I really like the Shensen subtitling job. What a great start to a Macross series and a new year! (redundant post edited)

iMacross4 UPDATES: 1. Macross Frontier a. Macross Frontier episode one Shinsen Subs You will need HJsplit to reintegrate the 3 files back into one avi. The video is best viewed with Videolan media player. ______ I have been slowing down with the subtitles due to technical difficulties with compositing software (combustion, digital fusion, after effects, vegas video, wax). I just cannot get this 4 part outer space scene to composite with a moving Jupiter background in a simple and straight forward manner, so I'll just include the zentraedi - armd scene as an extra feature. Once I finish up the subtitles, then the english dub version dvd will follow soon after.

I only saw a couple of satuday morning episodes of this anime and it looked pretty good, but I never found out what the story was about. **edited because I skimmed this thread too quickly, whoops!** I'll do a google search to find out more

Do not bother buying from Richie Bohach of www.richiesarmor.com 6 months and still waiting for completed Boba fett esb gauntlets and shin tools $240 US. July 5/07, original order was with mohair belt, but he sent the mohair belt with wet red dye and unfinished gauntlets and shin tools. I ruined my t-shirt and I still have small pink splotches in my bathroom linoleum. I shipped back all the items four months ago and he refunded for the belt. I had to email him every 2 months just to find out if he had forgotten my order. Two weeks ago, I emailed him to find out what's going on or ask for my money back and he said he had completed the items, but he just got married last month and that he would refund. Then a week and 1/2 go by and I email him again to cancel my refund and just ask to ship out my boba fett stuf. He says okay to ship out this monday and he would email me Monday with a tracking number. I emailed Wednesday to find out what's going on and he has yet to respond. The only good thing about him is that he did refund me for the poorly done mohair belt. And he eventually responded to my emails. Next week, if he does not respond, then I'm just going file a mail fraud or something on him.

I was thinking something along the lines of a "The story of Star Wars" and "the story of empire strikes back" fan edited movies by Movealong (faneditor at www.fanedit.org). Movealong used footage from star wars movie and the star wars album to form a type of slide show. Maybe the Macross radio dramas could be sync 'ed with SDF tv or dyrl footage?

Hello: So far, I cannot figure out how to use chroma key under vegas video to get Jupiter to show up behind the macross / zentraedi space battle. Would anybody know of a quick way of removing a outer space background to replace it with the planet Jupiter?. I tried Sony Vegas with chroma key, but I'm starting with a psx dyrl video that has a black outer space background that refuses to be recognized by the chroma key function and compositing just makes Jupiter as a background transparent and obscures the foreground zentraedi / macross battle. What I did do is screen capture a frame to jpeg, then use paint.net to paint out the background parts with a solid green colour, then used the "magic wand" to pick out the green parts, then inverted the picture, so I could copy and paste the zentraedi ship onto the jupiter background. What I would like to do is have a much easier way of doing this, since I would need to do this procedure over 600 times to get all the pictures to have Jupiter in the background. Basically, I would be reanimating every frame to include Jupiter in the background. What a hobby! Thanks for any suggestions!

If we could get an accurate translation of this radio show, then maybe somebody could post a mini macross movie using scenes from sdf tv as a kind of slide show with subtitles.

Macross DYRL extended/special edition dvd SETBACK: I have to retime all the subtitles for dyrl because my anime cartoon international dryl dvd is missing 1 minute of audio/video, so I could not match up Hurin's subtitles. I found a much better version of DRYL on macrossshare.blogspot.com . I was timing subtitles with dixland media subtitler up to the 59 minute mark on my anime cartoon international DYRL and found a gap in audio and video. Hurin's subtitles did not match the AC dryl video/audio, so I checked NLA dyrl and SManime/AniDB's dyrl movie to find the missing audio/video. NLA had spelling mistakes and AniDB's had 24 frames per second for the missing video/audio. I converted AniDB dyrl into NTSC frame rate, so I could just extract out that missing bit and plunk it into the womble mpeg video editing list. But, while the AniDB dyrl was converting, I was looking for alternative DRYL movies for a shortcut in editing. I found a raw gap-less dryl movie on the aforementioned macrosshare website, which has a lot better video/audio quality. But, the dyrl english subtitles on the macrosshare website still need to be retimed. If I plug in AniDB's missing segment into what I have so far, then movie would work, but not look as nice compared to retiming the subtitles with macrosshare's dyrl. After all the extra bits I included with Hurin's subtitles; such as animeigo song lyrics and minor subtitle extensions, I would like to retime all of the subtitles I have right now. So, I think I will have to change the completion date to mid January 2008. ________________________________________ I deleted the raw dyrl avi from imacross4 and currently uploading a new raw dyrl avi and corrrected flashback subtitles.

