Oihan Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Don't we have any members with a few gigs of server space, & some extra bandwidth, that can put up a ready to burn file somewhere? What kind of file are you talking about? Quote
Keith Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 A ready to burn whatever DVD's are encoded to file. Quote
Oihan Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 A ready to burn whatever DVD's are encoded to file. I'm guessing you're talking about .ISO/.IMG files...or something similar. Looking for a subtitled version though, right? Well, I've been trying to work on some subs for the HD Remaster with not much luck; moreover my computer is down for the moment so I'm unable to finish any of my projects. I wouldn't mind hosting a torrent though if I had the right files and such...it'd be the best I could do when my PC is back up and running. Anyway.... Quote
The Shade Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Just out of curiosity, does anyone have just the retimed subtitled file? Since Hurin has stated he is not going to retime it himself , I would like to use Hurin's old DVD Lab Pro file and substitute the sub file he had in there for the retimed one. P.S. Hurin, if you ever do decide to retime your subs (and they are your subs, as far as I'm concerned), will you also do a more elaborate DVD Lab Pro file. I liked the DVD intro you did, and was wondering if you could ever outdo yourself. Quote
Duke Togo Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Somebody did, because its used in the mvk release. Quote

I liked the DVD intro you did, and was wondering if you could ever outdo yourself. I actually made a version of the R2 DVD with full-motion chapter selection menus w/ full music. But since I can't distribute the video snippets and audio that are used in the menus, there wasn't much point in posting it online. I showed it at MWCon a few years back. Best, H Edit: Oh, and remember, I didn't do the actual translating. I worked from a timed english script. Granted, I did change a lot and made the english less stilted and awkward (IMHO). The original script was pretty bad and it was largely reworked. But I didn't start from scratch! Quote
The Shade Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Since nobody has said they have the subtitle file, does that mean I have to download a copy of the 1.4 gb torrent just to have the sub file? P.S. Hurin, that project would have rocked. Quote

Shaorin Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) it's about time! now they just need to release a U.S. edition. all i have is the crummy BEST VIDEO VHS release that was released a few years back. a two hour movie recorded in SLP on a 30-minute real estate tape with that goshawful TOHO dub!! for instance, when hikaru takes minmay on that joyride around saturn: ..."FOCKER: hey, hikaruuu! HIKARU: A MAN!!!!" SHAORIN: WHAT THE HELL!?!? anyway, at least the TOHO dub is good for a few laughs, and the tape is reasonally bearable on my 1988 mitsubishi HS-U70 S-VHS VCR.

Essentially took the raw translation and corrected the syntax and terms to make it better understood by English audiences. Quote
The Shade Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Finally been able to do a DVD using the retimed subs (what with an anime convention last weekend, a god-daughter's birthday, not to mention the everyday routine with my wife & 4 month old daughter, who can find time to do anything else?) It looks good, but I found that when I encoded those subs on DVD Lab Pro, the best results I got was by introducing a half second delay to the subs. Before that, the subs would appear before the characters even started talking. This way, they appear just as they are talking, or a fraction of a second after (just as they should). I still appeal to Hurin's charitable good nature, please retime the subs yourself, and make a new DVD Lab Pro file with a new & improved DVD intro. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 OK, hey, I actually have the VOB & IFO release now, and find I am quite clueless when it comes to adding subtitles to a pre-existsing DVD. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 Holy cow, you guys weren't kidding about the grain. Quote
Cypher Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) I don't mean to butt-in and hijack here but, has anybody been able to score this (3-disc edition) from anywhere since Bandai yanked it? I know you can still get the single disc version from places like YesAsia, etc. I had it on order from Amazon US, since the day they offered it, initially for $140. Then it steadily rose over the following weeks to $200. Then I got an email from them saying they wouldn't be getting it and they cancelled my order. Lo and behold, a few weeks later it's back on their site for $200, but not available. I think they just weren't willing to commit to the original price, their guarantee not withstanding. What's the latest? Edited March 16, 2008 by Cypher Quote
Shawn Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Picked up mine from Yahoo Japan auctions about month ago (used Celga.com for the transaction) There a lot of them there-I only paid 9000 yen and it was still sealed. Yahoo Japan Macross Auctions Shawn Quote
Cypher Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Thank you! I may do what I should have done in the first place and beg someone I know in Osaka to nab one for me. Glad to know they are still around. I couldn't care less about the screwed up pages or whatever. Quote

Glad to know they are still around. I couldn't care less about the screwed up pages or whatever. try "rinkya.com" they are a translation/agent service for yahoo japan that enables anyone in the world to bid on yahoo japan's items.

Cypher Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I got a hold of my contact in Osaka and he's on the lookout for me. I'm waiting to see if he comes through before putting yours or Shawn's ideas into motion. Thanks for the additional suggestion! I've waited this long - if I have to wait a bit to find out I have to go it alone, using what you guys have armed me with, then my odds will certainly increase. Always better to have backup plans.

Kamion Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) http://rapidshare.com/files/97369407/SRT.srt.html I extracted the file from the MKV and converted to a dvd compatible format, hope this helps.

Shaorin Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) What is a VHS VCR? it is a VHS (VictorHelicalSystem/VideoHomeSystem) VCR. (VideoCassetteRecorder) VHS video technology was invented by JVC in 1976. it and Laserdisc were the dominant home video technologies until they were supplanted by DVD in the early 2000s. some say that VHS stands for "victor helical system" (JVC is known as "victor" in japan, and "helical" refers to the helical scanning method in which the video heads write the video information onto the magnetic video tape, which is what allows long recording times on relatively short tape) however, most say VHS stands for "video home system" personally, i believe the former is correct. anyway, i hope this answers your question.

Neova Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Anybody know if there will be a second or third batch of these? Seems Amazon and CDJapan is fully sold out and none of those local Amazon Japan affilitiates will ship outside of Japan! Quote
stray Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I noticed Amazon US is still taking orders on the memorial box version and oddly dropped the price from the $200.49 they were asking to $179.99. Of course, the question being... will I ever actually get it? Has anyone actually gotten this from Amazon? Quote
skull_leader Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I could watch the 2002 enhanced version for free but I want to see this bad ass HD version I got this 57" projection HD tv it is awsome to watch anime also there are downloadable eng/span subs can they be made to work with a DVD with a special editing or somthing The cheapest price I could get was $65.00 shipped 1 disk no artbook or the cover is the same comes in a clear box its got the same quality too. I hate Harmony Gold its all thier fault this never came over to the states Quote

Mercurial Morpheus Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 What is a VHS VCR? Everytime someone cracks this joke, a little part of me dies inside. Holy cow, you guys weren't kidding about the grain. I've been meaning to say that this post made my day back when I first read it. Quote
Hikuro Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 I found an online release, I think alot of the grain was removed, it wasn't as bad as I had thought. My first reactio nwhen I watched this, "WTF? There's a baseball field by the concert hall?" Quote
miriya Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Cant believe that I missed this thread for so long. And of course it was a joke but Shaorin's post is great! Quote

My first reactio nwhen I watched this, "WTF? There's a baseball field by the concert hall?" It wasn't the one at AnimeSuki, right? That one used destructive grain removal (for example, the delicate pattern on Minmay's blanket is totally gone). Quote
Hikuro Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Beats me if it was from AnimeSuki or not, it included the movie and the booklet and that's it. From the looks of it the fold patterns on her blanket are visible. Quote
stray Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Was cruising amazon.co.jp today and... it looks like the DYRL limited edition remaster is back in stock?! Don't know if there was another print, but I figured I'd order it up anyway. Before shipping it came to 8330 yen... http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000VPOV36 Quote
