No MU links because lol uploading 10GB on Megaupload. Remember, you can always grab the releases off our bots in our IRC channel (which you should be lurking in), too.
Joint with THORA, translated (from scratch) by yours truly. I actually had the script done the day the BD came out, but there’s a lot of work that goes into subbing a two hour long movie. The encoding also took a few days to finish. It was pretty cool though, final QC was completed shortly after the 1080p encode was done.
I hope we didn’t lose too many first-time viewers of this movie, but either way I think I can safely say this is the version you’ll want to archive. Enjoy!
EDIT:: Three things.
1) If you experience any playability issues, use MPC-HC with CCCP. This is the only setup that we guarantee will play without problems, notwithstanding hardware/CPU issues.
2) We have only one release bot, and she is getting pounded on hard. If you could spare a bot or two to help us distro, please contact me (Raze) in our IRC channel.
3) Typo fix patch released; the link has been pasted above. The patch fixes only the 720p or 1080p versions. Be sure to read the readme before using the patch, or risk having to redownload all those gigs again. The version of the patch deletes your original file: prevent that by either first making a copy of the original video in case something goes wrong, or using the DDL version of the patch. Alternatively, you can simply download the latest script, rename it with the same filename as the video, install the fonts included, and the subs will load.
Just to clarify, THORA’s version is exactly the same as ours; it’s just named differently. The patch will work on THORA’s version if you simply rename the file as directed in the readme.

If I download the torrent again right now from scratch, I don’t gotta patch, right?
“We have only one release bot, and she is getting pounded on hard”
You should’ve released the torrent first.
““…CoreAVC is miles better, no h.264 decoder is better.”
in which way ?”
It’s better if you have a CPU that doesn’t suck. The software decoding mechanism is the fastest of all software h.264 decoders.
Sorry, but not everyone needs to resort to GPU accelerated decoding. If you don’t, CCCP+CoreAVC is a much better option. I myself run an i7 and my GPU is a Radeon 4870, which does not handle DXVA properly and in some cases corrupts video. Why would someone in my situation use DXVA? Maybe it’s better for YOU but for most people, who aren’t trying to watch Eva 2.22 on a netbook, CoreAVC is the best option. It uses Nvidia CUDA as well for GPU accelerated decoding if you wish, and it handles that better than MPCHC in my experience (I have had less graphical issues with its acceleration compared to MPCHC).
@Ryan: I’m sorry to hear that. Has anyone else experienced a problem with patching their 1080p file?
I’ve removed the delete command from the patch entirely in the direct download link. The torrent version I won’t take down and replace, however, so use the DDL for the patch for the non-file-deleting version.
I’d like to suggest the another alternative of just downloading the script, putting the video in the same folder as said script and just select the subtitle stream when playing the video. Make sure the script has the same name as the video or it won’t appear as an option in the subtitle track. Wanted to put this out there since a lot of people are having problems.
Thanks a lot for your lightning fast work guys. Now I’m wondering why the 1080p file is so gigantic, as even live action movies under 2 hours don’t reach this size, whereas textures of real life actors and objects are much more complicated to encode than animation ?
It’s because the bit rates for video and audio are very high.
And in my opinion, it’s totally justified. I watch a lot of Blu-ray content and I think Eva 1.11 and 2.22 are some of the highest quality films I’ve seen, better than many of the Blu-ray discs I have for live action films (which a lot of the time, have grain issues with the source).
People will start seeing the differences in the bitrates a few years from now. As monitor and TV standards continue to advance, moving to higher and higher resolutions, the visual quality of older videos naturally get worse and worse by comparison. These THORA videos with insane bitrates might seem wasteful and over the top now, but in five years, other videos will start looking like crap. The gap in visual quality will only widen as time goes on.
You can already see this with older videos of yesteryear resolutions. What used to look great in years past, look like garbage on todays monitors when viewed in fullscreen without any post-processing.
Anyway, now for my own question. The script available for download here, is the v2 script, correct? Just wanted to make sure. Good job on the TL and the whole release as a whole.
The .ass is the new one, I checked it already.
Thanks for the confirmation. Now I can go sell it on the black market.
If I download the torrent again right now from scratch, I don’t gotta patch, right?
i downloaded this but the audio was fcked up! Anyway i can fix it without redownloading?
CRC check it and see if it downloaded properly.
You will still need to patch
How do I turn down the bitrate?
My computer can’t play this movie without the video stuttering, even with no other programs running. It’s getting to be really, really frustrating.
Can anyone help?
“How do I turn down the bitrate?

Uhhh…you’ll need to just download a lower Q version. If your processor isn’t bad try CoreAVC. If you’ve got an Nvidia GPU try CoreAVC with CUDA turned on. If neither case applies to you, try setting up DXVA in MPC-HC (google DXVA MPC-HC).
One of these options might help. If none do, you need to watch a lower quality version, try 720 or 400p.
