This is a really popular song and one of my favorite from all video games now, but I couldn't find any version of it that DIDN'T sound compressed or edited. This completely unedited and taken directly from the Undertale soundtrack release, which was in 320kbps MP3, which of course has been put into AAC for YouTube.

The audio stream has no lost bits (as I encoded it to 384kbps even though the original is 320, just to be absolutely sure), and the video stream is just a 720p 15fps video at minimum bitrate with dynamic GOP (because it's just a still image and I want to make the video as easy to load as possible - but 720p is needed to trigger YouTube to stream the raw MP4 and high-quality audio). That means the video is as easy to load / low-bitrate as possible while the audio channel is still lossless.

So there you have it - A lossless, pure, and efficient version of Megalovania. Gosh, I'm not one to do much but when nobody else is gonna do it right I guess I will.

Before anyone calls me out on it - Lossless in this sense means that there should be no loss between the official OST release and this video. Toby didn't release the soundtrack in a truly lossless format (like FLAC or ALAC), even if he did, YouTube would convert them to AAC after uploading as it doesn't support any lossless formats (too big and not streaming-friendly). So even if he did, it wouldn't matter for YouTube.

But this is as close as you're going to get. For all intents and purposes 320kbps through stereo channel is basically lossless anyway - in many studies people couldn't tell the difference between 320kbps MP3s and lossless formats.

Also, I know it doesn't loop seamlessly, but the released OST just doesn't for some reason. I think Toby did something different with Megalovania in the actual game (titled "mus_zz_megalovania.ogg" in the game files, which by the way is much more lossy than the actual OST release) to make it loop better. Either he trimmed the audio or told the GameMaker Engine to handle it a bit differently. Regardless, I wanted this to be the unadulterated unedited OST, so that's what it is.

And it's 11 hours because YouTube says that's their size limit (11 hours or 125GB, whichever comes first).

Please support the creator, Toby Fox, by purchasing the soundtrack yourself. You can find it on Undertale's Steam page or on pretty much any music platform by looking for it.
