The video file itself is a "repack." The original Season 2 BluRay is massive (over 50GB). The "Repack" uses HEVC (x265) codec to shrink this to 2-5GB without losing 1080p quality. This is vital for streaming on lower-end devices or mobile data in the MENA region.
Season 2 is the season of Tyrion Lannister as Hand of the King. His dialogue is packed with Shakespearian wit, sarcasm, and political wordplay. Standard automated translations flatten his character. For example, when Tyrion says, "My sister has mistaken me for a mushroom; she keeps me in the dark and feeds me shit," a bad translation would be literal and nonsensical.

As you can see, the "Better" version flows like natural Arabic dialogue, while the standard version feels like a broken robot.
