Thanks broody!

Hi broody: Thanks for comic conversion! Would you be able to finish up where Steve left off for Chapter 2 and 3?

I was one of the first guys to go for the Animeigo preorder. For me, shipping was 50 US and customs was 50 US and so that adds up to over $300 US, especially when Canadian dollars were less than US dollars back then. And with my Animeigo DVDs, I received a dented dvd box with lenticular card extra. So there. Getting back to my first question. Has anybody seen the new remastered SDF TV series yet?

Thank you RazorX!

Special DYRL 2008 file has been deleted on Gigafile I wasn't able to get it. Would anybody be able to upload Special DYRL VOXP mod 2008 to rapidshare or megaupload?

Remastering the remaster DYRL is taking me longer than I thought. I corrected and changed and added on all the song subtitles directly into the movie. I also changed up my dyrl subtitles to better match with Gubaba's version. Then I've been working on using photoshop to make an all english DYRL movie title. Almost finished getting the movie title to look nice and to zoom and fade the way I want. Now that I figured out how to do the custom english movie title, I can then apply that to COTB and SDF MML v5. Then there's the zentradi interview that needs subtitling on the top margin of the movie. Tmpeg has been working nicely at getting the video grain smoothed over. So, by this week end I think I can upload the DYRL Best Edition xvid avi to imacross4. And then onto COTB. I needed to get the remastered DYRL into shape, so I can also work the COTB fan edit and SDF MML v5 with the improved video. When I work night shifts, all the finicky details just becomes that much more difficult to do. ********************* I stopped seed the SDF MML bittorrents for the next 3-4 days, so I can upload a bunch of remastered Macross 7 episodes and other Macross files to iMacross4. uTorrent really slows down my internet connection. Maybe, I have too much stuff up/downloading on utorrent?

Did you try www.macrosshare.blogspot.com for voxp?

I hope someone can find the time to do some subtitles for the Itano interview. It looked good, but I don't understand Japanese.

Macross Frontier series episodes will be posted when I can get through uploading remastered M7 7-11 and remastered dyrl with subtitles. I wanted to upload the M Fr episode that I thought had the best subtitles. I like the Shinsen subs for the director's cut. I just finished downloading Shinsen sub M Fr ep 1 just before I left for work tonight. So, I'll watch the Shinsen version and see whether I like it better than Gattai or AiA version before uploading. Macross Share has the latest raw episodes with english subtitles on his website.

Wow! I hope you find the time to do more Macross CGI. "edited" didn't mean to make make fun of Muffins.

A Macros Toy Story? Like a Macross story using Yamato Macross toys? Would you have scans of that for sharing, please? boinger

iMacross4 Updates: 1. Macross Frontier Almost back up to the point where I accidentally deleted stuff. The Frontier pictures will be uploaded to iMacross4 in the next couple of days. a. Macross Frontier Manga 1-4 with text file translations availableon Macross Share Website 2. Macross Games a. Macross 2050 RPG in one easy winrar file b. Macross VO/xp files packaged together c. Computer emulation software bundle as one file (DOS to PSX) d. Homeworld TC bundle on Macross Share website e. Macross Mame Game bundle (5 parts, winrar) 3. Macross Miscellaneous video a. Robotech live action projectCGI composite b. sdf-1...64_LAN.mov by mac666er SDF CGI video test c. Minmay Attacks flash video 4. Macross Miscellaneous a. Macross CGI by Jay-Lew b. Macross CGI by mac666er c. Macross Models updated d. Macross Card collection reorganized ************************** I'm uploading Macross stuff to iMacross4 daily. I found lots of Macross stuff that wasn't posted on iMacross4 while cleaning up my computers. I updated the Macross Picture collection. I'm resubtitling some M7 plus episodes I found the internet. Bio has posted AnimeGiga interview of Itano that I'll repost on iMacross4. You can expect new "old" stuff every week! ******* For example, Macross Share was able to pick up a copy of "Macross: Inside Story" under his Macross soundtracks/music section! Gubaba and Renato are currently looking into translating this Macross Classic audio drama. You can expect more Macross stuff on the way! I'm not sure which version of M Frontier episode 2 to upload to iMacross4 just yet. I'm still waiting on the downloads. Shinsen subs did an excellent job on the M Frontier director's cut ep 1. Gattai and AiA I-Z both have good points for broadcast episode 1, but are best played with CCCP codec and Zoom player software.

Thanks!

I'm interested!

Well, I hope some generous Macross fan will do the same video upgrade that the VIP bittorrent group are doing with Macross 7 series. The remastering job on M7 is very nice. Doesn't change the singing though.

