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.
its only $60 dollars for a mobo with on onboard video card and maybe $120 for a duel core? then swap everything else , load the drivers and watch it in h264 format. if u cant afford $200 dollars then u need to quit watching anime and find a 2nd job and buy the shit because its not vary much!
I was hoping it would be mentioned before I mentioned myself, and “Animeruko” pretty much took care of it. Just got myself a high quality 1TB portable HD for practically nothing. Anyone with a paycheck can get one if they need to support their anime fix (since we all know it’s not an addiction, it’s a lifestyle ^_^).
So who needs Xvid when you can play all the high quality versions without any problems if you want to be that serious. The space is unlimited, and it’s for free… take advantage and do everyone else a favor and stfu and gtfo if you can’t deal.
For those who don’t like Chihiro subs because they’re “a low quality speedsub”, congrats on your worthless opinions. Even if Chihiro is a “speedsub” group, based on how they release, that makes them a Quality SpeedSub group ^_^
Who cares if the translations are different than other subbers (if they use chinese subs and convert for some releases, that wouldn’t even be very surprising as a result).
Keep up the good work, Chihiro.
p.s.> this wasn’t a post as a debate as it didn’t take much thought.
so disagreeing and expressing it is just to satisfy one’s self, and not for additional attention ^^
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..
^ Problem is that subs go away after conversion. Aegisub is also inaccurate with mkv subs, therefore, might screw up subs on occasion.
And another thing that should be mentioned, some people posting say that people should get new computers. Only two years ago, 1GB ram and 128 mb video card sufficed and was more than enough for handling almost everything. If you are suggesting that we need to buy a new computer/hardware upgrades every year to keep up with the technology that is changing extremely fast, then I have this to say to you: not everyone has the money to spend on cpu upgrades. I’m not complaining myself, as I don’t mind waiting, but I wish you people complaining about other people having “bad” computers, please try to think from their perspective as well.
don’t let the stupid ppl comment let you down. i’m sure so many ppl love ur release. all High quality and speedy release. keep the good work up.
My 6600GT was great and i had it since it was released no problems with current videos, I upgraded to a 9600GT a few months back to play Age of Conan. The 9600GT is dirt cheap and can play anything out there video wise. If you cant afford it try getting a job and learning how to manage your money.
Don’t make other people cater to you because you refuse to put fourth the effort to support your own needs. (just directed to “people who cant afford”)
lol, you guys just suck…
Hmmz O_p , I must say, I never expected this to get that big :S from a lousy comment made from the abstinense of a good show and me hating my my slow old computer.. but hey if it’s that big of a deal then as i posted on Comments: ef a tale ep3 i say it again:
I’M VERY SORRY TO HAVE UPSET YOU GUYS WITH UNWANTED WHINING AND OTHER POINTLESS BEHAVIER.
And to all you other fu***rs calling me names, I <3 you 2 🙂
Ow and Btw that:

WHERE DA FUCK IS MY XVID HURRY UP MAGGOTS.
I DEMAND SOME ANSWER FROM YOU NOW.
Is not me (the guy with gay comment and demands :P).
So whoever that is… i h8 you
He’s most likely joking on that post.
This isn’t pertained to him. Its overall.
Just note that we do not have to provide you with anything. You can’t demand anything, nor should you. We’re doing this cause we want to..Zzzzz
^— 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.
^–
Donation money is purely voluntary from people who enjoy the work this group does. It doesn’t make them obligated to do anything.
@Animeruko
Another thing is, some people don’t want to spend that much money for computer upgrades just to watch anime a bit earlier. Not saying that you are, but it can’t be assumed that every person is eligible for a job, or has a consistent job with a constant wage.
I could care less what container or encoder is used, so long as I don’t have to deal with huge resolutions. Yes, on a 4 year old computer 720p counts as huge. I’d love to have 480p of anything: avi, mp4, mkv, ogm, mov… fine. I can deal. I can play with my VLC settings to decode anything at 480p… and SOME 720p files, but they look like poo. So yeah, I really appreciate the avi’s simply because they tend to be lower resolution, and will run smoothly (barring a shitty encoder, which the Chihiro team is NOT!)
Oh, and to all you fuckers telling us to buy new computers… I’d love to, but it’s really quite costly to be a full time student. I dislike minutiae, so I’m just going to state that new computers are NOT the way to reduce the need for student loans.
