*****************

Fan Edit update:

Okay, so I updated the video, audio and subtitles to almost all the DYRL versions I have done so far, which kept me busy for two weeks.

Apparently, one small video fix turned into a big project, so that I saw all the other stuff that needed fixing, too.

Chad's DYRL .m2v will be uploaded by tomorrow.

OptimusX is off on holidays until the end of next week and then we'll have a subtitle patch for this remastered DYRL

DVD project.

DYRL Special Edition v2 .mkv is also in the upload queue for next week.

And now, I'm working on the DHE DYRL DVD project to update the aspect ratio and video quality.

Then I'm likely to re-do Clash of the Bionoids DVD to get the updated audio and use Chad's dyrl video.

That's all for this week

Is it this one?

I'm uploading Chad's fixed dyrl .m2v video again.

I made more work out of that than was actually needed.

After encoding the movie with Tmpeg encoder, DGpulldown was needed to make the .m2v video recognizable for Muxman software. Even though Muxman told me I had an error. The error was mostly due to Muxman not liking .m2v video files larger than the standard DVD size of 4.5 gb. So, after that I followed Xeros/OptimusX guide for getting the m2v subtitled and muxed with audio to place into the original DVD menu structure.

Since this dyrl .m2v is edited, it doesn't match up with the DVD chapter menu.

OptimusX was telling me how there is a way to get the chapter menu to recognize the .m2v, but that's something to learn about later. I was just happy that I was able to get the DVD mostly working.

This week, I'm working on fixing up some Macross Fan Edits.

Chad's fixed DYRL .m2v, dyrl boinger best .mkv, DHE DYRL DVD videos and DHE M0 episode 1.

I work on one fan edit a little bit and then work on another one because the video encoding takes a day or so to complete.

I thought I had sorted out the DYRL video edits until I watched the current dyrl mkv videos (dyrl special edition and dyrl boinger best) and found that the last 5 minutes of video didn't quite match up with the audio. And so, I went back to fixing things.

Chad's fixed dyrl .m2v is turning out to be more work than I thought.

1. The dyrl video needed to be aligned properly with the dyrl audio because I had put in a video transition that shifted the video by 6 frames.

Fixed that.

2. Aspect ratio wasn't outputting to 720x480 properly from the original dyrl resolution 853x480.

Fixed that.

3. Then I had to use DGpulldown to get the encoded .m2v to be recognized properly by Muxman or IFOEdit.

Thankfully, the dyrl ac3 audio still matched up at this point.

Fixed that.

4. Muxman reported that the GOP in the m2v/mpeg video file needed fixing.

So, I ran it through the womble video editor GOP fixer.

Appears to be fixed.

5. Muxman reports a video buffer underflow problem due to the dyrl .m2v video being encoded at higher

than 5000 kb/s with Tmpeg Encoder. The buffer underflow appears to be a limitation of Muxman software because I found that specific discussion in the videohelper forum.

I saw 1 video glitch when Hikaru was ragging on Misa with Muxman.

I'll try IFOEdit to mux again and see if that video underflow error crops up.

Otherwise, I'll re-encode Chad's fixed dyrl m2v at <5000kb/s to fix this video buffer underflow problem.

Once, I can confirm that the fixed DYRL .m2v is working into a subtitled DYRL DVD, then I'll upload it.

6. IFOEdit reports a video buffer underflow error, too! So, it looks like I'll re-encode Chad's fixed dyrl at < 5000 kb/s, once the DHE M0 video has been encoded. Maybe, I'll stop the MO encode and lower the bitrate now.

***************

The boinger best dyrl fan edit was fixed by just splitting the video to match the audio and then sliding out the video to fill the gap.

Next, it will need encoding to an .m2v, muxing into a dvd vob, then converting to .mkv with Handbrake and finally adding in June 2009 dyrl subs.

But right now, I'm encoding DHE M 0 episode 1 with 14 more hours to go.

Resolution 1920x1080 with an aspect ratio or 720x480, 16x9 widescreen.

