This is an exclusive for my Megalinks friends that I remuxed myself. I recently downloaded the 3GB
You know what to do, Base64 the key!

Cool, FYI you should be able to mux the video and audio streams directly from the original files without first demuxing them, it will save you a little time.
I know, I was experimenting. Using MkvExtract and MkvMerge.

I usually use MKVToolNix, how does that compare to those tools?

MKVToolNix is a package of the aforementioned tools plus some others, if you look at the Mediainfo for a file you've created with MKVToolnix it will say it was created with some version of mkvmerge

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up for me!
How did you sync the audio to the video? I'd like to try this on a different video but the timelines are different, for the two files I have.
They were both rips from the same source so there wasn't any syncing necessary. I've done it before with a couple of other Tigore rips that had bad audio. The trick is to find a rip from the same source. I've gotten lucky and the audio tracks have always been in sync. It took forever to download these 2 Sin City rips though, very few seeds/peers. This Japanese Bluray was the only 10bit rip of the Theatrical Cut that I could find anywhere.

I know a lot of youtubers that do separate video and audio recording.
What they do is have a specific thing, like a really loud clap(so they can easily see the sound spike in the editing software), an instant sound that is easy to find, they sync that moment and everything else lines up. (provided they didn't fuck with playspeeds of either source).
If you're familiar with the film you could use a similar process, find a scene with a distinct and instant sound(it doesn't need to be a huge spike, but something you can see in the visual representation or earmark well), a door slam or gunshot or whatever..
if you want to give it a shot, use MKVtoolnixGUI app. Drop your two video files into the app, it will show you all the available video and audio streams. use the checkboxes to select only the audio stream you want in the final version. now look in the Properties section on the right half of the app. Use the "delay" and "stretch by" fields to make the audio sync with your video. takes trial and error. put in values, mux the A/V then see which needs adjustment. use the delay to sync up the first words in the movie. then adjust stretch so that voices sync until the end. i haven't done this in awhile but i have made it work in the past.

honest question here.
Are you saying that a 18GB-5GB (Audio) = 13GB video from Grym has inferior quality to a 7.6GB-5GB(Audio) = 2.6GB video stream from apekat?
I get the whole x264/x265 discussion lately, but I was under the impression Grym provides very high quality encodes and that x265 could only do so much with size and that 13GB vs 2.6GB was way out question when talking similar (let alone superior) quality.
just trying to get informed.
thx

Grym's will always be better than a x265 release of the same movie. What op did was use the audio from Grym's release and muxed it into the x265.

Oh I get what he said he did and took the x265 video and muxed in the audio from Gryms.
My question was to his statement of
I read that to mean that OP believed the x265 video stream was superior to the x264 video stream. which is what I was questioning. Looking back, I suppose he could have meant it was a good stream with good audio for a small size. Otherwise, why wouldn't OP just take the Grym release and call it a day

It's not that the 18Gb Grym encoding was inferior, just that it was really, really big. lol The smaller 10bit video encoding gives you a really good picture at a much smaller size. I've been collecting 10bits for a couple months now. I'm really liking the quality, they're damn close to Bluray quality. The wider color gradient makes a huge difference in picture quality especially during dark scenes. There's a lot less of that boxy halo effect you see between light areas and dark areas. It's pretty impressive.
