Capper in Okinawa desperately needed

| No Comments
SUPER DESPERATION MOVE, GO!

Okay, here's the deal. This channel in Okinawa, Japan is several years behind in Conan airings. On May 26th, they are (finally) reaching episode 1's remaster (with episode 2 in the following week). Back then, nobody capped this in particularly good quality. Nowadays... me and my friends don't know anyone in Okinawa. So yeah, this is a special call: I need people in Okinawa who might be able to cap these. This is extremely important. If you live in Okinawa, or know a friend who does, or anything... yeah.



So, as some of you may or may not know, the Dragon Box GT DVD releases have audio that sounds... atrocious. To put it very mildly. Recently, Tokyo MX started broadcasting Dragon Ball GT with the original high-quality audio masters (though video-wise it looks terrible). I therefore took the audio from that TV broadcast, synchronised it with the Dragon Box video, added subtitles, and bam. This is the result. Unfortunately, I don't have the audio to episode 1 (only knew this was happening after it aired), so that episode will have to wait a while (until BS Fuji airs it again next month, hopefully). In the meantime, enjoy the episode!

Subtitles are taken from the R1 DVDs with some personal tweaks, in case it isn't utterly obvious.

Request: Do you live in the United States, have either cable or satellite TV, and have the equipment to record it in good quality? If so, please check if you get this channel (TV-Japan). If you do, I would be extremely grateful if you could contact me via the comments in this entry. I am extremely interested in getting recordings of certain shows that air in this channel (including Detective Conan and the original Doraemon series, both in raw Japanese). This is VERY important. Thank you.

The Night Baron case continues. Sorry, no 10-bit encode this time, had some issues. Meh, it was mostly a bonus thing anyway. Shouldn't be a problem next time though, it was my fault.

And the second part of the Hooligan remaster is thus done. In the process, several improvements were made to the 279 sub (mostly for small details that seemed irrelevant when I subbed it the first time around, but that turned out to be plot points in the second part. Seriously, Conan picked on the absolute tinest details on this... This has thus been corrected. Also did some small extra tweaks).

Download 279 v2: 720p 10-bit, 720p 8-bit, 480p
Download 280: 720p 10-bit, 720 8-bit, 480p

Mediafire links for the files > 200mb (divided into rar parts):

(The 480p versions and 280 10-bit were already in Mediafire to begin with)

AKA "Godzilla Ripoff: the Remaster."

Okay, just got done with this. Now I can focus my Conan fansubbing time exclusively on 279-280, the first part of which airs in a few hours.

Okay, so lol April Fools joke yesterday, pretty much everybody saw through it anyway. Here's the real deal.

Trivia: The flu thing I mentioned on the previous post wasn't a lie. I really do have a flu. I feel terrible.

Sorry if there's any mistakes in there, but I caught a flu and am not feeling very well.

10-bit encoding experiment

So, I'm considering the possibility of doing Hi10p releases of anything I do from now on in addition to the normal 8-bit H.264 releases. In case you don't know what Hi10p is, basically it allows for better video quality at a smaller filesize. For more detailed info, read the following articles:

http://x264.nl/x264/10bit_02-ateme-why_does_10bit_save_bandwidth.pdf
http://x264.nl/x264/10bit_03-422_10_bit_pristine_video_quality.pdf

Basically, what I want to know is how many of you can play 10-bit video without problems. To play 10-bit video, one of the following is recommended:


CCCP
CoreAVC 3.0.1
MPlayer(2)
MadVR
LAV Video
VLC 2.0

Since I'm not expecting people to just happen to know if their system plays 10-bit video right or not, I encoded a sample clip in Hi10p, in both HD and SD. Please tell me in the comments of this post if you can play both/one/none of them along with your computer specs. This should help me figure out if there'd be interest in 10-bit releases or not. Do note that I don't plan on ONLY having 10-bit releases, at least for now. Even if you can't play 10-bit files, you won't be "locked out."

This sample clip is the next episode preview that was in the remaster of Detective Conan episode 130. It has no subtitles (since it's just a test video, there would be no point).

I would appreciate if as many people as possible replied. Thank you.

Told you guys the next release was coming up quick. I wasn't originally planning on doing this case, but the opportunity arose and... yeah. Have an awesome remaster of an awesome case. And no Belmonts, paikarus or 'apotoxins.'

Torrents tomorrow because it's 5 AM and I really need to sleep.

EDIT: Torrents added.
