What now?

So, I didn't quite get the attention I was looking for on my BETA release. But I am going to continue nonetheless. I've worked out some stuff since I released the BETA release:

- I'll be doing CRF19. It has quite good quality and the file sizes aren't huge = 500-600mb. The final batch will be around 9-11GB. Don't complain about the file sizes.
- I'll be encoding in anamorphic. I get the expression that it's the correct method for encoding this show. Anyway, resolution~wise.
- I'll still be releasing episodes when they're done, but labelling them BETA since they aren't the final version. I hope to attract some interested souls. No one has contacted me yet with reasonable experience.

I thought about doing ordered chapters, and I hope to get the hang of it eventually. Don't expect the next ones to be like that though for now.

For now I am trying to get all the episodes encoded so that's over. I feel I'll be able to manage it much easier if I get that done.

At the moment I am extremely busy with school and other stuff so episode 2 might be longer away. And still have stuff at BakaBT I need to finish before I can focus completely on this. Also, to make things worse. I learned how to time properly so I'll need to re-time episode 1. Yay.

Oh, and it looks like I'll be putting karaoke in after all, for a moment I thought I'd have to remove it. Making karaoke is pretty fun stuff.^^

Takeshi out.

Episode 01 - The Small Hero! The Birth of Gin! (BETA)

 OH, NO, I KNOW YOU DIDN'T JUST TRY AND TAKE ONE OF MA' KIDS!

So here we go.

This episode is supposed to give people an idea of how I want to do Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, and also to get the word out that I am indeed doing it. Let's face it, I can't do this project all by myself as too much work is needed.

I've been trying to release this anime ever since I got my hands on the Scandinavian boxset. The source was progressive so no complicated de-interlacing needed there, but the rest was pretty fucked up. Like weird shit appearing after the opening, and one episode suddenly needing de-interlacing after all. Plus, the ending magically disappears in the later eps.

Then I got my hands on the reprint from 2008 which is so much better. Also, it contains previews so I'll need to find someone to translate those 15 seconds for me in each episode.

Video: 656x480 (4:3), 23,976 fps, H264, 2600 kBit/s (CRF19)
Audio: 2.0, AC3, 384 kBit/s
Subtitles: English ASS (read "Details" to find out more about them)

Karaoke: Simple, just softsubs. Translation is from Gendou. Not sure how accurate they are though.

Expect some iffiness, this is labelled (BETA) for a reason, but I still think most of you will enjoy it.

Feel free to point out mistakes I may not have caught yet. Also, feel free to ask any questions you have concerning this project though please make sure you've read the FAQ first.
