June 12th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
sweet its finally released yay!
June 12th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
w00t loving it, love the pictures comment also.
Only thing i wondering is all these releases witch are keeping up with the animes i downloading and watching but the KZC second batch and the DVD rips of asu no yoichi seem to have died. o.O
June 12th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
i honestly do not understand why people don’t want to download h.264. ERASE that fucking k-lite codec pack or whatever and install cccp. Or just install FFDshow and matroska splitter. that’s all you need. Damn…
People who say that want it so they can watch it on their streaming dvd player or whatever: GET A NEW ONE WHICH SUPPORTS H264 WHICH IS NOT A NON BRAND PLAYER -or- GET A FREAKIN’ VIDEO CONVERTER
damn.
Good stuff chihiro
June 12th, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Oh come on! I need XviD so I can covert it to mp4 for my PSP. I’ll wait till Sunday, But Pleeaasse don’t drop it.

Anyone who needs xvid: Get a converter… takes way less time to actually learn HOW to encode and to actually encode it. I use MeGUI. It has one click encoding capabilities. It’s super sweet. It converts in any format you need.

“Oh come on! I need XviD so I can covert it to mp4 for my PSP. I’ll wait till Sunday, But Pleeaasse don’t drop it.” -Keviskie
PSPVC is your friend for h.264 conversion. I tell you, the conversion can be as small as 50mb for a normal 300mb episode with good enough quality for it’s size and readable subs. I’ve done the same for Xvid ones and boy do they look horrible unless hey are at least 100mb upwards. Using PSP Video 9 with XVid requires at least 250mb+ for a decent one.
GET H.264 NAO!
My codec pack is VistaCodecs Pack 4.64 for XP/Vista and Win7Codecs for Windows 7.
June 13th, 2009 at 1:51 am
Thanks Chihiro for providing us with such well made subs and file quality.
Would also be great if you guys could release k-on with op/ed before the cut version.
Cheers
June 13th, 2009 at 1:58 am
Ortix, care to share how to use it? Maybe a tutorial on your site?
June 13th, 2009 at 2:16 am
The only reason I download the avi’s is because you cut out the OP and ED sequences in your mkv releases. That, in my opinion, is inexcusable.
June 13th, 2009 at 2:19 am
rubbrchikin, if you have the OP and ED from the first EP in the same dir as the .mkv it will load it -_-
June 13th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Guys,
Not trying to promote anything but, there is a software called MediaCoder that converts almost any video to your liking. It’s also free.
http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
Check it out. Quite easy to use. Convert your own AVI. It’s very simple.
June 13th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Sure i can make a tutorial. It’ll be up either in half an hour or tomorrow (it’s pretty late
)
June 13th, 2009 at 2:40 am
Thanks a lot!
June 13th, 2009 at 2:49 am
@Aaron
True enough, but that only works in Windows because the only mkv demuxer which currently supports ordered chapters is Windows-only. As a Linux user, I cannot use ordered chapters, and so I hate them. If they worked in Linux, I might like them (I’m too biased at the moment to say for sure), but I don’t really like the idea to begin with. However, I understand why some people like ordered chapters (less disk space required, the encoder doesn’t have to worry about retiming the karaoke, etc), so I don’t think that it’s worth kicking and screaming over.
Personally, I download the h264 and just put up with the irritation of the ordered chapters. Still, if I had a choice, I’d choose to not have ordered chapters. And I really don’t understand why anyone would really want xvid. Obviously, some folks do, but h264 is just all around superior. h264 is an entirely different generation of codec from xvid and really should be replacing it.
In any case, thanks for the release.
June 13th, 2009 at 3:06 am
The problem I have with h.264 encode is the fact that VLC on *MAC* can’t seem to handle the ordered chaptering. =\
My loss, I guess.
/patiently waits for Sunday to roll around
June 13th, 2009 at 3:16 am
I can run the h.264 just fine. I just choose to download the AVI so I can watch it on my 42″ LCD using my Xbox 360 and not on my 19″ computer LCD.
June 13th, 2009 at 3:21 am
40″*
June 13th, 2009 at 3:24 am
@Aaron:
Sorry, that doesn’t work. Unlike Kalessin I run Windows, though my reason for not being able to play ordered chapters is because the Haali splitter (which as he pointed out is the ONLY MKV splitter out there that supports that) is not available for x64, or really for /any/ /other/ /OS/ than Windows 32-bit.
June 13th, 2009 at 3:41 am
Another good episode, and we’re also getting so close to the ending now, eh?
June 13th, 2009 at 3:45 am
I’ll simply wait.
I watch my animes one episode per night. If I don’t get to watch it, I just wait the next day.
Helps make the feeling and curiosity of what’s going to happen next last.
June 13th, 2009 at 3:54 am
Here we go guys, the uber almighty tutorial i just wrote up in an hour or so…
http://www.ortixdesign.com/video/megui-the-converting-powerhouse.html
This will encode your video’s in a superior quality to AVI and is simply awesome. Or you can download any other conventional converter.
June 13th, 2009 at 3:57 am
Doesn’t play here, Halli + ffdshow stops showing subtitles after the opening, VLC doesn’t even get past the prolouge (it just restarts); I haven’t had a chance to test totem or mplayer yet.
Can you NOT use VLC?
June 13th, 2009 at 4:26 am
I used CCCP, but the video don’t match with the audio(the audio seems to be running with the time just fine, but the video is like slowed), used VLC, they’re running the same but hangs periodically(like trying to match up the video and audio), same with Kmplayer.. so, I’ll wait for XviD.
June 13th, 2009 at 4:39 am
you see the problems of video geting slower than audio is not a problem of the encode.
actually its a problem cause by less system memory.
so i recomend to close any other background programs while runnng it ( like fire fox , and the irus guard, these two eat so much memory ).
I had the same problem and after I do this I can play the files with no problems at all,
June 13th, 2009 at 5:12 am

