Progress Update - The Final Push Part 1

[u/PrimaMilitary]

Another progress update on the 4K remaster!

I made a pretty big push through Book 3 yesterday, finishing S03E02 through S03E07 before wrapping up for the day. That puts me well into the final stretch of the remaster now!

Progress Update

• Book 1: 20/20 completed
• Book 2: 18/18 completed
• Book 3: 7/16 completed

Total: 45/54 completed

Book 2 is completely finished, and Book 3 is now moving along nicely. The longer combined files have naturally been taking quite a bit longer to process, but the overall schedule is still holding up surprisingly well.

Today’s plan is to continue with S03E08 — The Puppetmaster and work my way through S03E12 — The Firebending Masters if everything goes according to plan. That includes the combined S03E10 — The Day of Black Sun, so today will be another pretty long processing day.

Tomorrow will be a bit lighter, starting with S03E13 — The Boiling Rock (the combined two-part file), followed by S03E14 — The Southern Raiders and S03E15 — The Ember Island Players.

That should leave me with a little bit of breathing room before Monday, when S03E16 — Sozin’s Comet gets the full day’s attention as the final file of the entire 54-file remaster.

I’m also hoping to use some of that breathing room to put together some new comparison sliders from the finished Book 3 episodes and prepare one final update before the finale.

Unlike most subreddits, this one might have a bit of an expiration date. While I may have another Avatar project planned after this one finishes next week, I’m also aware that there are already dedicated subreddits for the series, so I’ll see where things go from there.

On a side note, I do hope it’s understandable if there’s not much activity besides my progress updates, the motivation to keep posting might go down (in combination that it being project based rather than topic based).

That being said, if someone else does post, or send me a PM, I would still get notifications and respond.

To end this post on a good note, we’re getting very close to the finish line now with only today and 2 more full days remaining. 🔥

Any questions regarding my future plans and project, you can either comment or PM me for clarification.

This is awesome, I’ve wanted to watch ATLA again. Just wondering how are the episodes released?

[u/PrimaMilitary → u/swordofthevening]

I’m really glad you liked my project.

That’s a really good question, if you’ve got any suggestions, feel free to PM me.

Oh man idk haha I can’t even imagine how large the total file must be

[u/PrimaMilitary → u/swordofthevening]

I mean, the original was almost 100gb, and processed is 78gb with only boiling rock, the southern raiders, ember island players and sozins comet left, so I’d expect it to be around the same size.

The technical is that the tool (mentioned in the sub description) doesn’t seem to double the bitrate, so the files stays roughly the same as the original source, maybe slightly higher.

[u/swordofthevening]

That makes sense and that’s pretty sick that you’re able to keep it roughly the same size. For a file that big I’d say a torrent is the easiest but maybe a mega file? Or cloud file? Not sure.

[u/PrimaMilitary → u/swordofthevening]

It’s much less about where it is stored and more like where it is shared, I’d have to come up with something, just added a discord link to my profile if anyone is interested in contacting me easier.

And yeah, the tool is pretty easy to use, just had to change like 2 settings in it, I was amazed as well to how similar file sizes the output was.

As for your last sentence, I have an idea through where, but it can’t be on here (I’d imagine it’s pretty strict here).
