ReDone's Final Update

720x480 4:3, H264 CRF 15

FLAC audio for TV episodes & OVA 00
AC3 audio for OVAs 1-4

These episodes make use of chapter/segment linking. To view the NCOp/Eds in all episodes, you MUST have file linking enabled in Haali media splitter (I do not know if any other splitter will play these files properly).

To enable file linking in Haali Media Splitter, double click the Haali tray icon, then hit the options tab. Expand the Input drop-down. Set "Try to open linked files" to yes.

All TV episodes have three chapter editions. The first edition is the standard credited version. The other two have no credits. NCED is the ending for episodes 1-11. NCED-ALT is the ending for episode 12, it has some more interesting content at the beginning. Otherwise it is the same.

All single torrents will be removed. Please continue them from the batch torrent. Please help seed if you have all/some of the episodes!

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3

2010-06-06T00:06:00.000-04:00

Yes, Believe It (or not), a release of Naruto without hardsubs; poorly resized, incorrect aspect-ratio video; and downmuxed stereo mp3 sound at low bitrate!

Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3 - Hi no Ishi o Tsugu Mono - Inheritors of the Will of Fire

Dattebayo script, restyled with softsubbed karaoke.
Salendar-Raws Video/Audio.

I included 2 sets of subtitles, one which uses "Konoha" as most people are used to, and one which uses "Leaf" which is what DB used in the original script.

This is my first time k-timing, I think it came out fine.

This is the best raw I could find (I checked pretty much all of them). There were also no non-shrunk ISO's uploaded anywhere.

I really didn't know it was so hard to rip a movie at 720x464 =.=. Not one group ripped this movie correctly.

Salendar ripped at 848x464, so I just simply set the AR flag to 1.85.
OWA raws ripped at 720x480, leaving the 16 vertical pixels of black. The thing is it looks like they ripped from the shrunk 4.4 Gig iso by Zero-Raws posted on TT because it has more artifacting than Salendar's version.

If someone can post a non-shrunk ISO or find a better raw, please let me know!

Strawberry 100% OVA 00 Jump Festival 2004

2010-06-05T00:07:00.000-04:00

Here's the first of the five OVA's. This one is still counted as a Strawberry 100% TV release.

There is a No Credit OP Version included as an alternate chapter edition.

Zalis will probably do a better write up later on the ReDone Subs blog.

Strawberry (Ichigo) 100% OVA 00 Jump Festival 2004

All future OVA's will be AC3 as they do not use PCM for the audio.

I apologize to whoever created the below script, I forget where I found it!

BTW, for those of you who want sharp subtitles while still maintaining the correct aspect ratio on the subtitles, try the below AviSynth script in ffdshow (you'll need avisynth installed, replace mon_width and mon_height with the dimensions of your monitor).


mon_width = 1920.
mon_height = 1080.
##############
tar_width = mon_width
tar_height = 1.0*mon_width/width*height
(tar_height > mon_height) ? Eval("""
    tar_height = mon_height
    tar_width = 1.0*mon_height/height*width
""") : last
lanczosresize(int(tar_width)/2*2, int(tar_height)/2*2)

Make sure to configure the ffdshow avisynth settings as shown in the picture:

Strawberry (Ichigo) 100% 07

Some people seem a little confused on the audio, so I wanted to clarify that the audio on the DVD is 16 bit 48 Khz stereo uncompressed PCM (believe it or not, AC3 is NOT the only codec which can be used on DVD's). Using FLAC is in no way stupid from a technical standpoint (although you may not care enough about the audio to personally want it).

Strawberry 100% - 01-02 & NCOP+ED [ReDone-MDC][DVD][H264 FLAC]

Yes, that's right, Strawberry (Ichigo) 100% DVD encodes. 720x480, 4:3, FLAC.

I have already discussed this with Zalis from ReDone Subs; and I will be re-releasing the entire TV series with encodes from the ISO's, with increased video and audio quality. We will also be doing a joint on the OVAs (I will do encodes and chapters, Zalis will do everything else).

Additionally the NCOP, NCED, and NCED alternate (from ep 12) are available as ordered chapters (right click haali splitter and choose one of the "No Credit" Editions). The credited OP/ED (default chapters) are not ordered, so they will play fine in VLC, etc.