Has anybody figured out how these guys get the psx 1 and 2 movies and gameplay turned into movies for youtube? I just saw a 10 minute version of vfx on youtube that almost made sense. I know that there were a couple of video game movies on www.fanedit.org, such as SW: bounty hunter and 24. I'm just wondering if it's possible to make a coherent movie out of the macross games? Currently, I'm working at a dryl extended edition with extra footage from the 20th anniversary dvd psx dryl game footage and Flashback 2012 dvd. Then I would be doing a special english dub of DYRL (not Hikuro's). Then I think I would like to do an extended version of Macross Plus. I think about stuff like this, but I still have to do the the work. Thanks for any help.

Hello: I was just looking around the internet for some Macross related stuff. Then I found this website, Macross Share.blogspot.com . This website has just as much Macross related files as imacross4 if not more and in Spanish! I wonder if this website owner knows about Macross world?

Hello: I just received a notice from rapidshare.com about keeping my account at 20 gb maximum. Currently, I'm at 35 gb and I was planning to share the fan edit dyrl s through rapid share. So, I have to delete some macross stuff from the iMacross4 rapidshare account before Rapidshare automatically and randomly deletes macross files on imacross4. So, Macross 7, Macross 0 ANBU-aone and DYRL NLA video can be easily found on bittorrent websites. Then I'll see how much leeway that gives iMacross4 for uploading other macross stuff. "On November 10th, we will launch our storage revision program. Accounts that use more than 20 GB of storage will be marked as "XXL" accounts by our system. If any files associated with an "XXL" account have not been downloaded within the last 90 days ("inactive files"), those files will be deleted automatically. As soon as the account's storage is less than 20 GB, no further files will be deleted. Of course, no active files (i.e. files that have been downloaded at least once during the last 90 days) will be deleted. This means, we still offer unlimited storage for active files. Your account's current storage utilization is over 20 GB, which means your account will be marked as "XXL". Please check your account for files that you no longer need and remove them. This helps to avoid the deletion of files you would like to keep. You can check your current storage utilization at any time in the premium zone, right above the files list. Thank you for your attention. Best regards, RapidShare AG Management" ******************************************************** Okay, now I'm down to 19.89 gb, but that doesn't leave me room to upload anything to the imacross4 rapidshare account. In order to to get to 14-5 gb, I would have to delete Macross 20th or Macross Music or Macross games? ******************************* I'll delete a few more small junk files here and there, but I think for now that's it for deleting stuff. I'll post the fanedit dyrl s as a bittorrents.

iMacross4 Updates: 1. Macross Fan Edits As requested, Macross DYRL english audio file 16 parts, 100mb each, reintegrate with winrar software. You can watch a copy of dyrl on your computer with the sound muted and then run winamp to play the english audio, kind of like www.rifftrax.com . Enjoy! After the extended edition is finished, I will make the attempt to make a special dyrl dvd with english audio and commentary track. December/07 is my target date.

Here's what I have so far. I think in space, the lighting is hard and feathering is not really necessary. I used a different background planet picture and separately did each type of zentraedi ship with a shadow. That's it for now. I have dyrl sutitling to do. Thanks for helpful hints. boinger

Lots of good ideas, but I would need to spend some time learning photoshop. My intention was to use this picture to bridge the psx dyrl opening sequence to the opening blackout in the dyrl movie. Thanks! The zentraedi fleet was something I found on google images. It looks like someone scanned in the arii zentraedi box model art and took some screenshots of sdf tv. So, it's no wonder the perspective doesn't look quite right. Then I picked out a scifi screensaver that sort of looked like earth, pasted in the actual moon and copied over the extra moon and then used that is my working background. Thank you toboro for cleaning up the planet edge. So, I tried again and looked for a sdf macross tv screen shot of zentraedi warships with videolan player. I found an image of the zentraedi fleet in earth orbit in episode 4 and copied and pasted and then touched up a few edges with microsoft paint. The sun falls on the zentraedi ships at the right angle, so I'm thinking I might stick to this one; it might need a few more zentraedi ships.

