It's here! Right now! Kinda snuck up on you eh?
TORRENT: http://damagedgoodz.net/torrents/mglna02.torrent
This episode features two changes, one permanent and one on a trial basis.
1) OP/ED lyrics have been turned off by default. They are now included in the second subtitle track (the one titled Lyrics+Dialogue) and will be from here on out. All you need to do is flip over to that track once at the beginning of the episode if you really want to see them. As before, there is also an unstyled subtitle track for you custom font junkies and those using that VLC crap.
2) We're trying out Vorbis audio. This change shouldn't really affect anyone since FFDshow has a vorbis audio decoder (which is what you have if you're using CCCP). If you don't have FFDshow, you can always install the decoder from http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/oggcodecs_0.71.0946.exe if your player doesn't already support it (just try playing the episode and see if it works, apparently lots of groups use vorbis so you should be set).
Enjoy! As usual, comments specific to this episode can go here, or feel free to start a new thread with discussion or something.

Since you did manage to find the right thread I deleted your extra post.
Carry on.
Domo Arigato Mr. JJS. We from leechers Inc. really appreciate your effort :)
Thanks for all your hard work again!
Ok guys...um...help?
I'm having playback issues with this batch.
I know, I'm probably not looking in the correct place but I feel I should post it anyway. I hope I'm not the only one with this issue.
So, I downloaded the entire Nanoha batch, seeding right now.
The problem comes when I try to play ANY file from the batch.
Most notably ep 1v2 and ep 13.
As soon as the video is about to appear....windows XP reboots.
Just like that. Every single time.
It used to work before, but I dont know wether that was before or after I reinstalled XP.
I'm using the latest CCCP, clean installed. Latest Nvidia drivers and I have an XFX GF6200. Athlon XP2800+, 512 RAM, XP Pro, yaddayaddayadda.
I can play other MKV's fine but these nanoha eps seem to screw up my system.
Anyone have an idea where to start troubleshooting?
Humm they work just fine for me, what was the last error listed aroud the time of the reboot on your event log? Also try downloading the Insurgent from : http://www.cccp-project.net/ run it and post for help in there fourms. They know best.
http://cccp.pastebin.ca/230784
Thats an excerpt from the beta Insurgent.
It SEEMS that the high sampling rate, possibly in combination with other factors, is making my soundcard(drivers) cry and die.
...hard.
I switched to another sounddevice(onboard) in Windows and I can play the file back fine.
what sound card were you useing? I know upto a week ago i had a SB Audgie 2ZS but i had to rma it. i dont recall haveing any problems back when i watched the oringal eps 1. I am useing on board now with out any porblems.
I was using a Terratec DMX Xfire 1024
I also tried reinstalling the drivers from their page(discont'd products) but to no avail.
I'm using the onboard chip that's integrated onto the Asus A7V600 mobo.
What I found WAS working with the Xfire, was forcing the FFdshow audio filter to resample anything above 48000 Hz down to 48000.
One of the CCCP guys recommended it. It works.
I switched back to the onboard card for now, I can use the Xfire at any time though.
Whoever's encoding might want to take these thigns into consideration. Or not, it's up to you :)
Been watching some of the eps of your version of Lyrical Nanoha and other than a few typos, such as in ep 6 where jewel seed XIX is subbed as XIV, you've done a pretty good job. Of course, some of the mis translations most people won't catch, but that one was obvious (since it did show XIX on the jewel right before Fate said the number). Anyways, good work so far ^_^ (personally I don't mind styled subs, but as long as you can read them I'm fine).
That rat thing looks like a cock!@
(This post is very long, sorry)
Almost there...
It's currently re-encoding and then needs to go through one more round of QC. Like an EA Games product it's missing some previously announced features, but here's an abbreviated list of what you CAN expect to find in the release:
Multiple subtitle tracks: Related to the above in that there are TWO styled subtitle tracks. For the first episode the default track will contain both the OP/ED lyrics and the regular show dialogue. The second track will contain only the show dialogue for those that like things clean (like me). Starting with episode 02, the dialogue only track will become default so if you want to see the OP/ED lyrics, you'll need to switch to the second track in that case. ALSO there is an unstyled SRT subtitle track for you jerks trying to watch quality releases with the crap known as VLC. Please consider the CCCP http://www.cccp-project.net/ for playing back any anime in general. You'll be amazed how much more awesome styled subs look than the crap you see now in VLC (e.g. the lines of text layered atop one another with no regard for position tags). If you don't like CCCP you can achieve similar results with:
You linux folk would probably like MPlayer as I think with the very latest version they introduced a significant improvement to styled subtitle decoding.
For goodness sake! I've been looking forward to this... I'm so excited... thank you! THANK YOU!
AWESOME
I wish more groups were this dedicated and released stuff in this way.
For those wondering exactly what's different between DVD and TV versions, I just found this on 4chan:
http://lolipuni.com/list/review/nanohaAs/nanohaAs_DVD1.html
The DVD images are on the left and TV on the right. The link contains comparisons of all the DVD volumes and may contain spoiler scenes for those who haven't seen the series yet.
hmm the _ mind games is a serious anime cliche that can sometimes really really annoy me attack dammit get it over with i say talk talk talk. being dedicated to a show is great the product that is turned out in the end is something that we as watchers always strive to find and enjoy. also this isnt a anime that is done over and over by 10 groups all changing a little bit so they can call it there own after 1 poor slub does allt he work. so we know here they will only be able to make theres less watchable. "smile"
The Olin
Nice and looking forward to it =).