wow love the small file size guys definitly gonna stick to h.264 versions from now on(running low on space on my anime hdd)
June 13th, 2009 at 6:49 am

@rubbrchikin
Haali splitter doesn’t have to be native x64 for ordered chapters to work. I installed it using the same cccp installer I used for my x86 machine and both computers play the ordered chapters fine. If you can’t play ordered chapters with cccp go into options and check whether Matroska is ticked under source filters. If it is disable it and try playing the ordered chapters again.
June 13th, 2009 at 7:55 am
Xvid for DVD player and see it on my TV…
Ill wait till sundag!
June 13th, 2009 at 8:01 am
Seems mplayer was the only thing I could get to play it, Totem had all sorts of stuttering and freezing.
And no, I can not use VLC because it skips back to the beginning of the file after the prolouge finishes -_- (I have a searing hatred for the program anyway, so no big loss there).
You didn’t get it. Do not use VLC. It’s really crap.

“XviD is a stupid codec that is just as playable on all computers as h.264″
Yeah, but i just love to watch anime on DVD (using RW disc or pen-drive) and h.264 is not playable on most of DVD’s (at least in my country)
Sorry if I wrote something wrong, but i’m from Poland, and i’m not sure if know english good enough.
June 13th, 2009 at 10:23 am
i use both mkv/h264 and xvid formats….
one thing that people tend to forget, mkv’s require more cpu power than xvid, not everyone has money for higher or mid end pc’s. some still use the pre-dual core celerons, which even with 1GB++ RAM and a 512mb DDR2 video card still can’t or have trouble playing h264 because of it’s lower cache… 128 kB to be precise, way below the processors of today, even the newer celerons can match the older pentiums systems…
anycase, if you can’t wait for the xvid, you can still DL the h264 and convert it, lots of one click converters out there, but please to those who prefer the h264, don’t attack those who still rely on the xvids. ^_^
June 13th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Thanks Ortix!
Much appreciated
June 13th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
“XviD is a stupid codec that is just as playable on all computers as h.264 of the same resolution, takes more filesize for lower quality, and doesn’t support ordered chapters. Download the h.264 or wait until Sunday.”
First, The main problem people find with .MKV is some groups can not time it properly to save their asses. The sync of voice to lip movement and .ass is so far off that the thing is totaly unwatchable. I’m not complaining about Chihiro, their releases have been pretty good. But other groups have made me wonder what they were doing. So, I will wait for a hard coded Xvid.
Second, When played on a normal computer monitor or TV for that matter, who can REALLY tell the difference? Honestly, I know that I can’t. To test it I had my brother do a comparison run of both standards using K-on as the basis. After watching six episodes, (3 Xvid/3 H.264) He asked me why we were doing this. He couldn’t see any difference. This was done on a Computer with a 24″ wide screen and on a 36″ HD TV. I agreed with him. There was no difference.
“Codec snobbery is verboten!”
June 13th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
I use XviD because it’s easier to convert and most DVD player can play it.
June 13th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
sigh… people still don’t get it. I give up. I’ll just go out with one bang:
USE CCCP, USE MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC (HOME CINEMA), USE MEGUI TO CONVERT, FUCK XVID.
There you have it.
June 13th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Damn is Anirena’s website gunna be back up soon i was just downloading them from episode 2 and it cut out! Damn!

