Yay more chinese alchoholic lolicon FTW!

Thanks for the upload!

neeeed SD! D:

Awesome!!

yay

For those asking for AVI’s, why not just get VLC Media Player and watch it in MKV?

I actually dont think the diff in file size = the quality difference!

Thats why ;)

@TehJawknee most people who ask for avi either have an issue with slowness, either in their computer or in there downloading capacity.

I prefer avi because I use a htpc(xbox 1 that i recently bought for $25) which plays the xvid avi files pleasantly well on my tv and while my laptop has the capacity to play mkv files it struggles a lot less with the xvid.

This is not to deter the practical argument that a newer computer or computer based home theater equipment should be purchased, but if we wanted to spend money then there would be a lot less people here :-)

XviD where?

The world has moved on from xvid to mkv.

thanks guys

avi please

Praise the lord.

This and Biri-Biri are the highlights of my day. Thanks!

killa78: “The quality the codec can achieve is heavily based on the compression format the codec uses” Therefore, in the instance of an divx and .h264 of the same file-size, the .h264 could have much better video quality, as it’s a more powerful codec. (Read: not from the stone ages of Win 95)

It’s already indisputable that mkv reigns supreme as far as video containers is concerned. Which other containers support multiple video, sub-picture and, audio streams? (I’m too lazy to find out if there actually is another besides mkv, honestly)

Now it just comes down to the capable (or incapable) hands of the encoders for these videos.

fuck yeahhhhhhhhh bitch

whos the bitch? u motherfuck u as in the person whos reading this shit *lol* jk i love this site

hummm for some reason when i said i love this site it kinda made me sound like a noob hehehhe

the thing is mkv. file is to large

wow, I downloaded it today. The reso was very good, I love reso 720 and .MKV format

Thank you Bullet Speed Subs :)

//It’s already indisputable that mkv reigns supreme as far as video containers is concerned. Which other containers support multiple video, sub-picture and, audio streams? (I’m too lazy to find out if there actually is another besides mkv, honestly)//

Actually mkv is only used by fansubbers so it doesnt reign supreme at all. The one container that most companies support is the Mp4 container format. (Ps3, Psp, PC, Blu-ray players, Xbox360(?), home media centers, IPhone and IPOD, maybe some advanced other cellphones as well etc)

Mkv is opensource container which makes it very poor container outside of computers as there are only few machines.

Xvid/avi however completely anhilate mkv when it comes to portability, support, hardware support. While mkv and mp4 both offer really good compress methods to make smaller files and still have better quality the uncompressing or running these files require a lot more more processing or gpu power making them really bad choice for people who prefer usability and compatibility over small loss in quality of image.

200mb mkv file might play poorly on older computer while the older computer can play avi of over 400mb without any difficulty.

I personally prefer mp4 and avi over mkv just because my older computer is attached to my tv as is my Ps3. both can play Avi really well, and Ps3 can offer image quality as good as mkv trough but needs hard subbed mp4 files.

I am very great full of people who re-encode these series to xvid format. Thanks and keep up the good work!

only few machines able to play these files.**

I find the lack of edit button disturbing.

@animetakefan1: I understand the “lag” or “slowness” factor because I get that with mp4’s when I play them on Windows Media Player. I also understand the part about playing them on your XBox and other components since I upload mine to a modified PS2.

What I’m getting at is that VLC media player plays these files at a really good resolution and I don’t get the slowdown that I have with WMP.

For those who must ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY MUST HAVE avi, I suggest AlltoAVI since it converts mkv files rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you.

Sure, not the solution people want, but with the growing resolution files coming out, avi and mkv are not that far apart space wise.

And I must agree with obsolete, mkv is reigning supreme in anime containers because of it’s support of multiple audio, video and subtitle options. I can’t think of a better container at the moment.

Alright Viper7, I’ll admit that mp4 is a more popular file type, this is why I suggested AlltoAVI. I think if you really want it, you’ll re-encode it and then drop the mkv. I’ve done so with files I want to play on my PS2.

Yeah we are all aware that we can convert them to avi but that doesn’t help those on here that download avi. files because of smaller file sizes :P If i could increase my download limit per month i would but seeing as i can’t i’ll just have to wait for an avi file or atleast a smaller mkv like many other people on here XP

I still think mkv is the superior container, although it’s not widely supported by video game consoles or mobile phones. What it comes down to in most cases seems to be personal preference.

