Hikuro

Nah no worries on that, It renders pretty quick since it's just audio that it'll mix for me right now, and after that I shut it down, I do that too all programs.

0_o christ that's cheap.........FRY's is carrying them now but for 99.99 each, doesn't matter which you want.

No kidding, sometimes I forget to come by here from time to time to see what's up. But yeah I sadly only got the first Episode released, and I'm having issues with Episode 2 cause so many of the cast members are slacking off with personal issues...I should of had episode 3 released by now, and Episode 4 is the making......the original Goal was too complete Zero before I started DYRL......oh well. Thanks, I should have another trailer up hopefully within the next few weeks or so. Misa's voice will sound more commanding as the movie progresses, I may have her redo that area of the film where she chews Hikaru's ass off on the bridge to sound more powerful. And thank you again for the comments on Hikaru's voice, I really enjoy playing him he's one favorite character in any anime series I've ever watched, he's always number one.

Interesting there. I'll have to check that out if I manage to get enough money in time for the wii. Which I have doubts.....since some draw backs popped up recently.

Wow this was rather interesting, I took each seperate mixed portion (since I do them in sets) and placed them in Adobe, so far there are 6 sets of Audio files inserted.......each one looked to be right when it came to timing. So I went ahead and rendered the audio and placed it in the clean video and wham! it all came together brilliantly....I think for now on I'll use Adobe for some video stuff and all my audio combining needs so I don't loose frame rates from all the rendering of each set. This turned out really well for my first night of experimentations.

I got the program lastnight, looking it over and seeing what I can do with it, it looks pretty hard with all the sections I can use and what not.....but because of the loss of frame rates on WMV rendering, I'm going to be doing seperate audio files and seeing if I can put those on and the original Raw video on Adobe and see how that looks. I got lots of time to play around with it since it's my weekend.

Well I remix the entire audio from scratch, I mute the original track then I place in new SFX's as close to the originals as possible. Some of the ones you hear in this dub come from 5 different animes like Gundam, Tekkaman, Macross TV, Macross 7 and DYRL itself. I'm currently in the process of getting Adobe Premier cause apparently that's the best for video editing.

Cheap, however clever and affective.

Yeah I'm still kicking myself in the ass for selling my PS2......

Well the movies are now mixed via Windows Movie Maker and Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (which I'm using like crazy now) however I'm noticing a problem with WMM. See, after so many rendering jobs the video quality starts to get crappy, so when I finish all the mixing I make a pure audio file and I mute the original sound off the Master copy and place the new audio into it making it a superior professional like dub. However for some reason, when I do this (it started after M0) the audio would lag behind the original master by 3 or 4 seconds....usually I fix this problem by waiting till a faded cut scene and then cut the audio and reinsert it....but that's not working anymore. I checked with DYRL putting in the audio with the master copy of Chapters 1-5.....and the audio is lagging behind by nearly 5 seconds....I think WMM is killing a few frames at a time and thus screwing up the finished product. ============================================== Now about how I do manage to get my stuff on to DVD.... Because I use WMM and it creates a WMV file, most DVD burning programs reject it. So I use Virtual Dub to go ahead and convert the WMV to DIVX at the highest setting which sometimes a 30 minute project will turn into like a gig file. Then I use VSO to DVD to turn the AVI formated movie into a VSO. Following that I use InterVideo DVD, divide the movie into chapters, giving it an animated menu title and burn at the lowest setting to keep it as high of quality as possible. When I'm done I have a professional looking DVD that not even ADV could try and make. So far the only DVD I've made successfully would be the first Episode of Macross Zero which is still regarded as my top dubbing abilities......however I seem to have more popular hits on Gundam Seed Astray which should be well over 3,000 hits on Youtube.com And within the next week or two I'll have Yu-Gi-Oh! Series 0 the movie completed which I tried to mix to the best of my abilities from scratch.....bout 3% of the original audio was used, the rest I had to scrounge up to use. Right now DYRL is probably going to be the toughest dub I'm ever going to face with Macross Zero on hold......I got alot of characters to fill in, and I got too hunt down alot of SFX's and properly mix them in. I've got a cast of atleast 12 people right now taking part making this the biggest cast I've had thus far.

My chances are slim to none unless I get about 8-9 hours in the next two days to secure just enough cash to get the Wii...

