The various Macross Frontier episode threads contain a lot of tips 'n tricks for playing all the released RAW's and subs, but every time a new episode is released, the same questions pop up from members that are having troubles playing the files. Which is why I started this thread, to provide a place where members can get help to enjoy anime.
So, What's your setup for watching anime?
I used to use VLC media player for all my media files but it soesn't seem to like the hi-rez Gattai subs very much, so I switched to Windows Media Player 11 and installed the FFDshow and Haali media splitter decoders to play MKV files. How to install/settings. Now, I can even use my media center to watch the show on my tv. After installing these you should be able to play the 1280x720 h264 files without any trouble, but...where's the subs? In order to actually see the subs on screen, you'll need to activate them from the FFDshow system tray icon that shows up when you open the mkv file in WMP. Just click the little red FFv icon with the right mouse button and check the "subtitles" box.
So, what do you use to watch Frontier and other anime? post your favorite setup and help your fellow MW'ers out!
