  1. About to drop five whole Canadian dollarinos on a rental of what may be the real 1080p WEBDL of The Iron Giant - Signature Edition. Got TunesKit installed, and the length checks out at 1:30:01. Wish me luck!

      To keep the subs, download CCExtractor, change input to MP4, drag the .m4v file into it and start the process. It will spit out a .srt file and then all you have to do is mux that along with the video file into a .mkv container.

    3. PDoggy77

      Oh, alright. I'll try and get the subs. I tried to watch with subs in iTunes, on the original rental, and I couldn't even get it to show up there, never mind work in TunesKit or MKVMerge or anything. I might go and re download it in 720p and or something, IDK. I have the movie and the 5.1 audio, which are the main necessities. No promises, but I'll try.

      Just checked - they only had French and German subs to begin with. Plus I rented instead of buying it (at a 3rd of the price!) and I already deleted the original file, and apparently you can't re download rentals? Idk, whatever, I got the main event so it's all good. Expect it up on here via MEGA some time next week maybe? Generally soon.

  2. 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!

  3. 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. 

  4. 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.

      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.

  5. One of my dogs passed away today. He was only 6 years old. Happened completely out of the blue. Might be in hiatus for now. Just need some time.

      Thanks guys. I was thinking maybe heartworm could have done it since we missed a month but that stuff takes about 7 months to mature anyways.

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      In the last couple years he started getting scared of thunderstorms and walking on tile and his temperment got kind of strange, so I'm thinking that it was a heart attack or a brain aneurysm.

    4. Meowth

      Meowth

      So sorry for your loss. My dalmatian passed away when I was 12 so I can relate to your pain.

  6. 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.

  7. Can someone upload just the subs from deanzel's release of Ping Pong for me please?

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

  8. 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

  9. So, how do I watch Evangelion? So far, I plan on watching 1-20, 21-24', 25-26, EoE, D&R. Is this the right order?

      I'll have to remember that when I download it. or @Baal could you add it to your post?

      After that watch the rebuild. It moves in a different direction starting with the 2nd part.

  10. So, If I want to burn some DVD9 ISOs I have to play in any old DVD player, does it matter whether I use DVD + or - R? Or are they only different in burning methods, and the same for playback?

    2. Koby

      Koby

      I usually find a 100 pack of DVD-R for about $15 USD. While stores like Walmart and Best Buy sell the same pack for about $55. -_-

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Where? I usually only buy name brand stuff since I don't keep ISOs after burning.

    4. Koby

      Koby

      Usually Office Depot. As for brand, it differs: Philips, Memorex, Verbatim, etc... Just whatever they have cheap at the time. I use to use dvds for backing up things, but decided it was just as cheap and easier to swap out for better releases using lots of hard drives.

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

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

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      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!

  17. Huh. Turns out M*A*S*H airs on History Canada in HD. Season 1 finishes syndication today. Might start PVRing the episodes to cap them once I get a good card.

    1. DawnShadow.

      DawnShadow.

      Please tell me you don't mean cropped 16:9 :(

    2. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Nope. It's in the original 4:3 frame. I haven't been the DVDs so I don't know if the DVDs are just really good or the HD feed is a proper good upscale/re scan. I'll see if I can get an example to compare it with.

    3. DawnShadow.

      DawnShadow.

      Oh, that's pretty cool then :D

  18. Hey. Accidentally double posted my Clone High topic in Cartoons/Animation. Can you delete one of the two for me please? (or implement the ability to delete content pls)

      In the content distro section, to be specific.

      Awesome. Thanks mang.

  19. 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.

  20. So, considering that the blurays for Gangsta probably won't get finished, anyone interested in dual audio copies from WEB/HDTV sources? I might be game if there's interest.

    1. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      I'm thinking 720p raws for video and Japanese audio, Funi web for English audio and sign subs, and HorribleSubs to OCR and style/edit new soft subs in.

    2. Koby

      Koby

      No need. Moodkiller is already doing Gangsta., and despite the JPBD likely not being finished, at some point FUNimation can and will release their own USBD for it to be completed. Until then, Moodkiller will likely finish off his release using the best options available for video and subs; so unless you just want to work on it, you could just let Moodkiller do his thing and put your time and effort into something else! ;)

    3. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Oh, OK. Didn't think Moodkiller was gonna finish his. Alright then, nm! Thanks Koby!

       

  21. For anyone interested, the rest of my Samurai Jack Season 1 encodes are going up now. They'll be linked here soon.

    1. Gstack

      Gstack

      Yes, what are you using to encode them?

    2. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Using Handbrake, with my own customized preset/settings. Came out better than any of the other options I had/tried, so I just stuck with it.

  22. Anyone know where I can find ISOs of the blue brick DVDs of Dragon Ball? Might need the audio for a maybe project ;)

    1. Arian

      Arian

      Message Clutchins. He has them.

    2. Koby

      Koby

      I got em. A few years ago they were $8 a set brand new for Black Friday. Couldn't pass up the entire series of 153 episodes for $40.

  23. 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.

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

    1. bhy1117

      bhy1117

      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!

  25. Goof Troop, Samurai Jack, Azumanga Daioh and One Piece 4Kids all coming soon.

    1. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      I was thinking of doing FMA '03 and Ducktales but because FMA has a BD and Ducktales requires some stuff I can't do, I'm not sure I'll bother with either of them.