Since I still haven’t Downloaded this. May I ask if I still need to use the patch If I download the Evangelion 2.22 link above or are the Links above had also been updated and no need to be patched.
Again, if you download anything it will need to be patched. No files are being replaced.
The new patch will prevent accidental data loss, so I suggest patching and then CRC checking (google ExactFile or IgorWare Hasher) to see if it patched successfully. Then delete the original or repatch as needed.
Thank you. That was what I need to know. Now off to Downloading!
How do you run the patch? I tried it on Win7 but it closes immediately after launch. I renamed the file, put in the same folder already.
ah fuck you guys
i followed your instructions to the letter and now i have to redownload
LOL! If you followed the Instructions given then you wouldn’t have to re-download co’z you’re suppose to make a copy of the Original file just in case something goes wrong.
hello guys i had trouble patching the 720p one, I’ve renamed the file just as instructed in the notepad, same folder with the video but it doesn’t patch… the window closes instantly…
you can type in cmd prompt.
xdelta3 -ds “original_file.mkv” “patchfile.xdelta” “new_file.mkv”
that is how you patch manually. obviously substitute the generic names for real file names.
thanks ar… now i know the prob. the “.mkv” one hahaha just remove it on the file name <_<
Everytime I run the DDL update, it will stop exactly at 4.32GB on the new file. I have no idea why?
@ Satanas – implying you need the fastest paidware decoder like CoreAVC on your i7
and you are right, DxVA on ATI sucks cause AMD simply don’t fix bugs in drivers unfortunately
also don’t forget that in some files DivX decoder are faster ;p
and I also use CoreAVC in my PC (E6550@3,2GHz+nV8600GTS), didnt have netbook yet, probably I will buy laptop cause it’s faster if I will have money of course…
P.S. 1more time thanks guys for working on Eva 2.22 translation !!! GOOD WORK !!! xD
It would be great if some one could post this onto usenet. The 1080p version already there is incomplete and does not have any par files.
Don’t forgo the par files!
” implying you need the fastest paidware decoder like CoreAVC on your i7
and you are right, DxVA on ATI sucks cause AMD simply don’t fix bugs in drivers unfortunately”
You get what you pay for. I have an i7 920 and the only software decoder that properly uses all 8 cores in CoreAVC.
And yeah, a lot of people use ATI GPUs FYI, so therefore (as I’ve been saying) for people like me, CCCP+CoreAVC is the way to go. 15000+ Kbps video bit rate is a-ok. DXVA just sucks for me, even if my GPU is otherwise great.
Besides, CUDA with CoreAVC is great as well for Nvidia cards. In your situation, CCCP is still fine, you just need to manually enable DXVA (disabling ffdshow is easy. It lets you do it during the install). And the beta CCCPs are updated frequently — easy way to get the latest Haali and other filters easily. Honestly…why do you think EVERY fansub group (note: including UTW and Thora [who also recommend CoreAVC for their releases]) recommend it?
I would only agree that the latest ‘stable’ version is stupidly old, and the Betas get too many releases. They’re quite stable so I don’t really understand the logic behind such delays between stable releases.
Haz, The version currently on Usenet doesn’t need par files because the 7z have internal recovery record. That’s why their so big, but yeah if somebody was able to post our releases on Usenet that’d be really cool. I don’t have fast enough of a connection to do it myself.
Ar, Nope the one on usenet now does not work. 7Zip tells me it cannot open it as an archive. SABnzbd tells me it completed downloading successfully…
@ Satanas – but don’t you understand that you simply don’t need any ffdshow, Haali splitter or other bloat from any codec pack ?
because simply MPC-HC can do this all (contain mostly of ffdshow code in newest decoders and have far superior Gabest splitter compared to Haali)
I don’t know why all groups recommending CCCP, maybe because they will be putted on CCCP wiki or some other contract.. ?
and MPC-HC can also use 8 cores because it’s based on ffdshow (ffmpeg-mt), you must just set option to use 8 threads…
@Virtual_ManPL:
There are some reasons to use the Haali splitter included in CCCP.
A lot of encodes, specially several THORA’s BD series, come with the OP and ED in separate files that are automatically linked into the episode if you use Haali’s, but I’ve been unable to do that using just MPC-HC internal splitter.
Also about MPC-HC internal decoder (ffmpeg-mt) and CoreAVC, if you use only CPU, CoreAVC takes a tad less CPU power to decode the same files, half of it at times. If you use GPU decoding (DXVA or CUDA) both of them uses almost no CPU, but there are some people that don’t have a GPU that can do that, and there are others that just think there’s no need to make the GPU turn on, with the extra heat, fan noise, and power consumption that it implies.
“because simply MPC-HC can do this all (contain mostly of ffdshow code in newest decoders and have far superior Gabest splitter compared to Haali)”
Speak for yourself. Gabest splitter is outdated as hell.
