Live-eviL Recruitment Center / Come QC for Live-Evil!

« on: July 09, 2006, 09:23:52 pm »

Do you like You're Under Arrest, Shion no Ou, Detective Academy Q, and the other Live-Evil projects? Would you like to get involved in fansubbing?

We need more QCers! The quality checker's purpose in life is to watch an episode and nitpick. We ask you to find any errors in translation (any that are easily detectable at least), editing, timing, typesetting, and encoding. It's a great way to learn about fansubbing and to start getting involved. Benefits include watching pre-releases and bitching at ops when they screw up. 

The primary requirements include competency in modern-day english (spelling, grammar, syntax and diction), as well as the ability to play those video types used by L-E. A passing familiarity with VDub, Aegisub or Substation Alpha is handy but certainly not necessary.

All potential QCers, please please please read this page before applying, as that will be our first question to you! http://www.live-evil.org/so-you-want-to-be-a-live-evil-qcer/

If you feel up to the task, pm tlynnec (aka. tlynnec|LLE) either here in the forums or in the IRC channel (#live-evil on irc.enterthegame.com) or email tlynnec@live-evil.org.

As far as I know, "pain in the ass" normally gets abbreviated as "PinTA". I know a NYPinTA  (New York pain in the ass).

Possibly. But you're lovable which totally makes up for it. <3

I seriously don't think you've got your codecs set up correctly. My 1.5 GHz machine plays any h264 just fine. CPU usage peaks at 30% and not a single artifact. I've never seen the problem you're describing.

You might want to go check out some of the codec packs (CCCP comes to mind) or other codec schemes (as in Froth-Bite's). MPC generally plays these files just fine. Hell, with the right codecs, WMP will play them just fine too.

Greylopht, I hate to do this to you, but I had no trouble running both ffdshow and Haali on a Pentium II. Admittedly, the h264 files these days would have murdered it, but even the avi files currently in use are not a problem on that particular computer and it's over ten years old. I'm not entirely sure what you're doing but I don't think it's the fansubber's encoding at fault.

As to Juuousei itself, I also love the show and have to say that there are a couple of excellent groups working on it. They are of course a bit slow, but you should be rather used to that if you've much experience with L-E.

you mean theres a difference oO? .... between manical and evil >>?

Just because you're crazy doesn't necessarily make you nasty, cruel or evil.

But they sure do go well together.

This line of discussion is quickly becoming silly, so I'll keep this short. It is considered rude to ask when the next episode is coming simply because it irritates the fansubbers. You'll note that the staff are generally pretty happy to give status updates on virtually any show but the very popular ones.

It doesn't matter if the questions are harmless or that we should probably ignore them. We don't feel particularly pressured by the questions and we sure as hell aren't sensitive. It's a matter of precedent. If we let someone get away with it now... the slippery slope effect comes into play. The single most irritating factor here is that it's spam. Both here and on the IRC channel, people just don't need to be wading through the junk of dozens of people asking "Where's my TRC?" We had the same issue when it came to ID4. You've been told not to do it, so don't. It's as simple as that.

As to my supposed rage issues....

I just can't think of any response to that. I don't have any rage issues. Weird, yes. Random, yes. Exceedingly strange, yes. Mildly irritated, probably. Full of rage? No. I'm actually rather amused by this whole thing.

TsubasaSeraphina, as much as I do sympathize with wireless difficulties, there is no excuse for the misunderstanding. You did not take the time to understand what was going on in the thread, made a snap judgement and thus managed to make a nuisance of yourself. My original response to the original post by LTanimeanime was quite appropriate.

And one final thing:
While this is an online forum, it isn't a public forum. There are specific rules both here and on the IRC channel. You've just encountered the best enforced of those rules. It may be a silly one, but hey, dem's de rules...

First things, first. You didn't happen to actually read the first page properly, did you? You'll note that the post that LTanimeanime quoted occurred before you posted in this thread. Why on earth would my response to that post be a response to you then?

As to the rest of your post:
To be frank, the explanation has been quite clear. The translator simply doesn't currently have the time to devote to fansubbing activities due to issues IRL. In essence, the translator for the show is gone. I really don't see how much more clear one can get. If no more details have been given, it's most likely due to the fact that a) they aren't particularly relevant and b) they're no one else's bloody damn business. It has been stated on this very website that unless a series has been announced as being dropped, we are still doing it. Questions answered.

Also, come to think of it, I just thought, judging by the TRC S2 master tread, that some people do care that they "aren't get getting their weekly fix of anime", and that is not to say that anyone has pressured the staff or been rude, but they do care.

Unless there has been some stated goal as to when these episodes will be released, there is simply no excuse for even asking. It is the commonly written rule of fansubbing that because this is an activity done in people's spare time, it cannot be expected to conform to any sort of schedule. All sorts of things crop up to delay a project. When I said "no one," the implication is in fact "the staff".

If you'll remember, there were a couple of rather long pauses during the first season as well.

4 years?! This is definitely the wrong place to be calling a show done in 2002 "old". But it was indeed an excellent show. You might want to check out his next work "The Place Promised in our Early Days" (I can't be bothered to write down japanese title). Also excellent and he even had a staff this time.

Please note, you'll want to be careful what aspects of Shinkai's work you talk about here. Both these titles have had R1 DVD releases (and I would guess R2 as well). Otherwise, gumba will get grumpy with you.

I'm positive they aren't illegal in Canada seeing as this artist: http://www.springtimecreations.com/scary.html got them across the border last year for Westercon. And seeing as how some merchandise that was considerably more innocuous had difficulty getting across...