Well the Macross Zero...In English thread is gone, I think it went poof when the site got hacked couple months back. In continueing traditions here I'm makin a thread here dedicated to the progress of DYRL in English. I've actually been approached by many fans of the series and movie asking if I would do it, and it's really been in the works for many years, but I'm finally getting to it. So far I have a 90% cast up even down to the extras, I'm also recruiting new cast members for important roles such as Max Jenius and Hayao Kahazaki. TEASER TRAILERThis would be a slightly edited Teaser Trailer which I remixed into English featuring myself as Ichijo Hikaru, and Maria Vu (Aries in M0) as Lynn Minmay. And for your viewing pleasure a small sample clip of how the movie is sounding thus far. MACROSS DYRL DEMO Ichijo Hikaru by myself, and Allison Rose (Sara Gnome) as Hayase Misa. I'm using Windows Movie Maker and Cool Edit Pro to mix the movie together and adding nifty lil vocal effects. So watcha guys think thus far for a fandub piece?

Takara/Tomy will be releasing prototype pictures Megatron soon, but it appears it's confirmed, Megatron will be a gun. Now what kind of gun or how "realistic" this gun will appear is up in the air.....

I heard the news this morning bout Megatron getting the MP treatment finally......however it seems no one has ANY details on what Megatron will appear as. Unfortunantly because of US Laws and customes, if Megatron was given his G1 gun variation back, it wont be allowed in the US unless they make changes to it's appearance like adding in an unremoveable yellow or orange cap and crappy colors like Classics Megatron. Anything to show it's not even close to a real gun. I really miss the old days where I could go to a toy store buy a lil machine gun and the only thing to distinguish it from another was the orange cap. However, if he was given his G2 Tank form, it would be easily passed thru customes.

oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Viper helmet, that's a must have.

lol that would be funny actually, retool the fast packs and maybe a bit of the VF-1 itself and wham, you got Jetfire. Shoji would be like "Meh".

got my Starscream today <<<wasn't expecting it this fast either since Tam just shipped it. I'm actually having some issues with the back panel connecting to the under size of his nose cone something abstructing the back panel to angel just right and I think it's between the fuselage and the back panel......I dunno. But I had to pop his head off just so I could transform him cause of the same issue there's that piece that just gets in the damn way. Other then that he seems simple to transform, just gotta mess around a bit. No heavy QC issues that I can notice. Paint is okay, there's just a small smudge of white paint in one spot, otherwise he's pretty nifty.

During your first battle with her you just need to stay in Fighter mode...no use getting into the other modes unless you want her to shoot ya. I fire atleast 3 rounds of missiles at her and one set of flares and barrel roll for a lil bit. Wait until your missiles are reloaded then release all you got and a flare with a lil gunpod. You just keep that up and she's as good as dead, I had it to the point she couldn't hit, until I started getting reckless and doing battroid combat with her.

Hey Joseph you don't mind if I use this for the boxset version of my Macross Zero fandub project do you?

All my fandubs of Macross and Gundam and crap are still up.

I dunno which one I was watching where the japanese guy from the future shows up and the cheerleader rams the qb's car into a wall.....but that was fun. It was my first episode.

I now have all of the Wave 1 Classics. Picked up megatron today at FRY's......he's a diffenet Shellformer but in a nifty way. One of the biggest gripes of it is that you can't turn his fists so you gotta keep his arm sidewayz so the cannon doesn't become a problem. His overly large "wings" are a waste, I wish there was something you could do to them so they wouldn't be an issue, if you fold them all the way back he looses his balance from the heavy plastic. His head is a great likeness to the G1, along with alot of his body sculpt. But I think alot more effort could of been put into his design, but oh well I really can't complain since I now have a Megatron/Prime stand off for display. And they're the same scale for once so it's even better. Couldn't really do that with Cybertron megatron and Prime. I'd have to rank the ones I enjoyed the most as this 1) Optimus Prime 2) Bumble Bee 3) Starscream 4) Hot Rod 5) Megatron 6) Astrotrain Can't wait for the future releases.

I'll try to becareful with mine I don't want a repeat with what happened to my Garland. Mine should arrive on Monday or tuesday.

Wait wait..........so lets see....you traded in your gamecube....all the games for it, your PS2, all the games for that.......just for 1 unit, 3 games, 3 remotes and nunchucks and a 512 card...............I dunno if I'd call that a good deal honestly.....well I wouldn't for me and what I paid for my stuff back then. It took me 1 PSP, all the games, a GBA, 90% of those games, all my accessories, and 10 DVD's to get 280 bucks.......I thought "Crap I spent 3 times that amount on these brand new.............damn what a jip" That's why I'll probably NEVER trade anything off to Gamestop ever again.......most of the DVD's I have I'd only get 1-5 dollars cause they're box sets....

Closest TRU are both 40 miles away from me north and south....and both do really borely in sales......If I don't see anything from Game Crazy and FRY's, I'll go there as a last resort.