I checked off all the extras on Tmpeg encoder just to see how the video output could be enhanced.

Then, there's also the DHE dyrl music video and psx video that I want to double check for aspect ratios.

Slow going.

************************

I tried seeding the Galaxy Network SDF TV episode 1-6 batch 1 and it didn't quite work for me.

I used MKVtoolnix to mux in Gubaba's sdf version 2 subtitles, but the resulting video file sizes were larger than the ones Gubaba posted, which meant that I couldn't seed the version 2 SDF videos. So, if you download from Gubaba's batch 1, then please upload the same amount. Thanks!

Before I get working on Miss DJ, I would like to fix up my previous fan edits with Chad's DYRL video and Hikuro's M0 episode 1 DVD. Maybe, if I learned a little more about after effects then that would help doing a picto-sub video fan edit, like that evangelion radio show?

Gubaba has updated SDF TV ep 01-06 subtitles!

So, if you've already downloaded SDF TV Galaxy Network episodes, then you can swap out the old subs and plug in the new subs with the included MKVtoolnix software.

Once you've swapped the SDF TV 01-06 subtitles, then we invite you to seed for

the 1st Galaxy Network SDF TV episode 01-06 batch file!

Thanks!

*******************

I finished re-encoding DHE DYRL video and now I'm encoding Chad's fixed DYRL video.

I didn't bother using sharpen or denoise function for these new DYRL video encodes, since the results didn't look any different to me, but the encoding time is reduced just by not using two options.

Now that I have the aspect ratio problem fixed with the main DYRL movie, then I'll see if I can get the aspect ratio on the PSX dyrl video clip and Hikuro's DYRL music video sorted out. I have been using the Tmpeg encoder to clip the videos to make them fit into a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the top and bottom borders turn out to be a lot smaller than the usual letterbox form. So, I'll see if that "maintain(ing) the aspect ratio " within Womble video editor will fix the aspect ratio in the same way.

I sent off SDF TV ep 07 subtitles back to Gubaba for approval, so pretty soon ep 07 will be available though bittorrent.

I'm uploading DYRL theatrical subtitled .mkv now. Once I'm done that, I'll seed for SDF TV batch 1.

Almost have SDF ep7 subtitles retimed for Gubaba's approval.

Release date for bittorrent is this weekend!

Remastered DHE DYRL DVD project:

I've been working on remastering DHE DYRL DVD with Chad Dunham's improved DYRL video and getting the aspect ratio fixed up.

In Womble video editor, I noticed that if I checked "maintain aspect ratio" for the main movie that is in 16:9 wide screen and un-check all the other video clips that have 4:3 aspect ratio then the resulting entire video will be 16:9 wide screen.

I use Tmpeg encoder with settings: 1:1 VGA, no margin - maintain aspect ratio. The brightness and contrast were lowered by -15 to slightly hide the film grain with default sharpen edge and default noise reduction. I like the results.

But, I noticed by fixing the Boddole Zer fortress video glitch in the DHE DYRL video that I have to be careful that the duration of the scene blend does not move the video out of place and make the audio after the video fix slightly off.

So, I thought I would double check on the Chad's DYRL fixed .m2v video and found that I did make that mistake.

I'm re-encoding Chad's DYRL fixed .m2v again. Then a final re-encode for the DHE DYRL .m2v video. It takes about 24 hours for each 2 hour movie.

(DYRL boinger best .mkv is also off just a bit. sigh.)

Which also means, that I'm going to update the video for the remastered DYRL dual audio special edition .mkv.

I'm still trying to figure out DVDlabpro to get some chapter menus and an info menu page onto the DHE DYRL DVD.

I'll see what I can do.

OptimusX says he'll help get the subtitles together for this DVD once I get it all together.

I guess I like to keep busy.

How many issues of Macross Ace do you think would cover all 36 episodes of SDF TV?

VE-1 Elintseeker Line art for those who like to custom colour.

If you have downloaded the Macross 2036 picture collections, then you will need to swap the mecha of Shellcair-gar and Rogren-rau pictures with each other.

