Don't get caught in the crossfire XD

Menclave is comming, sometime.

They're just taking their time on their AFX karaoke. (complicated AFX karaoke that takes double you tee eff-ages to make, and double you tee eff-ages to render).

I chanced upon this

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<@jhkplaya888> mneclave needs to sub my ef <@jhkplaya888> :P <+b0nk> it's at karaoke <+b0nk> not my job <+b0nk> pichu is doing it <+Ramsus> no one blamed you yet though <+b0nk> it's gonna be l337

Bah, I'd rather see Kara* like Aquastar/TWH/Sprocket done for Clannad - simple, looked nice and were legible...

Just watched it... the h.264 one...

That has to be an upscale. And not by a little bit. Judging from what I see, they'd be much better off going 848x480 or something.

And... what's with that haloing. Never seen haloing like that.

(Haloing and ef come hand in hand or something? ef DVD also had retarded haloing, although not as bad as this)

---

EDIT:

Ok, had another look. Oh god, it's not just the haloing... Lets see, banding, dot crawl, rainbowing...

Like almost every single problem you can have stuck into a single vid? It's 2008... There shouldn't be stuff like that.

The encoding demons fallen on us?

I'm not sure, Assassinator..

Apparently there was trouble getting a decent source for it.

On TokyoTosho theres a 186.3MB 720p RAW = AutoFailure.......... none of the RAWs go over 200MB.

[Zero-Raws] ef - a tale of melodies - 01 RAW (D-tvk DivX6.​8.​4 24fps 704x396).​avi would be my personal choice, but still, it's 115MB.. that is tiny even for a WorkRaw..

EDIT: And apparently Chihiro worked with the Transport Stream >.>

Assassinator Wrote:Most (if not all) of the problems would most likely have been there in the original. So it's not Chihiro's problem that the problems are there.

But they should have tried to fix them (rather than do nothing about it). I know it won't be easy... but that's what a dedicated encoder is there for, otherwise they might as well just get the translator to use a 1-click convert...

And don't upsize (or keep station upsize present in the raw), because that just makes it worse. I actually like the pre-release better, because it's not upscaled, and the blocking hides the haloing and dotcrawl to some extent.

Heh, I was bitching about my Sekirei source back then. This is much worse. Lets see how Menclave and AQS fares with the "source from hell".

I see a 199.6MB, 576p raw. But that's an AVI raw, so that 199.6MB < 186.3MB of x264. :(

And size depends on degree of detail, change, and a lot of other factors. So not necessarily 186.3MB = autofail. (But yeah, it does seem really low)

EDIT: Wait, you say Chihiro got a transport stream... and it still looks like that... The studio = fail.

Will most likely be better to get the bigger (frame size) raw and downscale.
