Buono! - Re;Buono! Concert 720p 480p HD

Before I begin with the giant wall of text let me first say that the 1080p version isn't ready yet. When I was encoding it yesterday, I noticed something I wanted to change and ultimately decided it would be best to start over on it. The resulting encode will take another five hours to finish, plus a day to upload so I didn't want to delay this post when I already have the other two versions ready.

Now you probably noticed that I already did a 480p encode from the blu-ray disc (in less than a week, it's become Airii~n deshou?!'s most popular post of all time!), but this 480p version is superior in ever way. It has all of the bells and whistles that the HD versions does, but at a much smaller filesize. It even looks better than the 30fps rip linked above. Here is a screenshot comparison: 

I would suggest opening both in new tabs and clicking back and forth between the two. You should be able to see that the second image is much sharper, and thus, you can see more detail in Miyabi's face. It's still not perfect, but it looks better, I think.

And now onto the 720p version.

Even when re-sized by Blogger, it looks much better than the 480p versions. Click on it and it blows the other two out of the water. Through the power of Blu-ray, you can see every shiny detail of Buono!'s hot outfits throughout this concert.

No matter what version you choose, the extras are the same. Both have the full setlist in chapter form,

as well as dual audio. There are actually two audio tracks included with this release - the regular concert audio and commentary audio. On the commentary audio, Momo, Airi, and Miya watches the concert just as you are, and makes whatever comments comes to mind. It's a great way to watch the concert a second time after you've seen it already.

To listen to the second audio track in Media Player Classic, click on "Navigate", then "Audio Language", then click on the commentary audio:

In VLC, click "Audio", then "Audio track", select the second track.

In Zoom Player, right click anywhere on the video screen, click on "Stream Selection", and select the commentary audio.

For other video players - well I'm sure you can figure it out.

I'm still learning how to encode blu-ray DVDs (and really I'm still learning about encoding in general), but I think this 720p encode is the best I've ever done. Of course, the original blu-ray DVD looks so much better and you should totally buy it if you have the money, but otherwise I hope you enjoy these encodes!

The 1080p version should be done encoding and uploading Sunday, but tomorrow I'll have another blu-ray concert ready!
