That was only one uploader process that required 4 encodes to add them.
As far as I know, it can't be done in less than 2 with the crappy tools available to remove DRM.
But if the source doesn't contain DRM, it can be done in a single encode. Meaning that if I decided to add watermarks to my encode which are all from DVD ISO, the quality would be exactly the same.
But it's true that every encodes affects quality in a bad way(unless it's done in a lossless way, but that's not the case here with the available tools)
I somehow feel targeted by this reply. lol.
I will have to download some of his watermarked uploads though since he posted ANND-111 so the collector in me has to complete the series and be able to provide reuploads for it if the links ever go down.
7898789: It's very kind of you to have added the warning.
The problems with watermark is that to be effective(meaning almost impossible to remove without trace), they have to be intrusive.
The best place to put them without bothering the normal user who will watch your video are:
-During the title since you can put it in solid text in the middle of the screen and make it match with the colors of the title.
-During a transition between two scene where you can once again put it anywhere in the screen.
-During the end credits since you can also put it anywhere.
-By adding a section of video at the beginning or at the end of the movie so that you don't interfere with the actual video.
You can also make it move during any of those to make it very hard to remove properly.
If I had to add watermarks to a video, that's the way I would do it and it would be ok for my "high standard of viewing pleasure" as someone else puts it.
The only problem is that not all JAV encodes contain the first 3 and any non essential scenes like those can be simply cut out in a new version.
It's sad that you seem to have chosen to stop posting since even though they may not voice it, I'm sure the majority really appreciate your efforts and all the video you share with us.
