Old Computer Says:
Where are the XviD for Skip Beat! ep 02 ‘n’ 03? I have been waiting like forever now since you released H.264 … my computer can’t handle that format when its not in 400×700 so i’m currently crying my eyes out and also come in here like 3 times everyday to see if you have encoded it? We of the old Computer society demands some answers for your tardiness or at least an apology!
You are freaking lucky that when that was posted, I was in a fairly good mood. I’m addressing everyone at once. You have absolutely NO RIGHT AT ALL to demand ANYTHING from us, be it an apology, answers, episodes, shows, or formats. You’re paying NOTHING for this. We’re under no obligation to do anything for you at all. So you have no right to demand. If I wasn’t in a good mood at that time, I would have probably just said “Screw XviDs from now on” and everyone with an old computer would have to suffer.
Come on. If you’re that desperate to see the episode, watch it streaming somewhere.
Now, onto other things. We’re working on both Quartet and RV as we speak. Quartet this week will be released in 3 formats instead of 2. Well, 2 formats, but one will have two different types. Why? It’s for a little bit of fun on my part. Skip Beat finally is XviD encoded (that 02 encode took 4 hours alone), and will be ULing as soon as I get some wireless time. After then, we should have everything but ZKC caught up. But that’s just timing and encoding left right now, so it should be out soon.
old computer=biggest douchebag ever
WHERE DA FUCK IS MY XVID HURRY UP MAGGOTS.
I DEMAND SOME ANSWER FROM YOU NOW.
You have absolutely NO RIGHT AT ALL to demand ANYTHING from us, be it an apology, answers, episodes, shows, or formats. We’re not getting paid for this. We’re under no obligation to do anything for you at all. So you have no right to demand.
^— I hate to say this, but that’s not entirely true. While you may not get ‘paid’ for it, people do make donations, and, unless you have a dedicated server, or are getting ripped off, hosting does not cost as much as you’ve made through donations in the last four months. so while you may not ‘get paid’, you get donation money.
I’m not a donor, and I don’t have any rights to tell you what to do, but if you used all that $ for hosting/bandwidth and your domain name, you’re getting screwed completely. Again I’m not trying to sound like a prick or nothing, nor am I telling you what to do or anything, I just don’t find that statement to be 100% true.
But anyways, looking forward to Zettai Karen Children when you get around to it. <3
old computer stfu man.. the only thing you have to do is wait so ffs let the chihiro team do their great job well as always… ty chihiro!
ill beat the crap out of you!!
dont ruin the xvid for every1, just have a bit patient and stfu!! or else they will stop the xvid’s and if they do that ur going down bitch!!
I’m guessing the Old Computer poster here is just a troll… no one’s that callous enough to keep bitching about stuff after he/she just got pwned badly on the front page.
That said though…
*passes around some troll beating sticks to everyone in thread*
You guys are doing a great job! I don’t care what anyone else says. You always have Rosario on xvid by sunday and that’s fast!
Thx for Yozakura ep 2 and 3 Xvid. Have been waiting eagerly for them to be released 😀 Please continue your great work 🙂
Take your time…
Kyou no Go no Ni is the only series that I’m following with you guys, and I don’t mind as long as I eventually get to see the next episode.
And for those with computers that can only handle up to XviD…Come on.
I think it’s about time you got a new computer. And make sure you have CCCP installed.
>_>
I feel your pain, Kristen.
Some people just don’t get it. I’m taking care of a wiki (or was, when I had more free time) about a game (DDO if you are curious about it) and I get people sending PMs like “Ze wantz moar inf0rmation!!!11 W0rk n00b!11”. They don’t understand it’s an hobbie, not a job. (Or even funnier, that it’s a wiki and that they can edit it themselves.)
You seem very dedicated to Chihiro and work very hard. Anyone making demands are idiots. It,s obvious to me how much time you put in this. So, let me thank you and the rest of the Chihiro crew for your hardwork. It’s really appreciated. 🙂
Don’t let idiots like that get to you.
-Borror0
kristen dont take what they say to close to your hart, just say screw them, any way as usual thanks for the update/release and every thing you do! 🙂
Just gonna throw this out there…. but im gonna guess that “old computer” guy was joking….
Actually, I believe Chihiro Hosts direct downloads from their website. I know for a fact after helping friends and colleagues with their websites, having Direct downloads can add quite a bit to the bill.
http://www.chihiro-subs.com/direct-download/
That’s quite an extensive list, and the bandwidth it takes up wouldn’t surprise me, especially with the rather generous goals. ($130 us for two months, with roughly 100 direct download possibilities, I’d have to say that is very generous)
Then there’s the old computer person, who may or may not be joking, and I tend to hate those people.
