Kurokami The Animation (re formatted subs)

[steelbaz]

I know there are two version of Kurokami season 1&2 subbed (Atasa & Nuke-Bandai subs) but, they are the worst subs i've seen. The subs need to be reformatted badly, they are way to large, and aren't even in the picture frame! One of the few times, if not the only time, i've seen subs under the actual movie frame. I searched multiple sights already and the subs are all crappy. I have no idea why they'd be so large and outside of the actual picture. Not to mention the Atasa subs aren't the best translation to begin with.

The Bandai translation is good but, the format is awful... I would be very grateful if there was a good version out there or if someone could upload one.

If there are any links of good versions I missed i'd appreciate em, but I have searched pretty thoroughly.

Are you sure you're playing them correctly? I've played .mkv files with VLC before and they'd fuck up the subs badly.

AniDB says there's a group called AllOfThem that have completed translating it. See for yourself if the translation is any better.

They are passable in VLC but watching them on my HDTV or SDTV and there absolute garbage. I have several burning programs, ConvertX, Xillisoft Pro, WDM, but the subs are garbage once burned.

The resolution in WMP is better than VLC by the way. Sadly the audio and options are lesser in WMP. KM Player is kinda cool too but, I digress.

the release is fine - the issue is your conversion software.

If distance isn't a problem, I'd recommend just using cables, it'll cost you a lot less, both time and DVD~wise.

However, there should be plenty of help here if you're bent.

Am stalled somewhere around ep15 of Kurokami, none the less i've watched Nuke-Bandai up to there....and it seems solid to me.

To you, but i'm not thrilled with it. Nowhere near Menclave's or others but whatever, I wont die if this is as good as it gets.

I'm tracking down the AoT subs now but they're scattered... Thanks for the helpful tip!
On the plus side, the enormous 18 gig Raws are great for AMV's, so that's a win. Stupid Sony Vegas needs to start support .mkvs.

[AceD]

Urghh...then show an example please.



Your setup must be borked because i can't find a single example of what you speak of.

From the sounds of it you have burnt to a disc and as usual the 90% of fansubs that don't actually meet the requirements for viewing on external devices. I think there is a link someone floating around that posts to something proving that they all suck. I can't remember where is it.

Long story shot, most of subs will not work like that as they don't attempt to make a release for TVs/DVD players etc. If they did then padding would put subs a fair way off the bottom.

As you can see from AceD's screenshot there is NOTHING wrong with it except a lack of padding which will result in the subs being out of frame when burning to DVD etc.

Perhaps you mean this link?

Though it's strange, the subs in AceD's screenshots don't seem to be that low. You could try remuxing the .mkvs to make the vertical margins at least 5% of the vertical resolution (20 for 400p, 24 for 480p, 29 for 576p, 36 for 720p, 54 for 1080p), and then re-encode the files to hardsub them. That should ensure that "what you see is what you get" after burning and conversion.

Ah good replies thanks for those. Although I haven't had the problem with other fans subs when burnt to DVD. Highschool of the Dead when it as first dropping etc, good to know.