Please feel free to leave any feedback/suggestions regarding the encode. BTW, the TV episodes and OVAs will not fit together on one standard 4.7 GB DVD. I played with switching to AAC (Audio Source is 2 ch PCM) and ordered chapters for the Credited Op/Ed, but always came up a few hundred MB too large. I would have had to lower the video quality a little.

For those wondering (no filters used besides crop/resize/IVTC):
program --level 4.1 --preset slow --tune animation --crf 15.0 --thread-input --keyint 240 --min-keyint 24 --bframes 16 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid strict --ref 16 --vbv-maxrate 2500 --rc-lookahead 40 --merange 24 --direct spatial --subme 7 --no-fast-pskip --ssim --output "output" "input"

Status Update

2010-02-06T21:37:00.001-05:00

Mostly what I've been doing recently is encoding for 4L fansubs and remuxing or re-encoding other groups releases. To organize what I've been doing better I've created a blog for those releases:
MDC Remuxes & Re-encodes

If I ever have another big project I'll do I'll post it here.

You asked for it... ;)

2008-05-05T20:32:00.000-04:00

If you were downloading on the other torrent resume from this one!

These episodes make use of chapter/segment linking. To view the Op/Eds in all episodes, you MUST have file linking enabled in Haali media splitter (I do not know if any other splitter will play these files properly).

To enable file linking in Haali Media Splitter, double click the Haali tray icon, then hit the options tab. Expand the Input drop-down. Set "Try to open linked files" to yes.

There are 2 editions of each set of chapters in the episodes, one with No credits, and one with Credits. I have included the Chapters/Tags in case you want to put the Credited OpEd as the primary edition. I decided to go with NC as the primary still as that is what I had originally done and didn't want to reseed those files, lol. (To remux with chapters/tags, Add the episode, tick no Chapters, no Tags, then go to the global tab and bring in the proper chapters and tags files).
*edit* I forgot to swap the editions in those chapters, it's pretty simple to do it yourself. Just cut the first

[EditionEntry]...[/EditionEntry]

(replace "[" "]" with "<" ">")
block and paste it after the second, or vice-versa.

Episode 3 is simply a v2 because of an error in the episode name in the chapter file. That is all. You can redownload it if you want, or you can remux with the included chapters file, or do nothing, it'll play just fine.

Hope you enjoy it!

Lamune 01-03 x264 + NC Op/Ed

2008-05-04T21:17:00.000-04:00

This is a test release. I'm doing some encoding for another group, and I've been using Lamune for practicing new things (don't worry, this is the fruits of all my practice, not what I made during it).

*Important*
I got a lot of requests for an x264 version of Lamune when I first released it, so here it is. If you want the rest of the episodes you MUST let me know via email or the blog. If I get a few requests I'll release the rest in a batch. My upload is slow and setting up the chapters is tiring, so if nobody wants this I'm not going to bother doing it.

They make use of chapter/segment linking. To view the Op/Eds in all episodes, you MUST have file linking enabled in Haali media splitter (I do not know if any other splitter will play these files properly).

*Important*
To enable file linking in Haali Media Splitter, double click the Haali tray icon, then hit the options tab. Expand the Input drop-down. Set "Try to open linked files" to yes. Also all the files have to be in the same folder.

Hope you enjoy it!

PS

also please let me know if you'd prefer the Op/Eds with credits as the primary one, or the NCOP/NCED as primary, currently NC is primary.

surprise

2008-04-26T23:04:00.000-04:00

I'm working on something (don't get too excited, it's nothing great) so I might have a little surprise coming up....

Wow..

2007-05-01T01:42:00.000-04:00

Wow... Air was licensed. I never expected this.

Good thing I never actually did any work besides gather stuff ^^.

Good news!

2007-02-13T02:27:00.000-05:00

Relish has given me permission to use the scripts from their softsubs of AIR
for timing purposes, which makes the workload for this something
I can manage. I'll definitely be able to do these now!

2007-02-07T14:08:00.000-05:00

OK I got the first episode downloaded.
The quality is amazing. It almost looks sharpened or pixelated when there's
no movement, but there is little to zero artifacting. The pixelated look may
be able to be fixed with filters... for that I'd have to mess around with encoding or find someone who knows how to encode. It's definitely higher quality than Relish's release and probably KAA's also...

btw the res on these raws is 1024x576 which is kind of surprising, since Bluray is 1280x720... but Air is an upscale anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

AIR... maybe

2007-02-06T17:53:00.000-05:00

So I'm in the process of downloading the AIR HDTV raws, which I'm assuming are from the new BLU-RAY release of AIR. If they are higher quality than Relish's HDTV release of AIR, I'll be interested in doing them.