Mkv probably has more options and can handle more types of formats. But that is also a disadvantage. The more complex the format the less likely its to get any support.

Mp4 supports only limited types of data, but it makes it easier to support as the machine doesnt need to be updated and probably needs less powerful codecs.

So basicly Mp4 is superior container, not because of its features but because of its compatibility wich greatly outweights any improvements mkv has. Not to mention it can contain HD video and audio and subtitles everything else is just useless extra in my eyes.

I am not saying that fansubbers should drop mkv completely, but it would be nice to get both hardsubbed HD mp4 and mkv.

@Knight_zero

size has nothing to do with the format. Mkv or Mp4 can contain better image quality while still being smaller in size. But they are often HD so I would just recommend you to download SD files if your downloads are limited.

No, MKV is a superior container, full stop. Your incompatible devices are shit. By the way, I suggest you lurk/google a bit more. Hints: MPEG 4 ASP, MPEG 4 AVC, Container vs Codec, MKV vs MP4 vs AVI, etc. Do note that you could easily hardsub it yourself.

Found Avi encode here, rather small file so dunno about the quality.

//No, MKV is a superior container, full stop. Your incompatible devices are shit. By the way, I suggest you lurk/google a bit more. Hints: MPEG 4 ASP, MPEG 4 AVC, Container vs Codec, MKV vs MP4 vs AVI, etc. Do note that you could easily hardsub it yourself.//

So every other device in the world is shit except PC? YOu expect me to take you seriously? Haha nice try also for those Mkv vs mp4 threads they ignore completely how incompatible mkv as a format is and focus on comparing the containers and their features instead.

Until Mkv gets more support its just a format used by pirates and fansubbers. I don’t need to prove this now do I?

Although you are true about the fact that my computer is shit. It takes around 13hours to hard sub a decent mp4 HD file and the computer might explode in the process.

Protip: If it can’t keep up with technology, it’s shit.

As I said before, MKV is not at fault for any incompatibility, whatever shitty device you may be using is.

You are correct, (film) piracy and fansubs are far ahead of their respective industries, and as such, provide higher quality/better user experience than a purchased product.

You’d have to be using a pentium II(or maybe worse) for it to go that slow(unless you’re using a retarded encoder/settings).

Again, and I really suggest you take my advice this time, so as not to flaunt your ignorance any longer, I believe it would be in your best interests to lurk/google a bit more.

Mp4 and Mkv can both handle 720p and 1080p video, with quality close to the original blu-ray release. Both use H264 and can have subtitles hardcoded or softsubs.

For most people these are all that are needed. So Mkv is just a competitor (with few extra features that matter not for normal consumer/downloader) which may or may not get better support in future.

Its not that the devices cant keep up with technology, they just don’t support the formats which are not needed.

Ofcourse I would be very happy to see Ps3, x360 and many other devices to get firmware updates to support mkv because it would save me a lot trouble but as its only used in piracy it seems more likely that the industries will come up with yet even more supreme official codec or container with all new standards instead of supporting mkv.

Please clear up your misunderstandings of codecs, containers, and resolutions. Might I suggest a bit of lurking/googling? Also, mp4 only supports its own propriety (but more importantly shitty) .ttxt subs, unlike MKV which supports srt,ssa,txt,ttxt, and probably a number more I’m forgetting. ass being the only one that supports any kind of advanced typesetting(what’s used in almost all fansubs to give you not shitty subtitles).

Aside from the lack of filesize and CPU overhead of MP4, MKV also offers features such as ordered chapters which can greatly reduce the total filesize of a series. for the who-knows-how-many-eth time, for your own good, learn to use google. DivX, a partner of PS3 and many other standalone players, began supporting and shipping shipping devices with MKV support months ago. Even before that, there were players such as the Popcorn Hour which supported MKV playback. PS3 has yet to release a firmware update, most likely due to the widespread usage of MKV in piracy. It is unfortunate that they believe denying their customers features is a good way to solve the problem that they can’t even keep up with technology from groups that don’t have billions of dollars at their disposal.

