During the 74 blink was intense, when the german kid showed up I was in shock and awe, it actually reminded me of forums like these, when one of us has a problem no matter how far our countries are we help each other out anonymous or not - so yeah a bit teary. Totally unexpected last minute save for me .

Spoiler

of course, none of us would actually admit it if that scene made us cry, as net addicted as we are.

 

[Cold Storm]

no more spoilers! I still haven't watched it! Grabbed the wrong version!!!

 

[djisas]

I grabbed 2 versions, didnt watch any, delete both and got a 3rd better version BD rip to watch asap...

 

[MKmods]

I grabbed a 7.9gig 1080p version and it looks cool but has a dam commentary that I cant turn off..So far the [Zero-Remux] 1.3 gig is the best one I have that I can watch it looks really nice)

Last night I finished season 2 of Vandread and loved it. (great ending) and Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure also a great ending and very interesting story.

 

[djisas]

i have qts raw + external subs...
Im sure you can turn commentary off, you should look on your media player for media streams, it probably has 2 audio tracks from which you can chose...

I recommend of you to use the core media player 4, old stuff but the best i tried...

 

[MKmods]

I tried MPClassic, Gom, WMP and Dvix (wont let me shut it off) Il take a look at CMP4, thanks dj.

 

[djisas]

it is worth it for its simplicity of use and efficiency at playing anything you throw at it...
Be sure to get cccp too it will make anything play on the core with great quality http://www.cccp-project.net/...

Here it is the core: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/the_core_media_player.htm (note everything on the site is freeware, for free not piracy), the company that created it, has come with a new piece of software that i checked and it sux real bad compared with the old one...

 

[MKmods]

I have the CCCp and picked up the 4.11 player, thanks again

 

[djisas]

Here's an interesting fun anime i watched ages ago, but just pooped up again recently: http://wakaranai.animeblogger.net/?p=4157&cpage=1#comment-52935, i think it might be worth taking a look for a good ninja nonsense comedy...

the title 2x2shinobuden or simply ninja nonsense...

I was thinking of getting a hold of FLAG. Anyone seen this before and it is worth a look?

 

[MKmods]

[TheLaughingMan]

You know, i tried, but i think i fell a sleep at least a couple times back then and subs where really slow, so i never bothered again...

By the way i just bought my first blue-ray, i bough evangelion 1.11 from amazon, préordered it last week and received it yesterday...

Now i just need to buy a bd player...

Drive for PC is about $65 to $85 with no burning ability. $95+ for BD burners. Higher the speed of the burner feature, the more expensive.

Stand alone players....the Magnavox that is usually on sale at Wal-mart for around $135 is fairly good overall player. The very best overall players including BD playback and DVD up-scaling are made by Sony and Samsung. There are also some good LG's, but honestly the price of all of them are high enough to just by a PS3. It has the second best DVD up-scaler on the market, plays BD very well, can server as a media center to some degree, etc., etc.

LOL, dj is quite far from the nearest Newegg or Walmart... By the way what does a BR player cost over there dj? (I wouldnt mind sending you one if its a better deal)

 

[[crs]]

Ive found Liteon Blu Ray player (iHOS104) for the pc to be pretty decent, very slow only a read of 4x for blu ray and 8x for dvd

http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=274&Itemid=191

Found it decent at reading DVD's that were scratched whereas on the pioneer 215 they would skip.

Didn't know that, but the general information still applies, just difference in currency and maybe cost. Overall price range should still be about the same I guess.

I was looking at the Plextor (but the reviews just slam it)

This one looked cool to me (I like different looking stuff)

Plextor usually does good stuff, i wanted a pioneer drive but havent seen any yet, seen some lg but im not to fond of lg, i think the liteon drive goes for 70€ something over 80$ probably...

Gotta investigate the market properly...

Compared with egg its way overpriced that 4x liteon...

That 10x lg drive looks tasty...

Also can get 8x lg drive for 85€ ~ 100$ suppose its the best around here...
Found a 8x samsung for 85 too...

The lg has 4mb while the samsung has 2mb, which you guys think might be better??

 

[MKmods]

you prices are pretty close, thats nice.

(I wonder if there is a real dif between 2 and 4mb cache drives?)

Watching Baka to Test eps 10,11 right now (pretty funny)

For the first time I actually got a reference to another anime...There is a scene where Yoshii has a Fist of the North Star thing drawn on his chest..

Just for Playback, no difference what-so-ever. Burning makes a difference when burning Blu-ray disks cause the larger buffer helps during transfers because Blu-ray disks have such a large data density.

It should also make some difference for DVD burning, but not enough to matter. I hope this info. helps.

Just for you MKMods

Dance in the Vampire Bund update

After negative fan reaction to an edited DVD and Blu-Ray release Funimation released announcement, another statement was issued on March 10, 2010 which the company expects to release the show unedited based on the first seven episodes. They will make a final decision on the rest of the series, once the company has seen the final five episodes to ensure they comply with U.S. law.