Hello: I'm trying to paste together a picture with microsoft paint for a dvd project, but it's not quite the way I would like it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Feb. 02/08 (I will just edit this post once a week to show how far I have gotten along) Two dyrl dvds are in production: 1. extended dyrl (psx and flashback footage with hard encoded english subtitles) 2. english dub special edition (vhs english audio with song subtitles and optional dapdx english commentary with japanese audio and english Hurin dyrl subtitles.) ****************************************************** DYRL extended progress report: 1. DYRL remastered subtitles 120 of 120 minutes done 100% (Thanks to gray phantom, hurin, ali same, and mechamaniac) 2. Flashback 2012 subtitles redone 100% 3 DVD menu 100% 4. PSX part one file resubtitled for editing 100% 5. PSX part two file " " " 100% 6. PSX part three file " " " 100% 7. Edting in PSX footage 100% 8. Flashback segment at end of DYRL subtitled 100% 9. DVD video covers mini movie 100% 9. Final Editing 100% (It's hard to tell just now if I need to use different wipes for the extra footage or the audio is in synch.) Currently 7 1/2 hours = 17% encoded into mpeg ****I am going to re encode the dyrl extended mpeg into a 700 mb avi and upload to imacross4 for critiquing for improvement.***** I test fitted angel's paint part 1 and 2 within the dyrl extended movie. A dissolve or wipe might help to smooth the slightly different scenes for angel's paint part 1. The psx dyrl prebattle sequence is split. The zentraedi / armd attack part can be slotted into the saturn battle scenne with Misa edited out. Then the zentraedi fleet close up can be reversed and put in as a scene transition. I will be including the psx dryl scenes as unedited extras on the dvd. The second part of this psx clip with the destroyed boom guns can stay in the same place I have it in. I attempted to cobble together a zentraedi earth orbit picture to bridge the psx dyrl opening with the blackout opening of the dyrl movie. Then I added in a couple of titles for major scene changes. I think that's it for editing, now it's just a matter of keeping the video and audio synchronized after pasting everything together. A preview copy has been corrupted. I am having to redo a lot of edits. AVI video files have to be hard encoded with english subtitles with autogk software because womble editor does not support a subtitle function and so I would have to retime the subtitles yet again for the extended version of dyrl. Once I get to the dyrl final battle scene subtitle section, I will work on getting the dyrl song as the top subtitle and the characters talking as bottom subtitles. DYRL special edition english dub: 1. DYRL english dub audio file 100% (extracted from VHS, hiss reduction with Nero software and uploaded to iMacross4 rapidshare account, but not aligned to dvd video yet) 2. synchronizing with japanese audio 100% 3. Hurin's english subtitles retimed (see extended list) 4. DVD menu 90% 5. synchronizing DAP DX english commentary track 10% 6. Final editing 0% I'll have to see if I can do 3 different audio tracks on dvd lab pro. My main objective is doing an english dub dyrl preservation for people who would prefer to hear an english dub. I will put up the corrected Hurin dryl subtitles on iMacross4 as soon as I finish correcting the timing. Then you could easily put the english subtitles together with the macross share dryl avi with DVDflick software. Here's my version of the dyrl extended dvd cover. If anybody would like to submit dvd covers under fanworks for the dryl extended or special edition dvds, then we could have a contest. When I finish these dvds; we could submit a poll under fanworks for the best dvd cover. Whoever gets the most votes after a week would then get a copy of the extended or special edtion dyrl dvd mailed to him or her. What do you think? Send me a pm or post a response under fanworks thread. ******* iMacross4 has a few more macross pictures and paper models under macross miscellaneous. Homeworld dyrl patches and home brewed macross rpg are under macross games. Enjoy! ___________________________________

no extra Hummingbird songs on iMacross4. You might have to see if you can buy the music off of ebay japan. ********* DYRL extended update: 1. Almost figured out most of dvd menu with dvd lab pro 2 A. Main Menu has DRYL movie that you can enable audio and subtitles. I am still slowly working on the english subtitles. As well, I still need to receive the VHS english dub of dyrl to get the english audio. I'm not sure which software to match the dyrl .avi with english audio just yet. I might just include the original english dub as its own movie and have the extended dyrl as a separate movie and have two dyrl movies on the dvd. Especially, since the extended psx dyrl scenes do not have an english dub to them. B. Extra features menu: i. psx footage: 2 of 3 psx videos are subtitled, so I just have to figure out how to plunk them in the dyrl movie ii. flashback 2012 english subtitles; subtitles need fixing and retiming iii. dyrl trailers with english subitles from 20th anniversary I'm not sure whether to put angel's paint 1st version as ending to DYRL or angel's paint 2nd version (which has vf-4 and sdf2 colony ship). I put 1st version angle paints nonsubtitled with credits in the extra features menu PSX dyrl ARMD attack sequence sort of fits at just the start of the final battle, but I think I would need to use a video editing software that would help to add in extra music in the background. I would have to redo the subtitles for this video a little bit to better fit the scene, so if you understand Japanese, you would notice the scene would not quite make sense. Video Tools: 1. Nero recode: very crude video editor by cutting and pasting together dvd vob files into one dvd video 2. pgcdemux: convert dvd vob to mpv + ac3 sound for dvd lab, but then I end up losing the dvd subtitles because dvd lab pro cannot recognize .sup demuxed subtitles 3. divxland media subtitler 4. dvd lab pro 2: dvd menu and muxer for mpv + ac3 + subtitles. I can add vob files directly into dvd lab pro, but I cannot enable subtitles or audio through menu. Vob subtitles work, but I have to enable them by using videolan player's video settings. 5. dvd flick : convert avi to dvd vob 6. autogk : convert dvd vob to avi 7. subrip: rips dvd subtitles into a text file that then needs to be retimed 8. Womble avi video editor Does anyone know of a subtitle conversion software that can convert .sup subtitle files into .srt files? I tried to look on the internet for a couple of hours and I could not find anything. It would save me some time resubtitling, thanks! First 10 minutes of DYRL has been subtitled and I would like to redo the subtitles on flashback 2012. 3-4 minutes of subtitles a day. So, 6 weeks is my goal to get this dvd finished and ready for rapidshare upload.

