New DDL server, 1080p encodes and Dual Audio (Patreon)

Heya folks,

I know we do not make many community posts here except for DDL account details being sent every month or so, but just wanted to give you a few updates.

But before that, thank you every one for supporting us every month and keep us going. Its no joke that without you folks we would cease to exist after this 10 year long run.

1. As the ains DDL server reaches its storage capatcity, we have added a new DDL server (our 6th) called chunchunmaru. You might already be using it as all new Ongoings are being released on it now.
The same new server has also been added to your FTP access folder.  

2. We finally got around to start doing 1080p versions of the shows. We have now created a separate encoding system and pipeline to handle encoding requests and 1080p. This was Ongoing shows will not be delayed or affected by these encoding queues and will always be released asap in 720p.  
The new encoding system/pipeline will handle all encoding requests and bluray/1080p encodes of the shows.
We are now also supporting Dual Audio format wherever applicable.

3. After much consideration, we are satisfied with the size to quality ratio of 1080p encodes, being around 300MB average. The above image is from the Kimetsu no Yaiba bluray 1080p encodes we did (first 5 episodes) which encoded 2GB source file to 300MB encoded file, with no visible difference to the naked eye.
So yes, enjoy the higher quality and resolution, because I already am.

In the upcoming days, I will create a separate page for 1080p release to find what we have encoded and available in 1080p already.

4. Stats

We ran some metrics scripts across all our servers and gathered some stats which were quite amazing and wanted to share with you.
