The problem with fansubbing

When one person delays on one episode, it kinda makes everyone else want to delay too.

You think “Well, it’s not like it really even matters -o-” and stuff.

Just some thoughts.

Recruiting encoder, btw. For DVDs.

    i can do encoding

  • YUKI.N says:

    me too… and I have the DVD.. I can encode it!! I’ll Help… even though I do have a basic knowledge.. I would like to help.. Please?

  • YUKI.N says:

    I created a sample.. Video only no audio..

    The.Melancholy.of.Haruhi-chan.Suzumiya.DVD Intro

    Codec h264

    Resolution 1280 x 848

    Container Matroska

    I uprezzed it. if you want i can encode the original size too. Just tell me what to do.. I can edit it too.. [if you want] I have After effects 7 on my pc..

    Just tell me what to do :D

    I’ll post the link tomorrow Bec. it is 10:00 PM here. I’ll upload it on Megaupload if it’s ok with you.

    Uprezzing sucks through a sewer pump. Please don’t do that. Thank you.

  • Blah says:

    Upscaling = no-no

    On a somewhat related note, nice to see some sort of movement on the blog. All of the episodes are out on DVD now right?

  • YUKI.N says:

    But it’s pretty good.. I’ll do one episode uprezzed and the same with original. Is it fine?

    BTW

    I created a sample.. Video only no audio..

  • YUKI.N says:

    LOL! I think I will not be doing the uprezzed one! [ But if you want to. it doesnt matter with me ]

    I’m finished with the intro of the original now.

    Seeing the wonderful File size drop. I think i should be doing some 2-pass encoding from now on. [I didn't do a 2pass encoding on the first one. Because i know that 2pass encoding will be more time consuming than 1 pass :D ]

    So here it is. [ Now with audio because of the remarkable file size drop.]

  • YUKI.N says:

    O i forgot to change the description of the resolution its

    720 x 478 The rest is okay

  • kingalekz says:

    Not the best settings you used there: no Trellis, no mixed refs, no 8×8dct, no B-Pyramid, no weighted B-Frame prediction, you could use more reference frames and B-Frames, etc.
    Doesn’t look good either.

    I’m no encoding expert myself, but looks like you did not know what you’re doing.

  • YUKI.N says:

    ahhh…. Btw The thing that you were right about is that I use only few Ref frames.. i study through experimentations. Like i said in earlier posts. I’m just familiar with basic options. I will use 13 as my Ref frames. and try using Auto as D Pred. 2 as trellis and so on.. I’ll experiment. For the sake of completion. [YAAAAAAAA]

    Btw I’m finished with EP1. 2 passed and other things. If I will be recruited. my files will be ranging from 30 – 60 Mb [ As of today ] This is v1. I’ve done this before i’ve read kingalekz’s comment so it might not look as elegant as i try to familiarize myself with the encoder.

    This is 1

    BTW. you’re right about that. I don’t know what i’m doing. maybe i should try reading the documentation.

  • YUKI.N says:

    OK. I’ve been working this for a few minutes. but ithink encoding it to mp4 will get much better result than directly putting it on mkv containers.

    Here’s the thought. I will try to encode the intro to mp4. then put them onto mkv. but it will take a few mb’s more than mkv[aprrox. 3-4 mb.]

    and. The uprezzed one seems to be the same way as the Original one. it maybe just me but.. who knows right?

    sorry for turning this to a forum-like site. but i really want to help in the development and completion of this project.

  • kingalekz says:

    err… you want to mux one container into another, or did I get that wrong? You know the difference between a codec and a container?
    You encode to h.264. Muxing it first to mp4 then to mkv shouldn’t do any difference to the h.264 file itself.

  • greator says:

    Please for god sake, Do Not Upscale the DVD.

  • YUKI.N says:

    Ok. Thanks for the support. I’ve learned a lot during these past weekend. Up scaling is no good– h.264 will not change even if you change their containers. Instead of Posting vids here I guess I should be using Screen shots because it is more convenient.

    This is the Screen shots in The ORIGINAL DVD

    I posted screen shots because you can open 2 Browsers copy the 2 links paste it on both browsers then compare.
    I think it’s quite good. But if it isn’t good enough. I guess I’ll try to twiddle more settings here

  • The Gentleman Caller says:

    I know that you guys can pull through, just keep at it. We have faith in all of you!

  • Only interested if you already know what you’re doing.

  • The Gentleman Caller says:

    So, have you found an encoder at this point though? What about any TLC’s? I may not be able to help on the former, but I do have a friend that I believe is versed in both Japanese and English well enough to be a TLC if you’re still in need of one.

    Send me an e-mail please. :)

  • SuperKad says:

    I am a TLC here, yet the owner is trying to blank me out for no reason. :/

  • YUKI.N says:

    SuperKad Try posting in the forums. I’ve posted once. he replied to me twice :D . Just prove it to Shamisen I’ll know you can pull it through ..

    His Decision for me is

    DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!

    Rejected.

    BTW. how’re the DVD releases? can i re-sync the subs and post the rips here? I mean, They’re not complete but it’s gonna be nice [Right?]

  • SuperKad says:

    I’ve tried all lines of communication, IRC, MSN, DATs forum PM, no reply except for *pass*. I was already a regular TLC here, so it’s not like I’m new or anything, I just don’t understand the problem here. :/
