Encoding Goals:
Source: Use Bluray Rip, 4K if available otherwise 1080p, or highest available source
Video: Prefer smallest video encode that doesn't contain distracting artifacting and maintains decent details.
Grain: Match to original, though less noise if the original is extremely noisy. Enough to hide artifacting but not distracting. None for simple animation.
Audio: Perceptually lossless Opus from uncompressed audio track. Or spatial audio if available.
Subtitles: Use most complete/accurate subs available. Otherwise generated English subtitles using the highest quality Whisper model, usually only for foreign extras.
Commentary: Spoken quality Opus encode if available, 48 kbps.
Naming: Should have good media center compatibility (Plex, Jellyfin, etc).