^ this is bullshit, and flat out wrong. My old PC could not handle h.264 with the same settings as XviD. If you don’t care about people with old computers, so be it, but don’t make up crap like that.
June 13th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
LOL THE HEADLINES xDD FUCK YEAH CHIHIRO!!!
June 13th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I like xvid because a lot of dvd players out there play xvid/divx, some also support .sub and .srt sub files. And xvid is also easy to convert to dvd video(for dvd players that do not play data dvds or cds) with nero.

June 14th, 2009 at 2:59 am
@Ortix:
While he used flaming words and I won’t, you have made a fatal flaw in your reasoning. That flaw is that not everyone uses Windows.
BTW, fix for 64-bit Windows users, tried and verified: You do not need CCCP to play MKVs with ordered chapters. THE FIX: get ffdshow and the Haali Media Splitter (google them). I’m running Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and have ffdshow tryouts rev 2832 (March 28, 2009) installed (64-bit codec). Haali only comes 32-bit and won’t work with 64-bit Media Player Classic, it works with 32-bit Media Player Classic though, and also works just fine with 64-bit ffdshow. You’ll know you’re not DOING IT WRONG when you see the Haali tasktray icon show up (if you’re like me and hate extra tray icons, there’s an option to shut that off in the Haali config, which installs to the start menu). You’ll also know you’ve achieved success when the OP and ED automatically play.
Hope this helps other 64-bit folx.

June 14th, 2009 at 6:12 am
I prefer the DIVX release over the H264 not because it’s the much superior H264 codec but because it’s in .avi. that means it’s watchable on my 360 which has an excellent upscaler. My computer is in no way capable of outputting HD so if i try to watch it, it skips horribly, and end up watching the DIVX anyways.
June 14th, 2009 at 8:18 am
AniRena is up since now.
Server died right when I was at a convention (how akward when shit happens when your having vacation.. -_-)
Anyway, it’s working properly again after consulting server provider.
June 14th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Whether is Mkv or Xvid, it does not matter….. Avi is faster to convert to other format than Mkv….and do you notice that the fonts on Mkv is always larger and different kind of font to Avi???
Do not quarrel over this kind of small matter……
Some of us still need XVID or AVI version…..
Just Wait….
Thanks Chihiro!!
June 14th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Actually from what I see, XviD has sharper edging, which makes it look better than h264. It also feels like the audio would sound better, but that’s probably just because of my preference. So if I’d do anything, I’d drop h264.
I don’t know what traumatic issues you have had with VLC, but to me the player doesn’t matter at all, only using XviD would’ve also saved me the trouble of downloading CCCP to go with mpc, but that’s the smallest of problems.
June 14th, 2009 at 11:44 am

