  1. Uh, for anyone caught up on Pokemon, do I need to watch XY to watch XY&Z? I heard the Kalos League fights are really good, so I wanted to binge watch XY&Z to see what all the hype was about.

      Actually, I skipped most of XY and Z and got right into the final League arc and I'm not really lost tbh. Truth be told, the latest Z episodes have a really epic vibe imo.

      I might do that then, I'm watching a bunch of shows right now anyways. Perhaps if I have time, I'll go through XYZ, if not I'll just skip to the league. Thanks!

  2. Alright, first uploads in a while. All of Samurai Jack Season 2 is now up, as well as the rest of Futz!. Enjoy guys!

  3. So I finally finished working on Season 4 of Ducktales. Sync is perfect. Remember, I used AC3 TVRips for my copies (better than the arsena-loyal files that you can find everywhere, probably not as good as the US iTunes). Depending on how the US iTunes sounds, I may or may not do Season 3 as well. The iTunes release could be missing music etc., so the TVRip audio might come in handy.

      Thanks @Smileyyakadoo, I'll see if I can make use of them.

      np, 1st eps only taped 5mins before error so, no point on uploading that one.

  4. Guys, Disney just added Ducktales, Talespin and Chip and Dale to American iTunes - including the episodes left off of the DVDs.

      I see. Well, for Season 1-2, PAL DVDs are best. For the 6 episodes from Season 1-2 not available on the PAL DVDs, NTSC DVDs are best. For Season 3-4, NTSC iTunes is best, even though video is probably the same as or similar to the PAL iTunes source, the audio will be better. Digital WEB-DL audio beats recorded TVrip audio any day.

    3. Smileyyakadoo

      Smileyyakadoo

      True that.

      Netflix didn't have them all anyway.

       

      They only have 22 episodes available. and probably weird ordering too.

      In case anyone is reading this - it turns out the iTunes audio pales in comparison to the TVRip source I have, so my releases will be continuing. Season 4 is on it's way up right now!

  5. In case anyone's been wondering where I've been, it's a combo of a new job and the stress of school exams. Will be back up and running soon.

  6. Holy crap, the Ghost Stories dub looks like one of the funniest dubs out there. Gonna hafta make time for that one soon.

      If you are easily offended, you may find this hard to watch. If you're not...HAVE FUN! The cast is top-notch and the pop culture shots are brilliant. 

    2. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Nah, it's pretty hard to offend me. I'm sure I will have fun watching, especially thanks to your recommendations. Thanks!

  7. Anime Bytes is on sitewide FL for about 4 hours and 15 minutes from the time of this post.

      Almost everything is always FL as is, so AB FL time is a joke really. I've barely touched my ratio because 95% of stuff I've downloaded there was FL always.

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      1080p and ISOs are almost always if not always free leech anyways, but I took advantage of it to grab some 720p and 480p only shows.

      I wish less stuff was FL personally so I could actually gain some download cred to obtain the achievements and increase my account percentile rankings. 5d56acbfcf.png

      Sure @Imagine Breaker, thanks a ton. Almost at my cap sadly, can't spare the bandwidth - I don't wanna risk hitting the cap and being SOL for basic email n stuff later in the month.

      Here you go:

      https://mega.nz/#!vpBS2ILC!96VdGkDg-EVwfzXHi78Ziw2todXPrLkw5U5P-FsQO5g

      Just notify me when you download it and/or if you have any issues so I may remove it from my account.

    4. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Thanks a ton man. I'll let you know once it's all good.

  9. For anyone interested in dual audio 720p WEBRips of One PIece, cloaknsmoke seems to be going back and redoing his batches in HD, starting with season 7. For those curious about the 10 SD episodes in that season, he used the special edition upscale for consistency.