Finally, thanks for all your hard work Chihiro!
i have $300 to spend on something when rent,food,electricity etc is paid for … i would have to not do anything for like 4month no fun at all to save up for adecent computer.. and also im saving up for a trip to Japan right now so new computer until summer of 2010 is a big NO-NO in my checkbook 😛
Sabisu, What i said befor applies to those people too. Don’t expect other people to do something for you because you don’t want to do something you should do for yourself.
Its not their fault someone choses not to upgrade their computer, its not their fault someone choses not to work, its not their fault someone cannot work because they are underaged, its not thier fault someone doesnt know how to manage their money and over extends themselevs with bills.
If i can struggle and work hard, sacrifice somethings for other things and make ends meet and save for the things i want anyone else can too. As far as i see it if you have acess to a computer and able to download your animes and such you have no right to complain about cant do this cant do that or not eligable for this or that.
Im just rambling nonsence to make it all simple, If you cant handle h264, GTFO the internets.
lets break out the cookies and have a tea party?
Donation money is purely voluntary from people who enjoy the work this group does. It doesn’t make them obligated to do anything
^–
I never said it wasn’t voluntary, that wasn’t the point, you obviously missed it. Not that I really give a damn anyways since everyone is just going to say what ever they want and think want they want regardless of what anyone says. I could sit here and explain in detail, but considering the fact that it would make no difference means that doing so would be a waste of my time as is this post here.
But just to note, just cause something is voluntary, doesn’t mean the end result is not the same does it? You could argue the differences between them, but the results would be the same regardless. They receive money from their fans, which, yes, is completely voluntary, and yes, this isn’t their job, and no, they don’t have to do what anyone says.
But yet, I express my opinion on the whole thing, and now suddenly I’m the crude one for stating my view on the whole subject, like I hate this group or something. You must think cause I have my own opinion and choose to express it that I’m one of those who just come around to bother people. Well, if that is what you think, then by all means go ahead, but I know that’s not my reason, and I know exactly what I mean to say even if it does not come across to everyone the way it is meant to be.
My only point was that which I already stated, and if I’m guilty for stating my opinion and still liking this group for Zettai Karen Children, then so be it. You or anyone else can choose what you wish to think of me, and I could not care less to be honest. I’ve clearly just expressed my view from a viewpoint of someone who knows what servers and bandwidth cost. I understand it is a hobby, and as Kristen stated herself (i’m guessing Kristen is a girl?), “it’s one thing if you’re a donor”, but that wasn’t my point at all. It’s not like I am defending those demanding anything, or telling Chihiro what to do, I’m merely expressing my view on the money thing.
And if I’m so horrible for mentioning something, then whatever. Say what you want.
blah I do not know how someone could take what you said in a bad way. While reading your comments it never came in my head you were complaining, bitching or defending but that you were expressing your own opinion in your own way. I am astonished how Kristen could be offended by your comments. I think she should have read what you were trying to say without her feelings clouding her opinion of you.
Why doesn’t someone just reccomend some good file converters? All I know is that mp4 format supports h264 encodes so an mp4 converter would be good.
Animeruko, I still don’t think you are understanding me properly. I said that I didn’t mind the HQ encodes in mkv format because I can play them fine (except op and ed, which doesn’t really matter for me). I am merely saying that you should merely think about other’s positions. I hope you were not being sarcastic about it not being their fault, as it really isn’t. There are always people less fortunate.
“Don’t expect other people to do something for you because you don’t want to do something you should do for yourself.” In some cases, it’s not a matter of whether or not the individual wants to or not. The better issue is whether they can or not. If they can and are simply lazy, then I agree with you.
“If i can struggle and work hard, sacrifice somethings for other things and make ends meet and save for the things i want anyone else can too.” << That is not necessarily true. Some people can’t escape their financial situation. What may be dirt cheap to you, may not be dirt cheap to others. To top it off, the economy isn’t in the greatest situation right now.
“Im just rambling nonsence to make it all simple, If you cant handle h264, GTFO the internets.” << That was completely unnecessary. Since when has internet only been used to dl h264 anime episodes? Surely you can find more useful things on the internet?
Also, just want to clarify. I don’t intend on starting an argument; rather, this is to express an alternate perspective on this issue. Chihiro has done good work, and I appreciate that.
