over many popular formats like MP3, AAC, AC3, etc.

Playback notes:
-------------------------------------------

Tested with MPC(CCCP) v1.7.1 [32 & 64 bit] (K-lite & CCCP) and VLC 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.

System config:
1) i7 + GTX 540
2) core2quad + ATI Radeon 5850

-CCCP flawless playback, no issues with the 27th Nov release.
-K-lite codec pack seems to be dropping frames but it can be re-configured.
-64 bit version of MPC-HC needs to be configured correctly for flawless playback.
-VLC may have issues with seeking; other than that, playback itself is flawless.

So all things considered I would recommend CCCP's configuration atm.