It took me 3 weeks to figure out why the remastered dyrl kept getting this venetian blind video effect when turned into an mpeg. Also, that the resulting mpeg audio and video file were not matched for dvdlabpro to turn into a dvd. Womble mpeg video editor is good for editing, but not at all good for encoding video files into mpeg files. I used Tmpeg software to get an mpv video file at 23.98 FPS from Womble and out came a video even better looking than the original dyrl. Less grain with same level of detail! So, from now on, I'll use Tmpeg for mpeg encoding and check at what frame rate is the original video files. When mixing video/audio files of different frame rates, I think I'll have to use ConvertXtoDVD to get the video frame rates of all the different videos to be all at 30 FPS. ***** Basically, I have a very good avi of the fixed remastered DYRL. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can upload to iMacross4 because I would like to get the english song subtitles on the tope margin. Better picture, perfect edition audio (no pops), 12 frame Bodolza fortress video glitch corrected and separate english subtitles. Gubaba and I have been updating Hurin's transliterated DYRL subtitles. I received his updated DYRL subtitles this evening, so I'm going to spend a little time tomorrow and Monday to double check the differences between his DYRL subtitles and my copy. Gubaba has attempted to make DYRL as accurate as possible, so I'm going to post on iMacross4 both versions of subtitles as soon as I check through both. I'm thinking that I'll hard encode the song subtitles into the dyrl video, so that they are placed on the top margin of the video and then leave both Gubaba's and the older version as separate subtitles. That will take me 3-4 days to title the songs with Womble video editor and then encode the Womble edit into an mpeg with Tmpeg and then use AutoGK to turn the mpeg into an Xvid avi. Gubaba has also updated the Macross Plus subtitles and he is also planning to do a lot more Macross translations this year for his Mega Macross Torrent Upload project. Thanks Gubaba! ****** Currently, I'm going to work on getting most of the Clash of the Bionoids done this week. Tomorrow, my younger brother needs me to get some stuff onto ebay. So, I can start on COTB Monday morning. Busy, busy. *** Since, I have figured out how to use Tmpeg, then for May, I'll redo SDF MML one more time. I would have to do a lot of retiming of subtitles and video editing because I now have the remastered Flashback and Macross 0 ep 1 is in the mail from cdjapan. There's a lot of video quality fixes needed. The Flashback concert scene needs the audio balanced better. The ending credits neeed realiging. oops. I would also like to figure out how to do photoshop better. Otherwise, I like where all the scenes are transitioned into place. I'm on holidays for May, so I can get SDF MML V5 done as a bittorrent dvd and an Xvid avi on iMacross4. Also, when M zero ep1 gets to me in the mail, I can get Hikuro's english dub M0 ep1 upgraded to dvd with some cover art. Then I hope I'll learn enough to do a good job with the Macross Plus Movie Extended edition "The Alpha and The Omega" I still have to watch M Frontier ep 2 bye for now

For this week, I'm working on a Clash of the Bionoids DVD with remastered DYRL video. It's slow going because the audio is for 30 fps and the DYRL video is 23.98 fps, so a lot of cutting and moving audio around. I also discovered today that Tmpeg software can encode the remastered DRYL video into something better looking than what I have on my remastered DYRL dvd. COTB special edition will most likely be available in 3 weeks as a DVD through bittorrent on MiniNova.org and as an xvid avi through iMacross4. See Macross Fan Edits under the Macross Fan Works thread for further information.

Hikuro has a huge collection of Macross sound effects that he uses for his english Macross fan dubs. Mac666er and Jay-Lew made some of the best Macross CGI I have ever seen. I was thinking about a Macross fan edit to composite in cgi models, but I'm nowhere near the skill level of doing that just now. Sounds really cool!

VF-25 Shiva destroyer of worlds!

The fan editor from FanEdit.org saw SDF MMLv4 and knight26 probably saw SDF MML v1 or 2 Raul2106 also posted a review on SDF MML v1 or 2: "Your DYRL edit is truly unique and should be appreciated and cherished for all the hard work and dedication you have given it. I personally love it and believe your edit to be a new favorite. I don't know what kind of equipment knight whatever used to watch your film but I watched it with my HD-DVD A-30 and connected my Sony wireless DTS headphones into the optical audio jack and had a beautiful experience. Not to mention the fact that my first viewing of it was with my wife and she enjoyed it. My wife doesn't really even like anime much. So all that being said if fanedited rejects your work I say it is their loss. Thanks again for a truly beautiful viewing experience. Looking forward to CLASH OF THE BIONOIDS!" So, that cheers me up a bit. ***** I'm just getting the remastered dyrl into shape for uploading to iMacross4 and then I can work the remastered dyrl avi into shape for the Clash of the bionoids. Converting the mpeg into an avi with autogk now. Gubaba is still working on updating the dyrl subtitles. I'm doing a lot of backing up for iMacross4 and one of my computer's hard drives died. So, that kept me busy last week. I found a whole bunch of stuff to upload to iMacross4. Stay tuned for next week to the iMacross4 FAQ for updates.