Myoukochou and everyone else who uses Xbox Media Center : TVersity. You seriously can’t say you watch anime through Xbox media center, when you could use TVersity to stream it. YES, you can stream .MKV’s and they work o.O
^HyuGarona. Your comment is the most retarded thing I’ve read in a while. Drop H264.. keep XviD.. omg seriously.
June 14th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Is it not a matter of preference? I don’t see my comment “retarded” in any way, and I’m just telling of my own experiences :/
If people like h264, then there’s no reason to drop it, but the same goes for XviD. I’d only hope that both codecs would be released at the same time, because making XviD watchers wait 2-7 days is honestly frustrating. It’s up to the people in Chihiro
June 14th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
okay i give up… people just DO NOT understand what i’m trying to say… so i will say it one more time…
h264 is superior. You cannot say that xvid is better. Period. Now if you DO NOT want to wait for the xvid… it is obviously faster to download the h264 version and ENCODE it. I wrote out a humangous tutorial on how to do it with MeGUI for excellent quality. MeGUI even has freakin’ one-click encoding.
http://ortixdesign.com/video/megui-the-converting-powerhouse.html READ THIS. Instead of waiting 5-7 days, download megui, and use that.
Also, CCCP works fine on x64 vista. I run x64 vista and the only thing that is different is that i have to open the 32bit explorer to get the thumbs generated. Other than that: perfect. And opening the 32 bit explorer is easy. I just “explore” through a 32 bit software.
June 14th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Yes, but you’re retarded to say XviD looks better than h264, and that the sound quality is different. While in reality, I never noticed different in audio, and it definitely does NOT look better.
June 14th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Haiz…..just wait for a few days…..it won’t kills to wait for a few days…..
Both should keep…..
if you want to watch it first, download MKV first……
I will wait for the AVI…..
Thanks, subbers!!!
June 14th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I don’t care what codec is used as long as I can watch it and enjoy it. Sure smaller file size is great, but at the same time, a 1TB hard drive, exclusively used for storage, and a fast internet connection can go a long way.
At any rate, I stick to h264.
Also, xvid may be helpful for those who don’t feel like tweaking MPC in Windows 7. CCCP was installed, yet for the longest time, Windows 7 would not show subtitles. Finally got that taken care of though.
June 14th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
@Ortix, thank you and I did notice the tutorial and I thank you for the help, I will probably use MeGUI.
@Distrance, all I can say is that maybe your senses of sight and hearing have rusted. Or am I hallucinating which causes me to at least see better quality? Nevertheless, only XviD causes it then
June 14th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Wow. So much tl;dr, and yet, I did anyway.
Thanks for the tutorial Ortix, I’ll take a look. I could probably use it to convert HD YouTube vids to avi too right?
EVERYBODY STOP YELLING GODDAMN WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN FFFFFFFFUUUUUUU-
srsly, we know some like h.264. we know some like XviD. Half of this thread is people repeating what other already people said before. Each format has their strong and weak points.