And yeah, it’s every fansub group. You’re sitting in a massive minority.
Agree @ swa.
I’ve used enough different setups with CCCP+CoreAVC vs MPC-HC and other methods, and I’m aware of what is better.
“MPC-HC can also use 8 cores because it’s based on ffdshow”
“you simply don’t need any ffdshow”
Love the irony. If you don’t need it don’t install it, it’s deselectable. Saying Gabest is better than Haali is ridiculous though, in no way is it even slightly better or even sufficient. And if you think not a lot of groups use split-file ordered chapters, you definitely don’t watch a lot of high-quality Blu-ray rips. HDTV encodes make use of this less often.
The subtitles are causing a major slowdown at 1:14:49 to ~1:14:54 using CCCP. VSFilter seems to be experiencing a 100% CPU bug for its single thread. It is only for that small section and disabling subs fixes it. It only happens on the 1080p version. The 720p is fine.
Somewhat strangely, there is no slowdown if I use the subtitles as auto-loaded external subs. There is also no slowdown when using the MPC-HC internal subtitle filter instead of VSFilter.
It appear to be yet-another VSFitler bug, but unless jfs decides to code bug-fixes for VSFilter once again, it looks like there is little hope of it being fixed.
For reference my CPU is an AMD X2 4800+ on WinXP SP3, and it handles decoding in software just fine (~50-60% CPU usage for the 1080P). In the past, there was a similar 100% CPU VSFilter bug caused by the /be command, which jfs appeared to have fixed for this CPU. I’m unsure what’s causing the problem this time.
@ swa – Implying that I will watch OP and ED every time, not just once like I always do, I will go of course to Haali splitter, but It’s not my style to wasting time
and Gabest splitters have superior file handling, especially partially downloaded or indexless files
Same for CoreAVC, just test newest FREE DivX, ffdshow or MPC-HC decoder and you will see that performance of CoreAVC sometimes in not the best and not that much faster compared to other FREE decoders
@ Satanas – you are wrong, cause I also watch HQ files (http://imgur.com/LE2yg.png) and tested many decoders (MPC-HC, ffdshow,CoreAVC,DivX,CyberLink,ArcSoft,Elecard,Nero,MainConcept)/splitters (Gabest&Haali) configuration and every files was properly rendered with only MPC-HC
so I don’t see sense using codec pack, especially installing ffdshow which should be used when you didn’t play files in MPC-HC or simply want to use some filters
Except Haali splitter like you stated for linked files or CoreAVC for CUDA
PEACE !!!
The major slowdown happens again at ~1:45:41 and an ultra major slowdown happens during the ending credits karaoke. Ugh.
Tried commenting out all /be1, no go. Tried commenting out all /fad, no go. Quick and dirty fix is to just comment out both insert songs and the ending credits kara if you are lagging during those sections. I suspect it must have something to do with overlapping lines. *shrug*
can someone, or anyone for that matter, just put up a torrent of the patched versions of 1080/720p instead of all this (bs)… thx ^^_
Just use standalone MPC-HC or SMPlayer, works fine here on i7 + Fermi.
No need to bloat your system or pay for anything.
I totally love your XVID work on Eva 2.22. Is it too much to ask if I request for an XVID version of Eva 1.11 too? ^_^
I have a MAC
How I can see the subtitles with styles and fonts?
“Except Haali splitter like you stated for linked files or CoreAVC for CUDA”
Or lack of wanting to use DXVA because I have an ATI card.
And I’ll state again, 95% of the Blu-ray rips I have use ordered chapters from split files.
I have recently downloaded your 4.4 or so gigabyte 720p version of Evangelion 2.22 but I cannot play it.
I tried using MPC and it said it “Cannot render the file”. Then I tried Windows Media Player which also didn’t work.
Then I used FormatFactory to give me info on the file. All it had was the name of the file and its size which was 4.4 or so gigabytes.
Does this mean that I just downloaded a 4.4gb file of nothing? Can you help me understand why the file might be the way it is?
may i ask what the reason is for the script and patch files? Everything is working fine…
By the way, thank you Thora for this wonderful release!
PinkySwear… did you download and install this >>> http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp
Yes, since I have MPC I must have CCCP and all my other Mkv files work fine, even the ones from this website. The only file that doesn’t work is Eva 2.22 720p downloaded from here which even my FormatFactory reads as a only a 4.4gb file with no file info whatsoever.
Tried patching the Thora 720p a couple times now and it keeps stopping halfway and leaving a 2.42GB v2 file, anyone else experiencing this problem/know how to fix it?
To Tiexandrea: It kinda is too much to ask. Evangelion 1.11 is licensed.
I downloaded the 720P version from this site and I’m using VLC to play it. Should I still patch the file? I jumped at random spots in the video and so far the subs and audio seem to be in synch, any other problems I should be worried about?
No one could help me!
I had to figure it out myself.
Which was what I did. No problem with the file now.