Hi: I just thought I would post some reviews on SDF MML. Here's a quote: "I like the entire idea behind this ... This is not going to be approved on fanedit.org, the reason being is technical. The film as a whole suffers from a lot of artifact noise, macro blocks during most scene changes and movement, slight film stutter when one framerate is not converted properly to another, but the biggest issue, an odd kind of noise that appears every other frame for the entire film. This odd artifact literally looks like venetian blinds you may have in your house if they were vertical. When I first saw them I figured it might have been from the video game footage but as I watched/skimmed through, it is there for the length of the film. The fact that you made this a DL disc and it looks the way it does will have many people complaining. The making lacks quality so much that there is a good chance, people will not be happy at all, which could result in really bad reviews and a bad reputation." knight26 also posted a review. "The new prologue parts and PSX footage really doesn't mesh well, there is just too great a difference in animation, and story wise they don't work becuase you have no idea of the conflict going on there. The zentraedi fleet scene, that was completely unneccessay and looked very bad. Integration of the 2012 footage to the concert, sorry that really hits me the wrong way, none of it meshes correctly, justy put it at the end where it belongs." ************ So, I won't be able to post this movie on FanEdit.org beacause of numerous technical flaws. The fan editor reviewer has not seen if my inserted extra scenes actually fit in with the movie's main story line. I'm not sure how to fix the mistakes I made. I was hoping that knight26 would point out specifically what my mistakes were and how to possibly address the mistakes I made. He was saying that he much preferred the perfect edition DYRL just the way it is. I'm guessing the video problems stem from using G_P's DYRL v2 video, which was filtered and using it in the fan edit. Then there's the differences in frame rate (16-30 fps) between the SDF, DYRL and Flashback video footage that caused audio / video synch problems. I solved the audio sych problem by running the movie through ConvertXtoDVD as 30 fps, so I could have some video files that could be used by dvdlabpro. I just felt happy that I was able to get some result from all the effort I put in. I was a little bit deluded. Oh, man. I'll see if anybody can make some suggestions on how to fix my mistakes. I'm stumped. I'm not sure if I should just pull the plug on the MiniNova.org bittorents right now or wait a bit to see how disappointed people can get. ************** I"m just waiting for Gubaba to look over the DYRL subtitles and then I'll upload the remastered DYRL avi to iMacross4. The Clash of the Bionoids fan edit is not as complicated as SDF MML, so I can't make as many mistakes.

Problem solved: "Right Click Mouse and Save As", when you get a bunch of garbled text when downloading from Rapidshare.

Clash of the Bionoids is on hold this week. I'm re organizing and backing up iMacross4. It's a lot more work than I thought because there's a lot of files and I'm backing up to dvd s and to an extra hard drive. I accidentally deleted the Macross Frontier files from my rapidshare folder when transferring to a rapidshare free collector's account. I was trying to make more room on my premium rapidshare account for the upcoming Frontier series. No files were lost; I just need to upload the Macross Frontier stuff onto iMacross4 again. 2-3 weeks for uploading, since I'm also using bittorrent to upload my macross fan edits. Macross Share website still has Macross Frontier stuff on his first webpage for downloading. So, my macross project for this week, other than backing macross stuff up, is re doing the remastered dyrl with english subtitles. G_P dyrl v2 is really good, except for using Hurin's old version of his subtitles and the karoke subtitles. Some people on Macross World would have liked the original grainy version of the dyrl movie rather than the filtered G_P dyrl version. Then there's also the audio pops on the remastered dyrl dvd, which don't sound to be on G_P's dyrl and the 6 frame bodolza video glitch. Fixes: 1. original remastered dyrl video 2. perfect edition dyrl audio (had to adjust the audio synch a bit to match the remastered video) 3. 6 frame bodolza video glitch (easy fix with womble mpeg video editor software) 4. I have my updated version of Hurin's dyrl english subtitles ready to go. I'm just running the remastered dyrl dvd though autogk to get the .avi video encoding fixed up for the womble mpeg editor. In womble I'll do my video and audio fixes. Then I can add the subtitles with autogk and get this uploaded in the next 2 weeks along with the Frontier files. Then I'll get back to Clash of the Bionoids by next week. **** After the Clash of the Bionoids, I was going to do a mini dvd of Hikuro's Dark Heroes Entertainment : Macross Zero episode one english dub. Maybe, M0 episode one needs an english title? 1. upgrade the wmv video 2. dvd menu 3. cover art 4. any macross zero extra features? trailer or Macross 0 zero After the M0 upgrade project, Macross Plus remastered dvd s will reach me by the end of next month for my next project. Macross Plus - The Alpha and The Omega Extended Edtion, which will include mecha footage from the ova s back into the movie.
