So this is a v2. What is different?
Episode 39 got corrupt while final muxing. It has now a v2 name. Just stop the old torrent, recheck and continue in this one, and then delete the v1 of ep39. Or if old one was already completed, just download the 39 v2 from this one.

File list not available.

Wow, this is huge, i never thought it was released in Bluray! Thanks a lot, i'll be re-watching it all!
BEST QUALITY EVER SEEN on any Nadia torrent. Of course 1440x1080 is the best thing to have.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! How much did you pay for the BD set ? Heard it was very expensive.

Anyway if you people like this anime, you won't regret these 63 GB.

I'll seed this thing forever :D
The sound stops working all of a sudden in ep. 1. (Other episodes haven’t finished downloading yet.) It happens just a few minutes after the beginning and when I rewind it it stays the same. Why is that?
It uses ordered chapters. Even though vlc has now some ordered chapters support, it's not very good, especially when audio is flac.
For best results use mpc + haali splitter (very important) and decoders of your choice.
Nice, but the size is massive overkill -- you don't need FLAC audio to "preserve" a mono soundtrack.

While it looks fabulous, about two or three of every four megabytes are bloat.
Many thanks. I actually own all the Discs, but can't rip them myself. However, I run into trouble using them on Mac OS X.

VLC doesn't play them reliably (as AnCatDubh noticed), even worse, HandBrake won't convert them to Apple TV 2 format (and presumably others).

Even mkvextract doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas anyone?
Apparently not. :-)

Anyway, after fiddling around, I found a solution:


# first. get the SSA subtitles and turn them into SRT, which work with HandBrake.

mkvextract tracks in.mkv 3:subtitles.srt
fixsrt.pl subtitles.srt

# convert original into new file, preserving the video. Just demuxing

ffmpeg -y -i in.mkv -b:a 128k -b:v 4000k -threads 4 -acodec aac -ac 2 -vcodec copy -strict -2 -s 1440:1080 -aspect 1440:1080 -flags +aic+mv4 tmp.mp4

# use Handbrake to convert to AppleTV 2. I don't use the built-in preset because it delivered sub-par results in this case.

HandBrakeCLI -i tmp.mp4 -o out.m4v --preset "High Profile" --two-pass --markers --turbo --maxHeight 720 --aname jap --subtitle-default 0 --srt-file subtitles.srt

This gives files of about 500 MB for 720p which play nice on Apple TV 2 and iPad2.

If you need bigger files, just change the maxHeight.