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29932

After watching the few Macross 2036 videos from youtube, I saw that the Shellcair-gar appears in Macross 2036 video.

Shellcair-Gar

Seto Kaiba has mentioned that the Rogren-rau and the Manzanip-laa only occur in Macross 2037 Eternal Love Song, while Shellcair-gar appears in both 2036 and 2037.

Rogren-Rau

Manzanip-Laa

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=746357

I mixed up the pictures because I thought that any mecha ending with the suffix -rau would be meltrandi in origin and appearance and so could not have the suffix -gar.

Seto Kaiba is working towards getting the details straightened on these games.

SDF TV episode 6 subtitled is now on iMacross4!

remastered SDF TV ep6 Galaxy Network

remastered SDF TV ep6 Special Edition

dual audio

Next, I'll be retiming DYRL theatrical subtitles.

Gubaba has posted up remastered SDF TV episode 06 subtitled by Galaxy Network on bittorrent!

Please seed 1:1 ratio.

******************

I'm muxing in the sdf ep6 subs and will be uploading regular and special edition dual audio for this weekend.

I'll post again when the episodes have been uploaded.

Flashback 2012 DVD project is completed.

Thanks to Chad Dunham and OptimusX!

DYRL DVD project is almost completed.

OptimusX has posted up his DYRL version 2 on asiandvdclub.org.

It has zentradi/spanish/english subtitles!

Then OptimusX was going to work on turning the May 2009 DYRL subtitles into a remastererd DYRL subtitle patch.

So, we'll have two DYRL subtitle patches to choose from and swap in Chad's fixed up DYRL video.

Fixed up versions of remastered SDF ep5 regular and special edition have finally been posted onto iMacross4.

Ep.00-03 and 05 all have updated subtitles on iMacross4.

It looks like Gubaba will be putting together a 6 episode batch of remastered SDF TV with the version 2 subtitles.

I think we have worked out all the subtitle style kinks.

I'm at 50% done subtitling for sdf ep6. So, that'll be done and ready by this weekend.

Then I'll get back to timing DYRL theatrical subtitles and those Macross Fan Edits, too.

Also, I've almost finished up another picture collection to share with Archive Scans.

Stay tuned!

*********************************

Gubaba was telling me that he will be bittorrenting version 2 subtitles for remastered SDF TV episode 00-05 + episode 6 subtitled. I'll be posting those new subtitle files on iMacross4 as well. Thanks Gubaba!

Thanks, sketchley.

The subtitled Star Ship Troopers anime can still be found on animesuki.

The Starship Trooper Chronicles CGI cartoon was way better then the Japanese anime!

And Sony refuses to produce the final 3 episodes of SST Chronicles due to mature subject matter.

At least, that's from what I read.

I just wanted to add in to RedWolf's list that there are Destroid Defenders

for the Vindirance (Terrorist/Freedom Fighter) Group.

I thought that the Vandal Gunship and Hatchet Class Destroyer were more like capital ships rather than mecha because of their heavy firepower and they don't quite look like a valkyrie to me.

Is it the Black Rainbow Unit or the Black Ravens Unit?

I've seen both names as translations in the game walktrhoughs.

Weren't the Black Rainbow Unit initially a part of the Vindirance Group?

VFX2 has such a convoluted story to me.

I wish a Macross OVA could be made of this game!

Thanks RedWolf!

And thank you, Mr. March, for your great website!

********

I had to take down 2 Macross Frontier files because Gubaba

is still working on them.

I've been muxing in the May 2009 DYRL subs for some new DYRL .mkv videos and I've noticed a little problem with the movie title screen.

Ali Sama and Mechamaniac came up with these nice english titles that glide into place with the movie title.

But, when I changed the resolution of DYRL .mkv closer to the original movie's resolution (853x540), then the nice english titles go up and to the left too much.

I need to play around with the DYRL subs a little more.

**************

Fixed that. Now, I just need to upload it.

And the Micronauts!

The first 12 issues drawn by Michael Golden are still my favourites.

