New Series: Sailor Stars - REMASTERED!
Ranmchan:
All I have to say is THANK YOU!! ;D
I was just thinking the other day of pulling out my old Vkill tapes. Definitely worth the re-watch.
I am glad that this was picked up.. I just hope that nothing happens before you guys finish releasing the series.
Daisuki-chan:
You guys so ROCK as someone said before I also enjoy VKLL's copies but I just watched your release and all I could say is wow! :o I would like to ask a couple of questions before voting,
1. a, Does anyone view their anime in Winamp here?
1. b, Can you view H264 files in Winamp, if so how?
I goofed and voted for H264 when I thought that was what I was viewing. (GOMEN) I was actually viewing it via avi in Winamp.
Keep up the fantastic work between this and NANA I think I love you guys!

Preferred means of viewing h264 is using media player classic.
Recommended setup is ffdshow latest build + haali media spliter + media player classic for any and all h264 type files.
It's a rather long and complex explanation about the differences between the 3 different types of h264 files.
MP4 -
It's the most pure format and most standards compliant but can't support AC3 native audio tracks only AAC
MKV -
Yes it supports AC3 but not everyone can get it to work right and dislike it on princple
AVI -
h264 in AVI is a bit of a hack but also takes ac3 tracks.
It's kinda a bit of the devil and deep blue sea situation and fansubbing as a whole hasn't really picked one standard format for the distribution of h264. Theres always the xvid release to fall back on but for those who prefer the better vid quality that h264 offers we're giving people the choice of how they want their poison.

Haali media splitter should handle the MKV container nicely. MKV is s a great container and I use it when I do any encoding for myself.
Have you thought about looking into the CCCP, it uses the things you mentioned, and it would get everybody on the same page as far as playback is concerned.
What it installs:
--- Quote from: CCCP faq ---* Haali Media Splitter 2006-02-25 (MKV,MP4,OGM,AVI)
o Required for compliant MKV playback. Attempts to disable other MKV splitters on the system. This filter is also used for MP4 and OGM, as well as AVI. AVI is not used by default in the pack and is not recommended to do so. You will, however, need the OGM and MP4 parts for playing those files, as Windows doesn't understand those formats by itself.
* VSFilter 2.37 (SSA/ASS,SRT,VOBSUB subtitles)
o Displays subtitles. It will attempt to disable any previous DirectVobSub installations you might have.
* ffdshow 2006-04-30 CCCP build (H.264/AVC,DivX,XviD, various audio formats etc.)
o Decodes H.264, XviD, DivX, and generic MPEG-4 video. Also used for audio decoding with the following formats turned on by default: AAC, Vorbis, MP3, AC3, DTS, FLAC, TTA. If you would like to turn off ffdshow decoding for a specific video or audio format, read further down for instructions on how to do it properly. Note: this is a stripped-down and well tested ffdshow build. Do NOT assume that you can replace it with any other ffdshow version.
* WMV9VCM
o Required to play WMV9 content if you don't have Windows Media Player 9 or 10, Windows Media Format SDK, or Microsoft Codec Installation Package for Windows Media Player 7.1 installed - ffdshow can't decode WMV9. If any of those are installed, then WMV9VCM will be ignored during playback (even if it was installed by CCCP) and the WMV9 codecs that come with them will be used instead (which is a good thing).
* Gabest's MPV (MPEG2) Decoder 1.0.0.3
o Decodes MPEG2 video (the stuff on a DVD). Used instead of ffdshow for a number of reasons.
* Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0
o Media Player Classic, one of the two recommended players. Choose this one or Zoom Player according to your preference.
* Zoom Player Standard 4.51
o The other recommended player. Other players are NOT supported; see the Media Players page.

Edit: fixed typo
Daisuki-chan:
I actually ended up setting up Zoom Player as someone from Animesuki suggested and now am able to view H264 but I still wish H264 played in Winamp.
I have to vote with my beliefs and love of Winamp, so I may be in the minority
but I vote for #3 AVI
The good news is whatever gets voted on I can still view the episodes. Thanks for the info though I do appreciate it...
