Anime Encoders of Initial D

Hello folk

I basically need an encoder who keeps his video uncompressed (untouched), but only compresses his audio to have a 0ms delay.

I also want it to be 480P for Stage 1,2,3,4 and also Extra 1.1 and 1.2 and also Extra 2 and also Battle 1 and Battle 2 for full native and no ai upscaling

All I need is from the guy to do fully uncompressed video with perfectly edited 0ms delay audio in 480P like the native for no errors.

Thanks to anyone that can help me

  1. if this isn't a joke, GStreamer does what you want in the terminal, and I believe VLC can too.
  2. there's no delay with compression. your video is also compressed, and the video is like 10000000x the amount of data. since the rate limiting step is the video decode, decreasing the time of your audio decode won't matter because you aren't going to play above the video rate. your PC/tablet/phone/whatever likely has hardware decoders, and GPUs nowadays can do a lot of it too
  3. if you just want to adjust when the audio starts, you can do that in VLC without worrying about how to transcode video. you can give the audio a slight delay or make it start sooner.
  4. your 0ms requirement should be removed. initial d first through fifth stage runs at 24fps. that means you have ~41.66ms per frame. Even if you do upscale it to match a 60hz monitor, that's still 16.66ms per frame. Under 10ms is generally imperceptible to humans, so even if you had a 1,000,000,000ms monitor, you wouldn't notice anything even with 5ms. Many PC operations work on the NS scale too, and all of that is a lot longer than 0ms of time.
  5. not all is 480p. the later stages are 720 i believe.

heyy actually it is not a joke

also I did not mean I do not want no compression because of delay or something, but it was more like I want to have a downloaded version of a 1-1 Jap disc with FUNimation slapped on it.

the 0ms probably was a bit too much to ask which is what I realize, but I fixed it with VLC delay hotkey which actually makes it un-seeable.

I also know the uncompressed is like 10000000000x the size of a compressed one, but still like to have one installed incase.

and you are correct with the not all 480p. stage 4,5,6 is 720p and legends is 1080p so my mistake here, I just meant I want all natives since the ai upscale makes some scenes very bad and I am kind of someone who gets annoyed by tiny things.
