Quoting: GuestHow recently have they changed their encode settings? The last shows i watched from Crunchyroll aired last year (2016).About 2 weeks ago I believe. For basically all shows release before that you get ~1300 kb/s or sometimes ~3000 kb/s...
A combined bitrate of ~6000 kb/s should be good...

One other thing to note is, that in the past they used to switch out videos one week after their initial release with very low bitrate encodes (about 1300 kb/s) and a lot of their catalog is still only available in this encode. They claim to plan to reencode their entire catalog with the new higher bitrate encode, but so far I cannot confirm this has happened for any older show. Here [External Link] is an expample of the garbage you get for older shows.

Quoting: GuestUm don't know how your standards are but for comparison as some people have pointed out, regular TV stream (even at lower resolutions) has better video quality. This is due to Crunchyroll using low bitrate witch results in compression artefacts and also an old codec (seeing as they still use flash) that has poor quality colour. Not to mention the audio quality is also kinda poor with only 200 something Kbits bitrate (and we dont know what the codec is but i doubt it's vorbis).You can use youtube-dl to download from crunchyroll so it is possible to see exactly what codecs and encoding options they use. They recently made a switch to cloud based streaming and changed their encode settings, so for newly released shows the use x264 core 142 (which is still a pretty old release of x264) and AAC (LC) 44100 Hz audio with a combined bitrate of ~6000 kb/s. Here [External Link] is an example mediainfo output.

Well that's certainly a pleasant surprise.
I guess it'll soon be time to butter up some poppers!

Although i'm pretty sure it's never going to happen, Dark Souls would be amazing.
