--------------- Improvements in the V2 release include these. ---------------
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

(First Stage)
Episodes 1-13 are about the same as last time, but with a little detail improvement in lines, and some other areas. They also have a more clean looking image.
Episodes 14-26 have been improved a bit more than 1-13 detail wise. The lines are not smudged out, or thinned as much as last time. They also have a more clean looking image.
I fixed the small amount of leftover combing artifacts in the chroma for the couple episodes that actually had any.
I synced and used the 5.1 lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the Japanese audio source this time, instead of using the 2.0 Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. I also added about 2.3K more video bitrate.

(Second Stage)
I improved this a lot compared to the old release. I put my old encodes to shame without a doubt.
I fixed a lot of the combing/interlacing issues that caused smeared looking lines in the previous encodes. I went through frame by frame for hours, and gave them special treatment where possible. The lines and details for most of the video are very much improved as a result of this. You can see examples, and detailed information about it in my forum.
I improved the overall detail, increased the overall image a little with less cropping, and reduced the artifacts much better.
I synced and used the 5.1 lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the Japanese audio source this time, instead of using the 2.0 Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. I also added about 2.3K more video bitrate.

(Third Stage)
I fixed the chroma issue that was in my older release. I was using a new filter for the first time, and didnt notice the side effects in chroma until about 2 projects later. I fixed those projects, and am now fixing my Initial D projects.
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also improved the detail slightly more with a better made script.
I synced and used the lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the audio source this time, instead of the Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. I also added about 2.5K more video bitrate.

(Fourth Stage)
I fixed the chroma issue that was in my older release. I was using a new filter for the first time, and didnt notice the side effects in chroma until about 2 projects later. I fixed those projects, and am now fixing my Initial D projects.
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also reduced the artifacts/banding better, and toned down the oversharpness a bit.
I synced and used the 5.1 lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the Japanese audio source this time, instead of the 2.0 Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. I also added about 2K more video bitrate.

(Fifth Stage)
I fixed the chroma issue that was in my older release. I was using a new filter for the first time, and didnt notice the side effects in chroma until about 2 projects later. I fixed those projects, and am now fixing my Initial D projects.
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also improved the detail slightly more with a better made script, reduced the artifacts/banding better, toned down the oversharpness a bit, and fixed the outer rim of the video around the border instead of cropping it off as much.
I also raised the audio bitrate from 576kbps to 640kbps, and added about 2K more video bitrate.

(Final Stage)
I fixed the chroma issue that was in my older release. I was using a new filter for the first time, and didnt notice the side effects in chroma until about 2 projects later. I fixed those projects, and am now fixing my Initial D projects.
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also improved the detail slightly more with a better made script, reduced the artifacts/banding better, and fixed the outer rim of the video that was a single pixel wide dark line and a line of haloing all the way around the border.
I also raised the audio bitrate from 576kbps to 640kbps, and added about 2K more video bitrate.

(Battle Stage)
This is about the same as last time, but with a little detail improvement in lines, and some other areas. It also has a more clean looking image.
I synced and used the 5.1 lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the Japanese audio source this time, instead of using the lossy 5.1 Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. The voices, and music are better mixed in the audio channels of the Blu-Ray audio. I also added about 2.3K more video bitrate.
I improved the positioning of my subtitles so they are not over top of the Japanese text anymore, and are easier to read. I also added an updated translation as an additional subtitle track.

(Battle Stage 2)
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also improved the detail slightly more with a better made script, reduced the artifacts/banding better, and toned down the oversharpness a bit.
The audio is 640kbps instead of 576kbps like last time. I also added about 1.3K more video bitrate.

(Extra Stage)
This is about the same as last time, but with minor detail improvement from a better script. It is also very slightly more sharp.
I synced and used the 5.1 lossless audio from the Japanese Blu-Ray for the Japanese audio source this time, instead of using the lossy 2.0 Japanese audio from the DVD like last time. I also added about 1.3K more video bitrate.
I improved the positioning of my subtitles, and changed a couple lines styling.

(Extra Stage 2)
I not only fixed the chroma issue I intended to fix and the reason for doing the V2, but I also improved the detail slightly more with a better made script, reduced the artifacts/banding better, and toned down the oversharpness a bit.
The audio is 640kbps instead of 576kbps like last time. I also added about 1.3K more video bitrate.