I need input on a few things:
A. If you'd be interested in having this done.
B. If you'd be interested in helping (specifically with karaoke, timing, and possibly encoding).
C. Which subs I should use... I'd probably want to use Triad's or Koi's, obviously I'd have to get permission, but just which people would prefer.

Just leave a comment or reach me at maniacdc at gmail.com (I can't access gawab from my school for some
reason right now... grumble).

Time for the Super Cheesy Episode 12... last one is nothing compared to this...

Lamune DVD Ep 12

Arg... dumb insert song... HKG had done the Kanji and hiragana for the op/ed, so I didn't have to do those... but they didn't for the insert song... I was able to get most of it using the language bar... but some things didn't match C1's. I then had to use character map, sometimes I could find them using the radical but for one or 2 characters, I basically had to scroll through the charmap for ms gothic font =.=.

I forgot how much I hated this last episode. Nanami freaking cuts her hair. What is it with girls in anime and cutting their hair! Misuzu from Air is a prime example of that =.=. Sakura from Naruto. Asuka from GPX Cyber Formula Zero. Heck for that matter, what is it with girls in real life and cutting their hair =.=.

Lamune DVD Ep 06

just love it...

2006-10-25T23:51:00.000-04:00

so it wasn't my CPU that was bad... the new one arrived today and I put it in... it worked for a bit, I left the room and came back, and a pale-ish blue screen was up... completely frozen... restarted the pc and the monitors wouldn't come on... same symptoms as with the old cpu...

Put the 2.4 slow as heck celeron back in... it worked fine...

then i realized the PC's FSB was only 133x4 with the celeron in, whereas its 200x4 with the p4 in, causing more strain on the mobo... I put the p4 back in (it boots when i swap back to the p4 from the celeron for some reason), and then downclocked my FSB to 133 rather than 200. It's working so far... and this P4 at 1.9 GHz is faster than the celeron at 2.4...

so this motherboard which I bought ~3yrs and 3 mos ago.. has a 3 yr warranty... and cost me $180 when I got it. To get a used one off ebay... $150 bucks... 3 stinking years later... and I can't just get any 478 mobo with P4c support because my main drives are on Raid 0, and swapping those causes issues...

I just needed this PC to last me one more year til I got out of college... could it do that? no... of course not >.<

yeah and to return the new cpu... 20% restocking fee +shipping... i think i'll just resell it on ebay...

so that's why no releases today, and yesterday I had to get to bed early after a full day... hopefully I'll get one out tomorrow night.

Lamune DVD Ep 03

so... I'm not sure I'll be able to get Ep04 out til Sunday night... unless somehow I can get it out friday afternoon... I'll be gone for the weekend so we'll see.

sigh

2006-10-19T05:10:00.000-04:00

Bah, not sure if I can get ep3 out til Monday or so. My PC died last night which took a lot of time, using a junk CPU right now because apparently mine fried. I ordered a new one but now I get to wait for it. So anyway, busy with interviews and stuff today, got classes all day tomorrow and I only have the x264 version on C1's ep3... and my P3 laptop is a bit too slow to even it play it for copying subs... maybe I'll have time tonight but I have another interview on Friday... and then I'll be gone all weekend... so I dk...

good thing is ep 4-6 are ready for QC pretty much and ep 7 is about half done, hopefully i'll have 7 and 8 ready for QC tomorrow when I'm in class ^^. Then I can get on a nice release sched of about 1 per day if I can finish ep 3 soon.

MDC Fansubs arrives...

2006-10-06T04:04:00.000-04:00

Anyway, I created this group because I wanted to get english version of the extra Lamune scenes from the DVD's released. I currently have 5/6 done (I'm waiting for the 6th raw and a tracker).

I don't really know Japanese or Chinese... but I've translated HKG's chinese subs with permission to English using babelfish and my limited amount of japanese. Anyway, they should pretty much make sense and I'm sorry ahead of time for any translation errors.

When I get a tracker I'll be sure to post the torrents.

email:
mdcfansubs at gawab.com

P.S.

I have 1.5 DVD version episodes of Lamune subbed in English. However, I'm just copying over C1's subs, and unless I can get permission from them, I won't be releasing them.