      PDoggy77

      Well, I imagine he will - this is prolly what he'll be doing to pass the time in between new Funimation voyages. It isn't a lot of work either, all he's doing is muxing HorribleSubs video to his DVDRips, minus the commentary. Looks like they're converting his SRT subs to ASS subs as well, but I doubt they're styled or anything. Either way, with all of this stuff accounted for, it shouldn't take them much time at all to surpass Choey's releases.

  10. Holy crap - FLCL is getting 2 more 6 episode seasons from Toonami and Production I.G. It's been confirmed that both seasons will be direct continuations too.

    1. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Apparently it's just one 12 episode season after all. ANN misreporting as usual smh.

  11. I'm hearing about issues with registration from people trying to sign up. Apparently the sign up email is coming up blank. Idk, I couldn't register until I tried using Twitter myself. Anyhow, figured I would let you know.

      Yeah, I don't know what the issue was. I just told the guy to make a burner Twitter account and try to sign up that way.

    3. Koby

      Koby

      Did they never receive the email, or they got it but it had no content in it? O.o

    4. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      That's what they said. They were able to get in with Twitter though, so it shouldn't be an issue for now.

  12. For anyone interested in my encodes, I'm currently working on Ducktales, Pokemon Origins, Samurai Jack and the Johnny Bravo holiday specials. I might work on Azumanga Daioh, One Piece, Goof Troop and/or Peanuts, but due to the various issues with those projects they're on hold and I won't guarantee I'll be able to do them. Thanks.

      And as for the Dragon Ball project, it doesn't look like we were actually going to be able to get all the sources anyways. Not necessarily dropped, but I'm doubtful it'll happen at this rate.

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      I'll still work on those first 4 because I've gotten a good bit into them all. All the others were missing sources or needed to be redone.

    4. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      And I meant One Piece as in One Piece 4kids. Not interested in the Funimation dub or any subbed releases.

  14. Oh, and of course Nyaa is back down again, after about a half hour of up time. Jfc, they need to figure their shit out already. It's been like this for over a week now, no?

    1. DeathTheKid

      DeathTheKid

      2 weeks. It's not nyaa themselves but some no life who's DDoSing them.

    2. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Oh, great. Didn't this happen last year too, some basement dweller buying up a bot net and DDoSing all the anime sites for a few weeks? Probably the same one.

    3. Chiyo

      Chiyo

      Probably has something to do with the shit skiddiks did.

  15. OK, second time around - I've found a complete collection of all the episodes of Kirby - Right Back at Ya!. All logoless until episode 51, after which the episodes are rather noisy TVRips. Most of them are stretched out though, so I plan to try to fix them at some point.

      Are they Xvid or H.264?

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      H.264 - sadly, they're all YouTube rips, as it turns out. Nonetheless, still the best there is. Pretty sure there just aren't any torrents for this particular dub.

    4. Bonkfast

      Bonkfast

      I think most of them were actually from 4Kids' old streaming side. They stopped around the 50s, and I remember seeing them on some other sites before the Kirby Channel was created. (Said channel showed all 100.)

       

      I just wish I could find 96-99 in their complete, non-movie formats but I can only find episode 100 (and it has a logo on it). utsosuki (sp?) from [C-W] did 96-99 (going by Japanese numbering) awhile ago, but those torrents are now dead.

  16. Anyone have any knowledge when it comes to fixing frame blended 29.97 content? Trying to get a 1080p copy of an otherwise 720p only show out there, but the only 1080p source suffers from frame blending and aliasing issues.

  17. Any Brazilian speaking users here? Found raw files for Irmao do Jorel that need subbing. Someone's already subbed two of the episodes, but if someone could help me create a definitive and consistent set for the whole series, our files would, of course, be the superior set.

  18. Anyone interested in Sym-Bionic Titan? I've found 720p HDTV copies of episode 11 and 12, both of which weren't covered by the scene release groups that did the rest of the show.

      I guess we'll have to deal with the 720 copies from the TV with a logo. Or we can eventually get these DVDs from Australia in April.