About the "Rakete" thingy... well, you might want to know that in german there's only one word for missiles and rockets in the first place, so neither "rocket" nor "missile" would be wrong... well, if you don't wanna loose yerself in discussions about the targetting system that is, but that's really only possible in english ^_^, trust me i am german ;).
Oh... and to talk about the pros of unstyled subs: They're much easier to change to your personal tastes in matters of size and especially colour :P. Seen so many ill chosen white subs already...
Anyways, keep up the nice work b^_^b.
Awesome. Just. Awesome
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea, as mentioned above CCCP is really the only thing you should watch subbed anime with, it's much easier with subtitles and audio tracks. Also, with certain players the subtitles tend to run off of the screen cause they use their own font rather than the styled font in the coding. But yea, CCCP ftw!
Come on, you can do better than that. =)
With 132 kb/s for audio, you can retain much more than just 16 kHz.
Please give Vorbis a try.
---
(CCCP is redundant. ffdshow + Media Player Classic for the win!)
>>13
You're far too obsessed with upper frequency limits. The goal of these codecs is to throw out the information you wouldn't be able to pick up anyway.
Here's the spectromagnoarticulatorized analysis of ep 2 encoded with vorbis at Q=4 (same filesize as current AAC). If that extra 1.5khz of nearly inaudible fuzz is that important, I don't mind switching the drop-down box to vorbis instead of aac (actually I saved 3mb at Q=4). We're getting down to squeezing blood from a turnip here.
For the record, CCCP = ffdshow + mediaplayer classic (or zoomplayer). There is no redundancy there, it's just a convenient package of the two (and VSFilter which you really should be using instead of the version built into MPC, and Haali Media Splitter which you REALLY should be using instead of MPC's built in mkv splitter).
guys!
thanks for releasing Nanoha DVD!
now i have a problem.
i cant seem to see the subtitles for the eps.
using MPC with ffdshow.
help?
thx
oh...finally oAo
thanks dude!
just wondering but why is raging heart translated as Rasing Heart.
Just a quick note to say thanks on a great job putting these out...'tis appreciated.
Thank you for releasing Nanoha DVD version. It is much apreciated by me and my friends who enjoy the show. You did a great job and I can't wait to see your version of Nanoha A's (if you decide to do it). Also, I had no intention of posting this on box without your permision, but does your first comment mean that you will be releasing a batch torrent with reedited versions of the first episodes?
A huge thanks to everyone who made the release possible. Greatly appreciated. :)
Thanks a lot JJS!
Thank you for releaseing Season 1 on dvd are you gona release season 2 also?
thx for the loli... err on nanoha
can't w8 for A's
Haven't seen the releases yet, waiting for the batch, but I've heard good things ^-^
is AWESOME.
But seriously, this is where the majority of the season's budget went and it shows. I'm actually going to have someone QC this for me this afternoon since it's kind of an important episode. Hopefully all will be fine and I'll post the torrent here tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
HEAVEN OR HELL, LET'S ROCK!
Well, I got bored so I took care of episode 12 this afternoon. Looks like we're on track for a double release (HOLY CRAP!). Hopefully no one is panicking about the delay since the last release.
Torrent hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday afternoon).
Wow! Looking forward to it!!!
Is there anyone that can seed this episode now?
Don't fuck up. I'm watching you. If you care about my input though, I'd rather you keep the karaoke out. Just a suggestion :P
I dont know about the resolution. Are the DVDs really 640x480? I would keep the resolution 1:1 and Matroska supports this neat anamorphic feature too, if its required.
Different colors for each character sound good, but different fonts? I dont know.
Im no encoding freak but I'm a fan of the idea, if you already have the DVDs, do the best possible Rip. With coreavc and the newer ffdshow builds even h.264 HD material can be played on weaker machines so I expect the best possible encode ;)
And I dont really care about Karoke as long as it's not annoying.
Good luck with the new project. Im anticipating it :)
Fonts? What fonts? VLC doesn't do fonts.
JJS, what I wanted to tell you on IRC was that I have a few fonts that are tech/computerish. I can send you some HTML previews of the packages, or I can send you the entire collections. They aren't big, under 2MB each. Contact me on IRC.
In case it might help out, the fonts that the Intelligent devices talk in are Lucida Console, in the fansubbing of Triad's Nanoha and Nanoha A's.
At least, I'm pretty sure that it is.
I've seen 720x480 (h.264) fansubbed animes and watched them on my monitor (1280x1024). There isn't a problem seeing them in their original resolution on a monitor whose aspect ratio is 4:3. It's like watching widescreen DVDs with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. However, the only people benefitting from widescreen fansubbed animes are those with widescreen monitors though.
I wish I had a widescreen monitor. T_T
But either way will work.
IS FINISHED
Torrent will be posted tomorrow morning if I can find the time at work to remote desktop in and start it. Otherwise in the late afternoon. The link will be posted in this thread the moment it's up (although most of you will have found it via Tokyotosho or Baka-updates).
Feel free to discuss something in this thread or start a new one if you like.

PLEASE fix your client. I assure you that you can't possibly have a full copy of the file so stop pretending to be a seed :/
can someone seed episode 01-04? not getting enough seeds to finish it :D thanks
here is a pic of the sub error in episode five, happens around 11:50 I think.