I was just wondering if any one might have the Clash of the Bionoids VHS tape or an mp3 / wave audio file of the english dub? Thanks! boinger ********************** Found 2 on ebay. I just remembered, that Clash of the Bionoids edits out a few more graphic scenes. I know had a copy of macross dyrl english dub vhs, which had the full movie, but I didn't think of saving the audio at the time. ************************* Found it!! on amazon.com! I was thinking that just because Hikuro's dyrl dub has slowed down to a crawl. I was thinking that if everybody had a good listen to this bad english dub of dyrl then macrossworlders would be more willing to help Hikuro finish up his dyrl dub. I do have a wmv of Hikuro's english dub team's work on Macross zero episode one on iMacross4. Download the files [part A,B,C,D; which have two parts each] and reintegrate [by just mouse clicking on the first file] and have a listen. Send words of encouragement and or critique to Hikuro! Otherwise, I could attempt to recompile Hurin's dyrl subtitles, anime international dyrl, 2012 (subtitled), psx footage (20th anniversary) and the english dub into a nifty extended macross: dyrl edtion dvd. I was looking at www.fanedit.org for how to do this. I would much prefer getting a dvd of fx dyrl or bandai dyrl or even the upcoming hd dyrl. I'll go look and see if there's a bandai dyrl anywhere. ************************** I would better off waiting for the new dyrl dvd because of Hurin's previously stated interlacing issuse on the bandai dyrl dvd. So, I was reading the HD dyrl thread and it looks like the new remastered dyrl is a regular dvd to be released on Dec 21/07 . News to me! I know what I would like for Christmas.

Hello: I put up some stuff on ebay. Have a look! Thanks! Orguss 1/40 TakatokuMacross II Valkyrie modelsetc

iMacross 4 rapid share server extended to Oct 4/07

M7 music available on Macross Share website. Lots of stuff there. Remember to use winrar for .rar, .zip, or .ace files. The numbered files, .001, are to be downloaded in groups and reassembled with HJsplit software. You will need the latest K lite codec video/audio pack, which also includes media player classic. Downloading and installing the latest divx or xvid video codec will help with playing your videos. I also found that having the correct and latest video card driver and mother board graphics chipset driver made a real difference in getting .mkv matroska video files to play properly. boinger

iMacross4 UPDATES: 1. Macross 7 remastered series a. episode 1-16 VIP, mkv b. complete series and ova, unsubtitled on Macross Share website c. complete series and ova, subtitled, Central Anime on Macross Share website I also put a new version of vo and vo xp that includes patches and add ons. *** I am listening to all the macross music I have to hear if some of the files are corrupt. Under Macross game music, there sounds like two songs that are damaged. One song is listed as 67 minutes, but cuts out after 40 seconds and then a rock ballad that cuts out at 1 minute 40 seconds before the song finishes. I have to check if I have any non corrupt back up song file. I'm currently listening to Macross Zero soundtrack. Most likely, I'll repackage the music files in the next couple of weeks.