June 14th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
I quite happily watch 1080p MKV, I love Matroska. It can be a bit bleeding edge at times but it’s flexible in ways nothing else has been. Variable frame rates, ordered chapters, correct rendering of animated subs with embedded fonts but with buffering so that it doesn’t hitch or skip when the subs change—not to mention good H.264 encodes (and honestly, AVC is a much better video codec than ASP, that’s by design because it’s more complex).
The drawback is simply that all the added flexibility .MKV brings to the table is tricky to implement perfectly, and the anime community was, and still is, the first main early adopters of this. Add on top of that that very small things like XBMC may never decode H.264 properly, they may well just not have the oomph. I’m still experimenting with the perfect setup (currently I’m playing with the current CCCP betas, because I like the bleeding edge, but be aware it can be rough at times—good, very smooth, things are coming though).
It’s fine to play on my computer, but it’s troublesome to transcode to that quality, it really is, especially in realtime (note that for example, support in mplayer/mencoder for ordered chapters is finicky, but if you get the right patches, it’s doable). I do plan on setting up a DLNA media server (definitely not TVersity, a good one!) which will do everything including transcoding to XBMC or Xbox360 at some point, but regard it as a major project as to get playback perfect I may well have to submit some code patches. So be it!
I only care ’cause I want to watch the anime on the TV with my friends, rather than on the monitor, and at the moment, we’ve only really set up XBMC for that.
…until then, however, since I’m lazy, someone can just do the transcode for me and we can torrent that like always, since that’s essentially what the xvid release is.
Thank you for it anyway, Chihiro! *hugs*
June 14th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
1080p mkv, where ? Afaik most, if not all releases are 720p and/or 480p. Im not talking just about Chihiro, but in general.
June 14th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
@Distrance:
I have only download 1080p if availalbe. Most of the stuff is released 1080p… check boxtorrents. They have the animatrix in 1080p. Uber awesome.
June 14th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I hope the Xvid one goes out now!
June 14th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
1080p is usually used on Blu-Ray (usually with very high bitrate H.264 @ L4.1). Do yourself a favour and see if you can pick one up. It looks pretty good, especially on sharp sources like anime.
However, it can’t be broadcast using current systems as far as I know—the bitrate needed is too high currently, so we won’t see it in broadcast. 1080i is possible, however not done as often as people would like, even on HD channels (“upscales” are prevalent, which are not much better than a good media player upscale, or at least, if they are, then we need better media players! *grin*).
With appropriate postprocessing on sources like anime, it’s possible to reconstruct the 1080p from 1080i because of the framerate, but deinterlacing on something like that needs to be done very carefully, because for the ~1-2gig release you’d be looking at, you’d want to be pretty sure it’s perfect so there’s no v2. Especially because of variable frame rates.
And many computers would be highly stressed by it; hardware acceleration would be the way to go (although I do use DVXA right now, so that’s already here!).
Can’t see 1080p taking off for fansubs. The raw quality really isn’t there, especially on some broadcasts. 720p is more practical for the moment, until the codec crown is taken from H.264.
I’m sure much better compression is possible, doubly so for anime sources which contain tend to sharp line art, gradients, simplex and parallax pans and other translations, and rather distinctive movement patterns—that’s something that lends itself to better transforms, better movement estimation, much better handling of colourspaces than decimation/blocking… Right now, however, H.264 is pretty good, and the trouble with a more complex codec, as everyone’s discovering with H.264, is that it often has higher decoding requirements, not to mention it taking years to optimise a decoder or tweak an encoder well.

I have this same problem running H.264. I even have a fairly high end computer, a 2.4 ghz Intel with a gig of ram, though I have only a 128mb video card, and still the video lags behind the audio. I use CCCP with Media Classic Player as well.

I’ve tried doing this as well, removing as many running programs as I can, and still have the same problem. My solution has been to use a comverting program called Super (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html). You have to navigate through several pages to finally get to the download page, but it works very well. I think it will even do PSP and other mobile formats. It can also batch process several videos at the same time as long as you use the same settings.