I have a personal belief that those people should troll only on veoh or some other site. Personally i think trollers who constantly beg for something should rot in hell, but that’s another personal belief. I used to change the format from .mkv to generally .avi on my own, and upload to veoh saying that I changed the format myself, the original was from ____ fansub, and this current file is supported by ____ fansub, but then i had people trolling that account, and it just so happened I was in a terrible mood when an annoying person started demanding, so I deleted all those videos. I’ve never felt happier in my life.
But, it seems Kristen has a much kinder heart than I do, so I’d like to thank everyone at Chihiro for their hard work, and those trollers who don’t care about anything but the next release or format, please go eat your own fecal matter.
I say drop xvids and welcome MP4. I feel bad for people that are still forced to used those ancient formats. The quality is really choppy about 70% of the time compared to other formats. Its almost 2009 now. Everyone should have a up to date computer by now that can play MKV files. If your so bent on AVI just get a converter.
I recommend this http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net/ and yes soft subs transfer over
crap, i missed a “not” there, but I’ve brought up what i had on veoh until i got pissed off.
“This eleventh episode of ________ was originally done in .mkv (h264) format by _________ fansub group. I changed the format without their permission, using their timing and scripts to, to .avi in order to upload it onto Veoh. The fansub group does not support this file or video, and I hold all responsiblity for taking their works and editting it myself. Please support _____ fansub group for their hard work. Enjoy this Episode, and take care.”
I’d have to agree with 0broken0 there, if you are so desperate to get the AVI’s then convert it yourself.

^– Yes I know Chihiro has direct downloads, but that would still be a rip off $ wise for hosting for as many episodes as are their. I’m not trolling or bitching, or telling them to get the fuck to work, I’m just saying that the statement made was rather unorthodoxed. I could care less how long they take as long as they come out. If they spent that much for bandwidth for those few episodes, they have too big of a server for what their needs currently are.
I don’t manage the site, I don’t make their decisions, and I’m just saying it seems really imprudent to make that statement. I really appreciate their work, other wise I couldn’t have ZKC, and I agree with everyone who is bashing old computer, though, that makes you look no better than O.C. him or herself. I just find it rude to take donations then say they don’t get payed for it. Which, although it may be true, their are many problems with it. I’m not demanding anything, I’m not trolling, and I’m not saying they are retarded or that they are asinine, I’m just stating my opinion.
As for the XvID and MKV thing, if you’re downloading anime, and cant play MKVs with your normal player, get freaking VLC and learn how to use it. 8 out of 10 720p(HD) videos takes less than 100MB of ram, and barely any CPU usage through VLC because it uses it’s own coding using direct access to library files, instead of codecs. Although you may run into subtitle problems, this is easily fixed in the options of VLC if you take the time to learn how to use the program.
Again, I’m not bashing, trolling, or whatever, just expressing my view on it, and yes, I agree the O.C. is wrong here.
i really hate those beggers -.-”
you do al this great work for free and still they keep wining -_-
keep up the great work and i hope you don’t mind this bul shit from those iddiots.
VLC is crap for 720p, simply because it was never ment to play them. It has almost zero softsubs support and very poor HD support. For the love of Nagi, use MPC-HD + Core AVC. If that does not run it…nothing in Windows will.
If VLC is crap for 720p and softsubs, I wonder why I’ve never had the problems everyone brings up about it…
Screw the XviD! We only want high definition episodes! Thanks Chihiro for all your hard work!
ban them, then they’ll really have something to complain about. Waiting another week from another group to watch their precious episodes.
crap, just realized you cant ban someone from getting a torrent, nvm
just break their knee caps
You cant ban them from getting a torrent, but the tracker can ban them.
blah, if you’re a donor and feel like we should do something, that’s one thing. But as far as I know, you aren’t.
I’ll change the wording to say “You’re getting this for free”.
i agree with blah about vlc ive never had any troubles and the latest version auto loads softsubs which makes life alot easier. the player also has better picture quality and sound options so its nowhere near as bad as people claim (most claims ive seen seem to be based on the older versions that have been updated a heck of alot since then)
tbh though mp4 is a better option for encodes imo if u need evidence for this check around some of the groups like yuurisan coz theyve managed to fit superior encodes into a smaller space using that format and the picture is crystal clear.
Just…wow. People are…amazing… They just don’t know patience anymore, do they? -__-;;;
I’m downloading the .mkv for episode 01 of Skip Beat! right now. Thanks for all your hard work!! You guys do such an awesome job. 😀
People who use VLC and have no problems with it, I have no problem with. If they like it, and can use it without any problems, that is good for them.