There are many people, such as myself, who would love to see MKV support implemented. Several hand-held devices already support it, and adding support to, say, the PS3 would be trivial. If you won’t adapt to new technology, then you’re simply holding advancement back.

It would take millions of dollars to create a new codec as/more effecient as h.264, and seeing as nvidia/sony(bluray) have already committed and invested in plans for it over the next ~10 years, I doubt you’ll see a new codec from them. A new container would obviously be retarded, seeing as it would undoubtedly be inferior to an open source alternative available at the time. If that does happen, and it isn’t worse, I will gladly eat my hat. Of course, it will quickly become worthless in a few months after the open source alternative catches up and surpasses it, but it would be great until then.

Thank you, and good night.

Ordered chapters and support for more subtitle formats are nice small extras but still not enough to justify the lack of official support for the format.

But I sure hope you speak the truth about mkv gaining more hardware support. The more these standalone players etc support files the better.

Although I would be perfectly happy if they would just add better support for external subtitles and soft subs. Would save a lot bandwidth if every1 could just download the raws and add the subtitles they prefer.

props Booyadude. You know what you’re talking about. To be fair though, you can play an mkv on the ps3 with linux installed. I’m not too sure how well that works, I’ve heard it has trouble with 720p, but it’s doable even now.

Linux on Ps3 allows quite nice things, but there are problems like unaccessible hardware. You can’t really use the hardware efficiently as there are no official drivers for them, this limits the use of ram and gpu and possibly processing power.

And yes Booyadude has some valid points, and I admit that I didnt know about this Divx deal which make the future look a lot brigther. However prefering other types of formats is not holding advancement back, its just preference.

People and the industries will decide when mkv will become the mainstream media format of choice. Forcing it down on peoples throats wont do any good, there are still people buying dvd’s while the better and more shinier blu-ray is available and most of the world is still using analog tv broadcasts and the popularity of HD broadcasts is still rather small.

Mp4 is at the moment the HD media format that is more widely supported and because of this it can be still considered as the format of choise. However when Mkv gains the popularity and support it will be recognized as the better co-existing alternative for mp4.

But the ideal form of technological advancement is to support all the possible platforms and formats while slowly killing the support on the formats that people stop to use. There’s great demand for xvid, mp4 and mkv which all have their pro’s and cons.

IF industry would suddenly stop relasign dvd’s because they are “holding the technology back” while there’s still great demand for these it would only cause them to loose money and customers. Both required for “technological advance”.

Welcome to the real world

Indeed, Sony has locked away functionality of some hardware under Linux. They advertised it as a selling point but denied their customers a great deal of usefulness.

Choosing apples over oranges is a preference. Chossing an inferior technological implementation over a superior one, is holding advancement back.

The corresponding paragraph is some failed attempt at making an analogy. If you don’t understand, try to think about it a bit more, and maybe your next argument won’t be filled with fallacies.

Okay, I give up. I tried to get you to at least learn A LITTLE about what you were talking about, but you refused. There is no such thing as an “HD media format.” The container does not limit the resolution in any way. You can have 1080p AVI files. MKV would be an alternative to MP4 if it didn’t have dozens of enhancements and a cleaner codebase in general, as of right now, it is simply a step forward that people like yourself kick and scream about taking, as with any other technological advancement that isn’t exactly what you are used to.

*sigh* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_format_%28digital%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec
Some people still want RMVB “because it’s smaller.” Ignorance really hinders your ability to argue on a subject.

Including the above explanation of this being a fallacy that isn’t worth acknowledging, I’ll even give you a hint: Money.

[Insert clever one-liner here that makes it look like I "pwned" you.]

//Welcome to the real world//

Wasn’t ment to be a one liner to look like I “pwned” you. It was ment to wake you up from the imaginary year 2011 your living.

Like I have said from the beginning, Mp4 is still the more supported format and it plays even on older stand alone media devices.
(which many cannot be updated by firmware, or the firmware updates are restricted by hardware)

The problem with people like you who claim that we who prefer Xvid or Mp4 are slowing down technological is that you expect people to actualy replace their brand new Blu-ray players or any other standalone media device just to get Karaoke Subtitles and ordered chapters. Are you insane?

