>>109417 (OP)Watch Lily CAT. It's basically Alien combined with The Thing.
Unfortunately there's no truly high quality copy of it.
The best quality it exists in is this:
https://nyaa.land/view/389617 but it lacks subtitles.
This:
https://nyaa.land/view/1973225 has subs but the quality is lower.
(both have image quality problems, in different ways, but that one overall looks worse).
In other words:
The LDrip = no subs, okay quality
[Exiled-Destiny] = subs, worse quality
Here's a way you can add the subs from Exiled-Destiny's release to the better-quality LDrip:
Download both, then copy
> ffmpeg.exe> Lily C.A.T (LDrip 640x480 x264 Hi10p AC3).mkv> [Exiled-Destiny]_Lily_C.A.T._Movie_(7B3FB693).mkvinto the root of a drive (like in C:) and rename the mkvs into:
Lily_nosubs.mkv
Lily_subs.mkv
Via ffmpeg you'll create a new mkv that contains the video & audio from the LDrip mkv and the subs from the Exiled-Destiny mkv.
Such a remux can be super simple and super straightforward, but in this case some extra work is needed
because the subtitle track from Exiled-Destiny's release isn't in sync with the LDrip.
In two ways it's not in sync: two different fixes are needed.
If you just run:
ffmpeg.exe -i Lily_nosubs.mkv -i Lily_subs.mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:s -c copy output.mkv
you'll get an mkv containing the subs but they appear too early.
You can fix that by adding "-itsoffset 0.800" - with that the subs will be in sync, however only up until about 41:30;
the dialogue at 41:30 is the last time the subs are in sync because the LDrip has from about 41:32 to 41:34 a segment of
empty black frames where nothing happens, frames that shouldn't be there, that aren't part of the movie (maybe it's the LD side changing).
Due to that, the subs after that time appear too early despite appearing in sync up until that point.
The solution is in addition to using "-itsoffset 0.800" to also (losslessly in a remux) cutting out that empty part of the movie.
With that part of the video gone, the subs will appear in sync throughout the whole film.
First run:
ffmpeg.exe -i Lily_nosubs.mkv -t 00:41:32.156 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -c:v copy -c:a copy Lily_part1.mkv
Then:
ffmpeg.exe -ss 00:41:33.825 -i Lily_nosubs.mkv -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -c:v copy -c:a copy Lily_part2.mkv
Then create "Lily.txt" with this inside:
file 'Lily_part1.mkv'
file 'Lily_part2.mkv'
Then run:
ffmpeg.exe -f concat -safe 0 -i Lily.txt -c copy Lily_joined.mkv
Then:
ffmpeg.exe -i Lily_joined.mkv -itsoffset 0.800 -i Lily_subs.mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:s:1 -c:s copy -c:v copy -c:a copy -bitexact -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 Lily_joined_subs.mkv
The result is that "Lily_joined_subs.mkv" has the LDrip video & audio and the subs from Exiled-Destiny's release and the subs are synced throughout the film.
All the above only takes a few seconds btw, because you're only copying stuff - not encoding anything.
Note however that 4 of those empty frames after 41:32 remain because the exactness of the cutting is limited;
you can't (losslessly in a remux) cut a video at just any frame you want (unless the video consists entirely of keyframes);
the cutting simply doesn't occur at the exact millisecond-timestamp one specifies.
Therefore the subs after that point appear 4 frames earlier than they should, but that's basically imperceptible.