I’m talking about all the idiots who CAN’T get it to work, and then come here with their “Your files are crap, i can’t run thme, the subtitles are too big..etc” crap. THOSE are the imbeciles I have a problem with.
lol demanding and whining about stuff @ chihiro, chihiro! If ye ask me Chihiro are atm the best fansubbing group atm with the most shows ( hey but ss has more, well they only release 1 or 2 every few days) and the quality is good enough as well! so quit ur whining and go jerk yerselves off on some hentai.
RESPECT M AUTHORITAW!
GET A NEW COMPUTER OLD COMPUTER.
LOLOLOLOL WOW thats freaking funny…I just like time the ep slower cuz of that
^ nah jkjk I won’t ^^
(I forgot to change my nick to Dango)
Chihiro is mad ¬¬
Thats why I never ask for anithing XD
Thanks for all your releases.
You mentioned something about encoders, so I’ll mention an encoder who helped re-encode some of the things you posted into AVI format: Tsukune. Tsukune should be on your team. He has even somehow successfully pulled off an h264 encoded AVI that’s actually usable.
A new pc costs for about 200$.Dont do it for us,do it for you 🙂
Please don’t stop doing xvids!! many of us love your releases and are more than happy to wait on you to release xvids.
“Please don’t stop doing xvids!! many of us love your releases and are more than happy to wait on you to release xvids.”
ditto.
thanks yr. releases when they are released.
Chihiro subs are awesome, keep up the same phase! I’m really looking forward for your subs everytime on the weekends.
Even if you’re making a donation, that doesn’t give you some right to demand this and that as tactlessly as possible. “Hey I made a voluntary donation to you SO WTF IS MAH XVID?? START RELAESING DEM SOONER AND APOLOGIZE 4 UR TARDYNESS!!!!” Yeah, right.
By the way, totally random, but there’s a banner at the bottom of the page for “Darling Anime & Chihiro.” Chihiro’s face is flipped horizontally. Kind of noticeable when someone is missing an eye.
Well said Kristen. I honestly can’t figure out where these types of people come from. I am so greatful for all your hard work and appreciate every episode that you put out.
thanks for the support NeoDarklight that was my first encoded a episode but im still learning by the way a make a better version of episode 2 and 3 if anyone wants the version just tell me
I can watch both with my new computer. with my old one I could too (6 years old) but it was just bad. The only reason I still watch Xvid is cus of the file size, window size customization, alt+] & alt+[, and I dont see the difference in qualities.
i would just like to say this. you guys are one of the best sub groups i’ve seen and with nothing other than the few donations to help, that places you number one in my books. I would just like to say, thank you for producing what you do, you guys rule ^^
If i were a fansuber i’d only released h264 myself, why stress myself for people who refuse to upgrade thier computers or set them up correctly. Seriously at worst they would just not get your version of the subs and if your the only group doing them then they are SOL. One encode = easyer on the encoder and faster releases.(btw filesize who cares, you can get 500GB HDD’s for 60 bucks these days, and DVDR’s are even cheaper… HDD space mmmmk)
IMO fansub groups need “its my way or GTFO” type of ideal.
Anyways i think you guys are doing a great job but i say definately drop XVID if at all possible. . . unless of cource you got idle encoders or something who don’t mind dedicating the time to encoding another version for no reason.
I don’t see any problems to watch MKV or AVi files on my computer, a otaku’s computer should be perfect to use at anytime. A computer that keep having problems or whatever issues that can’t let some people to watch is not fit to be a computer, just throw it out =.=
This is really getting big, Chihiro is the only english subbed group I’ll watch now.
Other english fansubs subs very slow, but Chihiro is the fastest. Hope those guys who had problems downloading MKV can go watch online or download from other sites, it’s your fate to have such a computer.
Just a thought really, but checking back here 3 times a day isn’t the best place to look for releases. looking om Nyaa is better since i’ve found the torrents on there ages before they’re finally posted here.
People like the xvids because it makes it easier for making DVD’s ut of them. MKV’s don’t play on DVD players. Plus personally i prefer the xvid/avi since i can then recode it to RMVB getting the file sixe down to 75-80mb with little quality loss. This means i can usually get 2 shows on a single DVD when i archive. With MKV’s i’d need to reencode the file to avi first, then to rmvb.
All of you bitching about not getting the Xvid format why dont you stop crying for a second and think. If its only MKV’s out then make it into an Xvid instead, use a file converter. And if your too stupid to know what it is go eat your keyboard since you dont seem to need it..
don’t rock the boat please chihiro is getting everything out and you should be happy that they are subbing these show .keep up the good work everyone at chihiro
Ecchi
No questions, you are right.
