| Metric | Typical DVDRip Specs (Season 1) | Quality Verdict | |--------|--------------------------------|-----------------| | | 720 p (1280 × 720) progressive scan, 2‑pass x264 CRF 18‑20 | Very good; retains fine detail in costumes and scenery. | | Bitrate | 3 000‑4 000 kbps (video); 256‑320 kbps (audio) | Adequate for most modern screens; minimal macro‑blocking. | | Audio | 5.1‑channel AAC (or AC3) at 384 kbps; stereo mix included | Clear dialogue; some loss of the low‑frequency rumble compared to Blu‑ray. | | Subtitles | Embedded SRT/PGS for English; optional for French, Spanish | Accurate timing, no “hard‑coded” subtitles. | | File Size | ~1.2 GB (720 p) / ~2.5 GB (1080 p) | Reasonable for a single episode; easy to archive. | | Encoding Artifacts | Slight chroma‑subsampling (4:2:0) visible in fast‑moving battle shots; occasional ringing on high‑contrast edges. | Acceptable; not a deal‑breaker for most viewers. |