some people just don’t know how to keep their computers clean. I wanna bet that one every single computer here whose users claim that it can’t handle h264 has some sort of cpu/memory hogging application. Probably a virus or something.
June 15th, 2009 at 1:01 am
pls. don’t drop the Xvid >_<
June 15th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Ah yes I can finally drop the Xvids
June 15th, 2009 at 2:55 am
thanks for the xvid release
lol at the link
June 15th, 2009 at 3:17 am
Kokoa!
June 15th, 2009 at 4:30 am
thanks Xvid releases….
even too small to click it
June 15th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Hey guys, could you help me out in this one? My problem is that I would like to download h.264 versions of all k-on episodes, but whenever I h.264 videos to .mp4 so that I may play it on my ipod classic, the subs are being removed. I am using xilisoft video converter ultimate and I also have pspvc. What should I do? I just downloaded .avi formats of the k-on episodes that I wanted but I read in here its file size disadvantages that’s why I would just like to use h.264. Any help would be surely appreciated. thankyou.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Another question is, why is it whenever I download these h.264 sometimes I can only play the first 3 minutes of the episode and then it loops back to the beginning. I am using VLC media player. And whenever I play it on wmp it plays all the way but does not contain subtitles except for the opening part.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:27 am
@ticktock:
well im not pretty sure abt it, cause me myself tried on different MKV files with different programs to change it to Xvid, well wht i faced was that the video gets converted perfectly, however ya the problem was in the subs, but not the normal subs of the episode it was the typesetting ones, u know like translated ADs in the streets and such or translations noted in the top of the screen….it just gets screwed when it goes into *avi container with Xvid compression, im not sure how to fix it….maybe some1 here can help u out…
another thing i just watched the Xvid version, i just wanted to make sure the ‘Preview’ in the ending was like cut or something or was it to be intended that way…just wanna make sure…thx for the release anywayz
June 15th, 2009 at 11:39 am
@Ortix
the convertion guide you made is awesome. it converts the mkv to avi perfectly but its not including the subtitle. any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve tried this on a completely clean OS and it still does the same thing. I’m thinking it has something to do with the Intel processor because I didn’t have any problem when I was using an AMD 3400+ processor.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Lol. The obvious problem for not being able to handle h264 is simple. ( Assuming by meaning not being able means that it lags ). Your video card and/or memory amount and/or processor sucks.
Even with my previous PC, h264 anime and videos lagged so that video and audio went out of sync, and i tried this after clean install of Windows, but the problem was there. My previous PC had 2GB of ram, some intergrated video card that liked to use my ram as it’s video memory, and 3.0Ghz P4 processor. In my case, it was most likely the video cards fault.
Also, anyone who uses VLC player and complains something doesn’t work as it should = DO NOT USE VLC. VLC uses outdated codecs and they can not be updated. Apparently CCCP is outdated aswell, but CCCP is far superior to VLC. If you want something that’s updated then get FFDShow and whatever player you desire. But seriously, don’t use vlc.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
@Distrance: Ah, but CCCP, in fact, uses FFDShow…
As for the lagging problems: If you got a too-old machine, you might try to install the CoreCodec. Yes, it does cost money, but those who are capable of using a search engine will stumble across leaked versions (this is, if you’re too stingy / too broke / whatever to shell out a moderate amount of cash).
With CoreCodec-on-Haali, even a prehistoric machine like a P4-2.4GHz with Intel Onboard graphics should have no problems with 720p mkv encodings.

@mad eye moody
I see, so what could be causing this? why is it when we convert h.264 mkv files to mp4 the subtitles get lost? I tried converting to other formats and still the subtitles get lost.
June 15th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
but the thing is, i converted the 2nd opening vid included on episode 9 to mp4 and the subs where there, so what is going wrong when I convert the whole videos?
June 15th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
@Ortix your tutorial is cool but you said “I’ll be using Chihiro’s K-On! episode 11″ and you used ep 9
June 15th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
thanks for the release
June 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
@wonderer: Okay… don’t panic. It’s fixable. Make sure you have CCCP installed. Also make sure that in the haali media splitter (go to start->allprograms-> combined community blabla-> haali config) the autoload vs filter is enabled. You can also do that in the cccp config. If that doesn’t work, try enabling the subs in the ffdshow. I’ll add a FAQ to the tutorial.
@Zig:
It was late… i probably miss clicked. Does it really make that much of a difference?
June 15th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
FAQ is up. All questions will be added to the FAQ
June 15th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Is there no preview of next weeks episode in the Xvid?
June 15th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
@ ticktock:
well as far as i can tell but im not pretty sure cause i didnt try it myself, if u try to encode a part of the video that dosent have any kind of typesetting in it, then the subs will show up normally in there position (saying its an mkv “h.264″ to >>> avi “Xvid”), however if u convert the video as a whole, im sure the converter that u use will automatically screw the subs positioning or might get lost while converting the whole thing, im gonna try out the guide the guys r discussing above and give it a shot and see wht happens
June 15th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Subtitles work perfectly fine when the decoder for the encoder is set properly. You can simply enable the subs (if they don’t show up after encoding) in ffdshow. easy as that.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
oh btw: mah site is down. Data center blackout… they’re restarting all them hamster servers
June 16th, 2009 at 2:21 am
No next preview on the XviD Version? T^T
June 16th, 2009 at 2:54 am
@ Ortix:
lol man i just finished finishing encoding and eevrything was fine and no subs showed up i was like WTF did i do…lol…..i refreshed ur page and vwala the answer was there updated in a thea really tiny FAQ section XD….anywayz gonna give it another try….btw abt the file size it was 195 MB when i finished the whole thing, why is that…i did make it 175 mb..however it still showed as 195….is it something with the audio ??? or did i miss something ???
June 16th, 2009 at 3:39 am
@mad eye
have you managed to convert the h.264 to mp4 flawlessly?
June 16th, 2009 at 4:52 am
T_T it’s almost over…….is there like gonna be a season 2?
June 16th, 2009 at 5:22 am
@ ticktock:
well not yet, cause im freakin studying “Engineering Machine tool design” @ the moment so i got my hands tainted with stuDYING, and i got my final exam in like 2 hours from now….i will manage to have free time after that…i will keep u posted =D
June 16th, 2009 at 5:41 am