But, the movie has to keep out the cross-continuity with other Marvel Super heroes, that Deus ex Machina Captain Marvel-like character and fix up some plot holes, such as after a thousand years of Baron Karza's tyranny, he finally gets around to destroying the royal family.

remastered SDF TV episode 05 is now available!

remastered ep 5 subtitled

.mkv, 5 parts, HJSplit

special edition ep 5 subtitled + dual audio

.mkv, 8 parts, HJSplit

Ep5 Bittorrent is here as well !

Thanks to Gubaba !

***************************

I was able to download some SDF .mkv videos that have the ADV English audio in them.

So, I'll extract the ADV audio files, time them with the remastered SDF video and post them up.

You'll be able to mux in the new English audio files with MKVtoolnix software.

SDF ep5 has the ADV audio already inside.

Gubaba requested that the Galaxy Network SDF .mkv videos have Japanese audio only.

******

SDF TV special edition Version 2 updates:

I just noticed that the SDF ep4 Special Edition needed a 300 ms delay for subtitles and english audio to have everything match up. I'll start fixing up some version 2 special edition episodes.

Episode 5 Special Edition is just fine.

All of the Galaxy Network regular remastered have subs and audio that match up just fine.

************

Uploading SDF ep 2,3,4 v2 Special Edition .mkv videos.

Here is also the May 2009 DYRL subs that are being worked on by OptimusX for a DVD subtitle patch.

Mux in these new DYRL subs with MKVtoolnix software.

OptimusX is also working on making a 2nd version of his subtitled (Eng/Spanish) DYRL DVD.

Here's a top ten comics to movie list that I agree with.

Except that, I would put Mage, Grendel, Dynamo Joe and Next Man in the top 4.

Mave Guide part 2 by WM Cheng pdf now uploaded.

Galaxy Network Presents:

remastered SDF TV episode 05 subtitled .mkv bittorrent

Be sure to seed 1:1, please.

**********************

I posted up a May 10/09 update at the end of the previous post about why it's taking me so long to get these Macross picture collections together.

The Bandai Mave step by step guide part 2 pdf was corrupt.

I deleted it from iMacross4 and I'll be uploading a working copy in the next 2-3 days.

Galaxy Networks Presents:

remastered SDF TV episode 04 subtitled .mkv bittorrent

It's been out for a couple of weeks.

Be sure to seed 1:1, please.

I think Gubaba has also been posting this under the MW "Homepages" thread.

**************************

May 9/09

MW VF Variations Picture Collection had a few VF-11s and VF-1Xs in the wrong folder, so I deleted and made a new collection for upload.

I found 2 more Macross Scrambled Valkyrie Picture Collection game screens mixed in with Macross 2036:

Neld Fleet Incident Picture Collection, so I made two new collections and put them back in the upload queue.

I finished up Macross: M3 picture collection for upload.

I accidentally deleted MW Macross CGI picture collection.

Oops, I'm getting a little tired of sitting in front of my computer.

That just leaves M7, VFX and VFX2 for picture collections.

I've been going over all of iMacross4. Quite a few Macross files appear to have vanished and it's likely that Rapidshare removed the files after a few months of nobody downloading them.

I'll post again when I have these files uploaded.

*********************************

May 10/09

While looking for pictures to put together for a Mospeada picture collection, I discovered the www.robotechresearch.com website. It's a Robotech fan website, so I didn't expect the mecha names to be accurate. Holy Schmoley!

I found a whole lot of Macross and Mospeada pictures that I didn't expect to find. So, I had to re update the Macross 2036 and M3 picture collections yet again!

I even found some pictures of the Zentradi quadraped mecha from Sega Saturn DYRL.

I'm not sure where to put this picture other than in the Macross Games Picture Collection.

Another picture collection to re do.

I found with the new pictures that I could put together a Macross Mecha Protoype picture collection. I'm not sure if I should just incorporate some of the mecha from the Advanced Valkyrie picture collection or just completely re do both.

I just need to go over the M7 capital ships and I'll be done with M7, VFX, and VFX2.

But now, I just need a break from all of this picture cataloguing today.