Macross Miscellaneous folder is corrected, sorted out and uploaded. Macross Games is fixed as well. I put Macross ps2 under Macross Games. I put Macross 20th under Miscellaneous Macross Video. I put a correct copy including missing page 7 of Macross Hobby Handbook under Macross Miscellaneous. A very nice mini dvd of Macross PSX game intro footage is under DYRL folder. I also put an unsubtitled dyrl avi video from anime cartoon dvd (bootleg of bootleg) with an untimed Hurin dryl subtitle file. As well, there is the unsubtitled flashback avi video with a mostly timed english subtitle file. Rather than upload my version of dyrl, you can make your own version of DYRL with free DVD Flick software. Dvd flick software turns video files into dvd files that you can burn to dvd disc with nero software. Dvd flick is found under DYRL, Mzero and video tools folder. 1. flashback and subtitle file 2. a. dyrl avi and hurin dyrl subtitle file with sub workstation software. ( You would have to put in the same amount of work as Hurin to get the subtitles to match up. ) b. NLA dyrl avi c. SManime dyrl avi 3. dyrl psx dvd files You would convert 1. and 2. into dvd files with dvd flick. Then take 1,2,3 dvd files with Nero Recode software to recompile into a dvd on your hardrive. Nero recode tends to move the smaller videos into their own subchapter instead of playing directly from one video to the next. So, use dvdshrink to reauthor the dvd videos into the order that you would like to watch them onto your dvd disc. You can also convert Hikuro's M zero episode 1 dubbed video files into a mini dvd with Dvd flick software. Currently, M7 1-15, 41-45 is available and the rest to be uploaded in the next 3-4 days. Each episode is 2-3 parts and needs HJsplit software to reintegrate. PM me if you find a file that isn't working. boinger

I repackaged and retested Macross Miscellaneous winrar batch to take out redundancies and checked for corrupt files. I am checking over Macross Games and found PSX Macross Plus game edition, DYRL and Macross 2036 need to be reuploaded. I have downloaded the missing Macross 7 episodes and double checked the M7 episodes' integrity, so it's just a matter of time and upload speed to get Macross 7 on iMacross 4. I am slowly working through and repackaging iMacross4 Macross files into smaller files. So, if anbody finds a corrupt file then I only have to replace a few files rather than a whole batch.

iMacross4 online. UPDATE: 1. Macross Miscellaneous winrar has 1 corrupt picture file, which brings up the winrar error for unpacking macross misc winrar file 10. So, I uploaded that picture separarately to the M Misc folder. All the rest of the files appear intact and complete when extracting. You can do a comparison by downloading the iMacross 4 server directory file. 2. Hobby handbook page 7 was missing from the original macross misc files. I did put page 7 with the Hikaro M 0 dub and extras winrar package. Now, I am going to upload Hobby handbook including page 7 to Macross Misc. 3. I was able to turn Hikaru's M 0 dub into dvd files with dvd flick software and will be uploading the M0 dub dvd within the next 3-4 days. The cut points between video a,b,c,d jump a little bit because that is how Hikaru cut each video to upload to YouTube. You can watch this M 0 dub episode 1 with Videolan software and burn to disc with Nero. 4. Macross VO, VOXP, Dosbox and Macross M3 dreamcast game are now available as separate downloads under Macross Games. 5. Macross 0 subbed episodes 1-5 now available as separate downloads. So, you can see I will probably repackage the Macross Misc folder eventually. 4. Now uploading is a raw video file of Flashback 2012 called Flashbkupdate.avi. I am also uploading the flashback subtitles separately to the DYRL folder, if you would like to subtitle Flashback to your satisfaction with dixland media subtitler or subtitle workstation. My version of flashback 2012 subbbed will be a part of DYRL extended. After years of maintaining the iMacross4 server as 4 different types of file servers, I find that I need to reorganize the files and check for redundancy in files. PM me if you find any missing or corrupt files, thanks! *********************** DYRL extended update: Subtitling is pretty time intensive work even for a 1/2 hour OVA Flashback 2012. 14 hours! Flash back 2012 now has english subtitles that are mostly synchronized, which is good enough for me. I burned a dual layer dvd version 1 of dyrl extended and it looks great! But, the anime cartoon DYRL has yahoo.com address as a part of the subtitles! In order to get rid of the yahoo.com in the subtitles, I turned the anime cartoon dyrl into an avi file with flaskmpeg xis without subtitles. Then I tried to use Hurin's perfect fx dyrl subtitles and slap them on with dix land media subtitle, but the timing was way off. So with subrip software, I ripped the subtitles from the anime cartoon dyrl to check for timing. The timing for the ripped anime cartoon dyrl was way off as well. Just like Hurin, I would have to go through the whole 2 hour movie to retime all the subtitles. Forget that! For version 2 of DYRL extended, I am turning NLA dyrl into dvd files with psx footage and flashback sub and then rediting with Nero recode into DYRL extended dual layer dvd for upload to iMacross4. If anybody else would like to spend the time getting Hurin's subtitles adjusted to a raw dyrl video file then I am going to upload the software to iMacross 4.
