It doesn't support .ass either I think.

Yeah, forgot to add that too, you can convert the .ass to .ttxt (.ass -> .srt, and then .srt -> .ttxt) and mux that into the .mp4 container to get styled subs, although the original .ass styling is lost in this conversion and you have to re-do it afterwards.

Thanks for the replies to my mkv question. Of course all that power and flexibility and coolness comes at a price in what it will demand of your hardware. Of course that's only really a problem for those of us who've had to make do with the same laptop for too many years. It looks good for replacing that machine in 4-5 months, especially as I've just made a major stab at some entertainment savings :) . Still working on the copying of stuff from the usb drive I'll reformat as fat32 and use as my video library hooked up to the DVD player.

--- Quote ---1080p offers no noticeable change in quality but makes the file size disgustingly massive. 26 Episodes of Clannad was 23GB. The same 26 in 720p was 13GB. Do I really want to DL 10GB more?

I don't know about your eyes but I like to watch my anime on my desktop PC and on my TV and I find 1080 noticeably better quality than 720. With 1TB hard drives costing AU$100 that 10GB more of download is costing me a MASSIVE $1 worth of storage space! I’m happy to use that much bandwidth/storage to have a nicer viewing experience.
And if you are watching Clanned on an old laptop where 1080 is not any better than 720 no one is forcing you to get the large version. This site has the smaller copy just as readily available, you can even get the 480 version just as simply and save that $1 of hard drive space.
I find it dumb that you are using words like fad, ridiculous and disgusting to describe a resolution that no one is forcing you to use and provides noticeable benefits to people who do like it.

Please show me where I used the words Fad or Ridiculous. Obviously, HD space is not an issue. In Canada, for 60$ a month gets me 60gb bandwidth so that 10gbs is 1/6 of my allowance. I'm commenting on the quality difference from my iMac, which has a resolution of 2560x1440. If you are sitting a reasonable distance away you cannot see the difference at all. I'm not compaining that anyone is forcing me, but am simply refuting your argument now.

The lighting difference is because I paused slightly after.

For on a budgest something like the popcorn hour A200 is $179 and usually free shipping from amazon, and it will play almost any anime and now ASS/SSA subs are looking really nice on it except for karaoke.
