Thirty years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Johnny Lawrence's life has taken a rocky turn as he tries to forget a past that constantly haunts him. He seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. But the LaRusso-Lawrence rivalry of yesteryear is reignited when their lives become intertwined with the next generation of "e;karate kids"e;.

Genre: Drama, Comedy, Action
Stars: Tanner Buchanan, Xolo Maridueña, William Zabka, Ralph Macchio, Mary Mouser, Courtney Henggeler

SSIM SCORE: 95
ENCODER NOTES: Used a slightly higher CRF value because SSIM score stayed high at lower bitrate.

NOTES ON SSIM
The SSIM measures the accuracy of the outputted encode v the source. If the source is sharp, an encode score of 90+ will also be sharp and look extremely close to the original. If a source is blurry and/or out of focus, an encode score of 90+ will still be blurry and out of focus. SSIM only measures how close it is to the source material. An "e;S##"e; is a score where filters where NOT used and an "e;FS##"e; is an encode where filters were used, usually for insane amounts of grain/noise. Filters can tilt/cheat the score in a positive way but look far different from, but possibly "e;better"e; than, the original so bear that in mind. Again, the SSIM score represents how accurately the content has been encoded when compared to the original. Addition things can skew the rating down such as home video footage, older-grainy footage, etc... To make things simple, and they are really not, just think of it as a grade; where a S91 would be an A and a S75 would be a C effort.
NOTES ON ENCODE SETTINGS 
A few notes about bitrate: Most of these encodes have bitrate caps (20-40Mbps) to prevent spikes in bitrates that cause hiccups when streaming remotely. All content is test-encoded separately, yep every single upload, before settings are chosen and in general a CRF value is chosen that will keep the average bitrate safely below the set MAX rate without losing much quality. In some rare cases, a 2-pass ABR (average bitrate) setting is used because no amount of filtering would keep the bitrate down. Enjoy!
