No pressure SJ, but do you have an estimated timeline for when the next ep is going to be done? (and are you going to do 13 as well, or start on 14 since 13 is already subbed?)

we can get the R2 version for 61 bucks a volume at yesasia.com

well, technically they are scaled from 720x480 > 872x480. Normally it's best to rip them at 720x480 and set the container to adjust the aspect ratio to 16:9 in the player (IE anamorphic 16:9). One thing I'm curious about is why you used 872 rather than 848 or 853, 872 is a bit too wide (on top of the fact it's not even mod16). Did your source just come like that?

Does this mean you're going rip them?

Congrats on your home computer fixing! Anyway, I wasn't actually saying you were upscaling them on purpose, but was instead musing that perhaps the encoder you were using was doing it on its own. I know that some encoders for Xbox360 and PS3 have presets for certain resolutions, and will upscale based on those presets automatically. No worries though, I'm not gonna pry into your trade secrets.

As for the DVDs, I acquire mine from Share. Those silly Japanese and their penchant for placing expensive Japanese DVDs in ISO format up on anonymous P2P are legendary.

Yup, that's what it means. I'm rather partial to converting DVD->huffYUV(720x480)->h.264(720x480) in Matroska and letting the container handle the 16:9 conversion. Yay for anamorphic widescreen!

Mmm..im a bit confused..
so please forget my enormous ego-question ..but how does leave the new sub episodes situation ? i mean..who does them.. are in progress..

no hurries..not asking to they being released now.. just curious about how its the status

Status: Epic dimensional limbo

who? lol

wow..

Repack it then...

Sweet! And VFR too for the Op/Ed

If you're planning on subbing any more eps (you released a few eps as HG-F right?), feel free to ask me for help (maniacdc at gmail.com). I've some fansubbing experience and can do pretty much everything but translate and karaoke. I normally encode, time, edit, and QC. I'm also a perfectionist so you wouldn't be dissatisfied with my work....

VFR would be nice and all, except it's a royal pain when someone goes to rip it. I know because they did VFR for the OP of the "Shuffle! Memories" episodes, and when I went to rip the OP out I discovered that the framerate was flucuating and thus VirtualDub didn't know what the hell to do. That took some doing to get right, haha.

We'll see. And no, HG-F is a different person. All my releases are as OMFG. If it doesn't say OMFG, it's not me.

Thanks for the assistance. I'm not sure at this point when I'll get back into the swing of it.

DVD 10 and episodes 21-22 still aren't on Share, either...

Always check the label to ensure you are receiving genuine OMFG quality. [/old advertisement]

(Sorry, that popped in my head)

ah ok, you were OMFG.

My first experience with VFR was a bit crazy too, but you learn it (BTW if you're doing x264 use megui, not virtualdub ).

And I haven't had to rip a VFR dvd yet, just convert an already ripped VFR encode to x264 (which might be easier).

Well if/when you get back into doing it I'd be up for ripping it too, from the VOB's of course, if you'd want me to (and I'd be willing to spend the time for getting the VFR to work). Just make sure to contact me via email as I don't check the forums very often.

Does anyone have a link to a direct download (ie. not a bit torrent d/l) to the raws for episode 14?

Thanks a bunch~

I'll upload 14 to sendspace for you. It'll take an hour or so. Damn my 50 kb/s upload limit.

Is there anyone translating the anime currently?

Thank you so very much, Nomake Wan! You're my hero~

anything new with the subbing of 14. has it been started

Im sure something wouldve been said if any progress has been made on it...

Patience is virture

i clearly know that, but i wanted to ask the question because i know people are curious about it. and about patience, to be honest i don't care if the eps come out, i know the story by playing the maximum tune series.

S'all good. Sorry if I sounded a bit direct.

I kinda dont know the story, there really aint a MT arcade round ere and are the stories all the same throughout all the series? (Not that MT has any relevance in this thread, sorry) Ive only got the PSP version, but its in japanese & well, I only know 2 languages, english & bad english

I am very keen to see these eps out and I'm sure everyone else is too & itl happen when it happens. The storyline is certainly starting to get interesting

After having played the PS3 game (which strictly follows the manga) I find that the Anime and WMMT don't quite get the story right. WMMT is...well, ridiculous (to be expected since it's an arcade game designed to eat your money with 80 stages) and the Anime leaves a lot out (I'm guessing because they're trying to get as much as they can into 26 episodes).

That's my take on it, anyway.

So what your saying here is that I really need to learn Japanese and get myself a PS3

Easier said than done

Probably easier learning jap

Edit: still resisting to watch 14 without subs

I know, it's tempting. But I don't think I'll do that unless they actually say they're not going to sub it. (whoever "they" are.)

Who is subbing it anyway? Or has no one attempted to start yet? I'd like to know who's awesome work to expect!

Any subbing around here please?

We must find out what happened to Kei and his Supra
