If tracker/torrent should be down again :)

If you are having perfomance issues playing back these files, most likely due to a slower CPU, and are running windows then I would suggest using CoreAVC. www.coreavc.com
Please note this is a commercial product ($10.00 for standard edition). It is far superior in efficiency to other h264 codec/filters. I myself use it. (No this is not an advertisement). You can read a lot about CoreAVCs early developement at the doom9 forums.

If you have a slower system, CoreAVC is by far the best (And cheapest) way to enable h264 playback.

i am having some problem with playing the first episode of nanoha.
The video can be played just fine, but for some reasons, the sound is all screwed up as in all the characters voice, the music have weird tones etc.. =(
My come is quite decent 1.8 ghz duo core, and i am using k-lite codec to play the file. All other files works just fine.. anyone has this problem ??? and how can i fix it.
Thanks in advance

on the subject of video issues, has anyone who had problems with episodes 1-4 tried 5 and later and found it better? since episode 5, the encoder was limited to main profile h264 which should be a bit easier on the cpu. if so, i'll make v2's of those first ones for the batch which will be out after the season is finished.

the poor fella: k-lite isn't a codec, it is a codec pack, which is a very bad idea. You should only install codecs as needed, or use something like CCCP, which is well tested, installs/uninstalls cleanly and provides easy control over the filters used.

try using a different AAC decoder, but be sure to disable/uninstall your current one first.

@jss: As i don't have those files myself i can't try it but if you want to compare the performace of different encodes you could either watch the "Cpu Time" meter in the taskmanager, or underclock your cpu to simulate a slower system =). Either by using some standart slowdown-software, hardunderclocking via bios oder rctools if you have a cpu that supports on-the-fly reclocking ^_°. Even though i remember bitrate beeing the biggest factor with x264 playback speed.

@coreavc: For people who want to try it, PowerDVD7 installs CoreAVC =) which is the version i'm using atm. The pdvd i'm using is a 30DayTrial tho (which isn't over for me yet), which is why i don't know what happens to coreavc once the trial is over even if you don't deinstall pdvd.
I've used it myself and indeed it does use alot less cpu (compared to ffdshow/libavoc in mpc), but it still doesn't solve a strange issue that drops frames even at ~30% cpu utilysation. Causes the actual average fps to drop to 22 on a 23.9fps file =/, i can't see a difference tho ^.^.

All set to go for release tomorrow (Sunday) morning. This episode is serious business and marks the turning point for the rest of the series. We're halfway to A's (yes, I do plan on doing it)!

Notable changes since TV airing:
Light shining through a window actually shines on the floor as well in one scene
Fate and Arf no longer cast shadows visible in the air in one scene (hard to describe, not all that important either)
Nanoha's sister is no longer translucent and now casts a solid shadow
A camera angle near the end of the episode was changed because you couldn't actually see the person who was talking

Raising Heart and Bardiche now have unique fonts, I'd appreciate readability comments as they look great on my 20" LCD, but I haven't tried anything lower res like a TV.

Thanks :P

Great stuff as always. Keep up the good work!

I think a thread like this is necessary. Many many thanks for bringing nanoha in such a great quality to us all. Keep up the good work :)

You might have noticed that Raising Heart and Bardiche have a slightly different font as of episode 5. Currently it is the same font for both of them, but I'd really like a unique one for each. Something techno-ish with hard lines since they are more or less computers on a stick.

For those completely unfamiliar with this sort of messageboard, let me point out that registration is NOT required (or even possible really). It is completely unnecessary to fill out any field on the post form (except for the title of new threads).

If you're an identity freak, use a tripcode. Enter your name in the name field, followed by a # and a "password". This will get hashed and you'll see YourName!randomlettersandnumbers.

Anyway, discussion is open to just about anything related to the project. Have at you!