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      True. I'll see about grabbing these HDTV rips, they're on my seedbox as of now. I'm seeding for another day or so, so if you want them now would be a good time to get them.

    4. TheOneWhoSees

      TheOneWhoSees

      Is this still available?

  19. So, if anyone here was working with DD-2.0 mono 448kbps audio, would y'all keep both duplicate channels or down sample to 1 channel?

  20. Wow, with the right configs, HEVC can work wonders. I've been able to produce a lossless encode of The Boondocks at 150MB, without encoding audio, just optimizing video. Shit's crazy. I've been working at CRF19 though, so I might up it to CRF18 and see where that takes me. Here are some screens I took of a CRF19 sample I made a while ago, so not quite the quality I'm playing with now. Screens - screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/160092/

      Yeah, finding artifacts and stuff is not easy if you don't know what you should look for!

      Take if from me and Stay that way!! The world is a better place when you can enjoy watching garbage the same way you enjoy the real thing!!:too_sad::amazed:

       

    4. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Yeah, I understand that it looks bad, but what I was trying to get across is that it's still very close, I would say near indistinguishable but that might just be me, to the source. The encode looks bad, but again that's because the best source is the season set DVDs, and all of those DVDs were 360p upscales to begin with, so it would never look good. Encodes can still look close, which is what I was trying to demonstrate.

  21. Wow, MeGUI is great. Perfect balance between the customization of command line encoders and the ease of GUI encoders :)

  22. Annd someone's beaten me to releasing a dual audio copy of Pokemon Origins. He used crappy subs though, and the release seems bloated IMO, looks like he used ABR, which I wouldn't bother using on an HD encode. So I'll continue working on my release :)

      Where does it say he used CRF18?

    3. Koby
    4. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Ah, I see. I figured he used CRF because he listed the encode bitrates at ~7700kbps, just figured he used that as an ABR. Looks like a nice encode to me! Either way, I still plan on working on mine since I've worked on dub subs already. I might use a lower CRF too, I haven't actually encoded anything yet, just been working on getting the audio and subs all fixed up. 

  23. TIL - Syncing audio is a complete PITA. Props to everyone who's synced up stuff by hand before - just now feeling it's extent of totally sucking.

  24. So I'm working on Pokemon Origins again. Any how, there are 3 options for the English dub.

    1) - AC3-2.0 192kbps ADC DVD

    2) - AAC-2.0 192kbps CodeDonut WEB

    3) - AAC-2.0 160kbps Pikanet8 WEBDL

    I'll need to encode the end song from the JP audio and splice that in, as none of the dub sources have the end song included, they just cut off at the end of the episode. Any ideas/suggestions?

    1. Koby

      Koby

      What source is that CodeDonut release? Typically at same bitrates if encoded ideally; AAC would be better since it compresses better than AC3. However depending on actual source and the encode method it's not necessarily going to be the outcome. So I'd probably just go with the DVD audio option and as always don't encode lossy audio. Since you're splicing in audio, in the end I'd say the codec of the JP audio would sway the decision. You'd be better off appending rather than encoding. Encoding lossy audio always creates further loss. So if the JP audio is AAC; go with the AAC option and append the audio together with no encoding required.

    2. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      I'm encoding the Japanese BD, so the Japanese audio is ~1500kbps PCM (or good enough to encode and use as a source for the ED song). I'm planning on encoding that in FLAC, but if I end up needing to drop the file size I may go with AAC instead. I think I'll encode the Japanese audio to the same specs as the DVD and splicing the ED song in, since the DVD is the highest quality dub audio there is considering it's the only English retail release out there. Apart from that, there's just those sketchy WEB sources.

  25. Yo. Is anyone able to hook me up with an ADC invite? I can provide 50:1 seed proofs from MySpleen. I just applied a couple weeks ago, but they aren't taking applications rn. I understand if no one can, but access to the site would be great for a few of my projects. Thanks.
