DVDISO or 1080p Blueray rip video file?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Zalis116:
Neither; in the absence of actual retail discs, I prefer DVD-rips or sometimes Blu-Ray rips downscaled to DVD-ish resolutions. PVs are not much different from trailers or commercials, commentaries are mainly VAs chattering about random stuff, other live-action extras tend to be creepy otaku stuff, and worthwhile extras like animated ecchi omakes tend to get released through the normal channels. I guess production staff / creator interviews could be worth watching, but I wouldn't waste a bunch of extra space/bandwidth DLing isos/bdmvs (which do sometimes appear on nyaa/ADC) just to get them.

megido-rev.M:
DVD images are way too much.

Fan interest generally requires subbing, and you can't really get that with a Japanese blu-ray iso. There's also the matter of distributing the things. Who wants to distribute 5-7 blu-rays for a 13 episode show when you can fit the entire thing on a single one by encoding it?

Tenshi of Coalgirls did remuxes of a couple episodes; a 12 episode run was 73gb, over 50% larger than his already gigantic and likely placebo bit-rate encoded 1080p release. He didn't even complete the show, probably because interest in 6gb episodes is terribly low.

I usually get 720p BD rips. Don't really care about the extras unless they're additional content. Don't need promo videos or commentary (which I can't understand by itself, and probably won't care about should I ever know enough to.)


--- Quote ---On a more personal note, which groups have releases which contain the "extras" in a non DVDISO format?

ANE seems to for their releases. But they haven't done anything since mid-last year. Coalgirls occasionally includes a few things (Nisenomongatari has xdelta for commentary, Denpa Onna has BD menus encoded.) tlacatlc6 was rather through about extras with his releases, but he looks to have disappeared around last August.

As a point of curiosity, do you watch everything on US BD releases, for any and every show that you watch, rent or buy? If not, why would you expect to see that treatment for fansubbed anime?

It's the internet. I expect to be able to find most things on here. I do try to get the highest quality movies for my film collection, though I agree not all of them are worth it.

I admit I hadn't considered the trouble that comes with distributing Blueray isos.

Perhaps the difference in my tastes are because I'm Japanese. I can understand the audio commentaries, I'm a fan of several voice actors and actively listen to their radios and other events, and the live action shots such as "this anime scene was based on this real life place" are of places I can actually go to in real life.
