This is not the hallmark of AV1, but close enough. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - `SavI0r` ### [**Comparisons**](https://slow.pics/c/XlVojZaV "S00E01") The header above links to a comparison between the [WEB][source-toon] source, the same rescaled, and our resulting AV1.