Ok, I’ll wait. Thank you very much mad eye.
June 16th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
@madeye
That’s because it’s xvid. The size thing works flawlesly with h264. It might also be the audio because it’s AC-3. But i doubt it. It’s probably the xvid scrambling up extra pixel information. What you should do instead is use the variable bitrate version. Hi Def anime = 1500 KB/s Standard def = 800 KB/s. If you really want to play it safe and don’t want to see ANY form of pixelation go with 1700 for high def (high action) and 1000 for SD I’ll add it to the faq as well.
June 16th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
@ Ortix.
Lol late reply as I didn’t see the message before…
Like I said, anime that Chihiro releases etc. MOST of it is 720p not 1080p. Oh so, you can find Animaxtrix in 1080p, so fucking what ? There’s other MOVIE Releases in 1080p too. And also ” Most of stuff is released in 1080p, check boxtorrents they have Animaxtrix ”… So because they have Animaxtrix, it means MOST of stuff is released in 1080p. I like your logic ( not ). But like it was said after your comment, normal fansubs WONT release 1080p simply because it isn’t being broadcasted as such on the TV. When fansub groups do a dvd rip and sub it, then it *may* be 1080p but not otherwise.
June 16th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
Distrance:
well, i don’t feel like re-reading my post, but i (in my head) never claimed that 1080p is the way to go. I don’t quite remember what we were quarreling about, but i there are 1080p anime releases. I have a torrent website which only releases blu-ray anime.

thanks for the Xvid version. Now for ep8 of WS version
– keep up the good work!
June 18th, 2009 at 3:29 am
The only thing MKV has over AVI in my opinion is that the subtitles are able to be soft-subbed, thus guaranteed to be sharp, readable, and pretty no matter how scaled up the video is, rather than part of the video stream. Other than that… I could give a crap less about DVD-style chaptering and multiple audio streams, it’s usually completely useless when you’re talking about anime.
One thing people don’t seem to be able to grasp is that MKV does not mean H.264 any more than AVI means XviD. I really don’t see why Chihiro doesn’t just release their SD version of K-On as an AVI with an H.264 stream, except that then it might not play on some loser’s generic DVD player and they’ll then BAWWWWW about it in these comments here.
Also, the only yuri pairing I truly want to see is Mio x Azu (it’s practically wincest!)

As Anon said before I am also having trouble watching this anime in h264, on Ubuntu even more issues then Anon in fact. Because some players wont use my X-FI Extreme Gamer sound blaster card I have tried tons of players for Ubuntu. “Kaffeine” wont play this at all, Totem lags and freezes “VLC” fucks up constantly. “Gnome Mplayer” wont show subtitles, normal “Mplayer” has no audio and pops up with tons of errors when I enable audio.
I have been using totem as it is not as crap as the other players, however i have not tried any xvid format K-ON episodes because of the crap quality but I figured it would not make a difference as the xvid episodes are still using the intro and outro files. Help please :<
June 20th, 2009 at 6:21 am
Well I managed to get it working on Mplayer so i’m all good now