Of course its nice that Mkv supports such a wide array of subtitle, video and music formats, but not many devices (even from the recent ones) have been build around to handle codecs that can play virtually every video, audio or subtitle format on the planet that is stuffed to this container you love so much.

I understand that Mkv has pretty good chance to become like Xvid is right now with the recent Divx7 deal(or what ever it is), but that will still take few years (or more) for that to happen.

Mkv file is like Linux distributions(also opensource no?), from the OS standpoint it could be considered as the best operating system in the world because of hunreds of features that windows users cant even start to imagine, Why? because there’s no support from industry for the OS and most normal people are happy enough with their buggy unstable operating system.

*slowing down technological advancement
* still many people don’t use it why?

The lack of edit button disturbs me. Since I am used to post first and correct the typos/etc after : |

Welp, this got boring fast.

Cool story, bro.

That’s awesome, has nothing to do with the container itself though.

Try reading my other comments again.

Okay, now the repeating yourself is getting repetitive.

Didn’t I say there have been Bluray players out for months? There’ve been handhelds and standalones out for years.

“So basicly Mp4 is superior container[...]”
“No, MKV is a superior container, full stop.”
“[...]it could be considered as the best[...]”

Thank you for ending this yourself, as your repetitive arguments that have nothing to do with the containers themselves got boring long ago. One last time, I’ll suggest you learn a bit more on the subject, so that the next person you argue with(I’m sure you’ll find someone) on this isn’t as baffled as me, at why you’re making pitiful attempts to argue about things you have little knowledge of.

I’ll have a melon soda please.

You forgot this important part from the quotation.

//So basicly Mp4 is superior container, >>not because of its features but because of its compatibility wich greatly outweights any improvements mkv has.< Months

//There’ve been handhelds and standalones out for years.//

So how many are we talking about here 3? 10? Popcorn hour?

You do know that there are quite plenty of Psp’s, Ipods, Iphones, Ps3, X360, Blu-ray players that have been out for years, and sold milions of units. You saying that the machines that are supporting mkv are even marginaly close to that ammount?

hasn’t mkv been improved and edited a lot withing these years? can mp4 which as a industry standard and is already supported in many devices go trough such changes without sacrificing compatibility with older devices? Don’t tell me file restrictions are only disadvantages as they do have their own advantages as well.

Hi, container =/= hardware. I don’t know how to make it any simpler for you.

If format/container can only be played in certain hardware does it

//provide higher quality/better user experience than a purchased product.//?

I don’t know about you, but the fact that I can play the media with the hardware I want is quite high on my list of “better user experience”.

Since you didn’t seem to understand it the first time: Hi, container =/= hardware. I don’t know how to make it any simpler for you.

I can play an MKV on my computer, my portable, my bluray player, and my standalone. I can play a bluray on my bluray player.

WTF is with this chat log lol.
by the way im picking this season up, which is the better fansub?

plus on another note, booyadude mkv plays on bluray players??? thats weird i know mkv awesome but there just containers with mongrel(uber mix) codec’s etc.im quite surprise that mkv plays on blurays.
can you tell me how you did this
-__-
plus i do own a ps3 and i just hard sub the anime (ps3 r gay and u need MP4), it only takes 3 hours per episode if you require the HD’ness(lol thats not a word).
i always do

//I can play an MKV on my computer, my portable, my bluray player, and my standalone. I can play a bluray on my bluray player.//

You can, oh how nice how about the rest of the world? Oh yes **** the rest of the world. They should have been supporting mkv and buying the latest possible media devices that support the tech.

Lets get this straight, .mp4 file can be played on any system that supports .mkv, plus it can be played on many more systems that do not play .mkv. More people can access the content on the device appropriate for them -> Better user experience and wider audience.

I do understand that fansubbers are mainly focusing on their pc audience which makes mkv probably the easiest/best choice for them.
And since they don’t get money from what they do they have no need to use format that offers quality to the people outside their limited target audience.

Alright, I give up. You refuse to understand a few words, no matter how many times I repeat them for you.

Shit, you learn something every day.

ermmm… so… no avi?

Please? I can’t help that I’m too broke to upgrade my computer/vidcard to avoid mkv lag :P

just upgrade your cpu to a dual core,you can get them from like 50-60 quid if you look hard enough