It honestly doesn’t take that much horsepower to play an h.264 encoded video, get a computer from the last 2-3 years and it won’t have a problem playing it. If it does that means that you are doing it wrong and therefore fail at life…..a lot.
hey could you please pick up Macademi Wasshoi! as a project please
Guys, the conclusion of this is that.
Don’t rush us. We’re doing everything as fast as we can. We have lives. >.<
We don’t purposely not give you XviD formats(I r c Double negative)..It’s just that it takes time, and we’re not always dedicating our time to Chihiro.
Most of us do it to give back to the community, or just wants to have fun.
So please, stop complaining in such a way. Improvement ideas are another topic.
[…] XviDs and Other Things Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)Anime Episode Releases: 19/08/08 […]
@NIGGERS Says I really fucking hope that your ass is not white or else I would show you what a reall fucking nigger can do you fucking cracker. You better pray that i don’t find out you are a cracker because there is nothing i hate more that a fucking cracker using the word nigger.
Can anyone take a little time out of bashing each other and explain what the difference is between the two H264 encodes? That would be a great help.
What a loser. That guy has to be a troll. Wtf names themself “Old Computer”? Dude needs to stfu and get a damn life. Keep doing what you do Chihiro! You guys are awesome ^^
Y’know, until this post, I had no idea that h.264 was a better format for compression and quality than Xvid. Never bothered to google it up and find out for myself, I guess.
I had always thought Xvid was better because, uh…there’s a “X” in it. Like…”Xtreme”. Heh.
If I had known h.264 was a better format I would have only picked up h.264’s to begin with. Hell, maybe I’ll just replace all my files now.
Thanks Chihiro!
AVI isn’t only for old computer my computer may not be new but i can’t still play mkv just not chihiros mkv for some reason but anyways avis can be play on divx players on tv 0_0 another benefit of avis.
mmm i think there are ways to ask for things, if old computer users want the xvid format they can politely ask for the Chihiro team to do it. Even if there are donations they are not obligued to do this job and i find that they are doing it very well done and fast.
keep up the good work.
avi isn’t just for old computers unlike mkvs avis can be played on divx players on tv.
i would love it if chihiro released avi’s with a different vid codec than xvid or divx.
perhaps then these tvfags would shut up about their dvix players. fucking waste of dvd’s.
@Ken.
Yes H.264’s quality is way beyond xivD ….
You rock, thanks for the xvid and (more importantly) the Skip Beat!
I actually already dl the other version, but wanted to throw out some support against the complainers – you are not held to a schedule, there are no contractual agreements that bind you to release within a certain time frame. Donations should be considered as payments for services already rendered – it is completely within your rights to drop all projects and never sub again.
That being said, please don’t do that! I like too many of your projects.
excuse me but, without people supporting your group you are nothing, so the supporters (US) its like a school who dont have students (US) but have excellent teachers (YOU) and have a rich school organization (donators). US have the right to demand at least since we are the reference of chihiro is popularity and rank among other fansubs, its just that, that kind of demand old computer said was, hes saying his own side, he’s checking xvid 3 times a day (well i check xvid from time to time i dnt complain and i wait patiently) so i think we can demand from chihiro as their supporters (donator or not) if we have the right attitude, all i can is, release the HD and the XviD to prevent this kind of thing, since chihiro fans, supporters are expecting much from you.. remember you are being recognize for your fast release.. so please maintain your credibility.. chihiro rocks for me coz you have great subs and quick releases..

————————————————————————————————
I’m really hoping for that as well
I cannot understand the ppl that still use Xvid formats, ok its good if you wanna watch it on a DVD Player that can play Xvid / DivX but seriously ppl who keep complaining about this, just do us all a favor???……Get a F**kin brain!! Alls you need to do is get a codec pack like K-Lite Mega Codec Pack which i recommend as i hate the CCCP pack cos it does not cover everything like K-Lite does & thats it, job done!!
I mainly use Windows Media Player 11 to play all my Anime as it does 99.99999% of all my anime, the small percentage that does not play i will use VLC which in some ppl’s cases can be problematic yet comical, my advice if you can’t work Windows Media Player, then you shouldn’t be using a computer let alone being let loose to try and work out how to play stuff in VLC……simple as i mean come on WMP is the easiest player to get use to for Windows users and if you cant get it to work in that then well i think you’d better do some research or hang your head in shame.
It is true its at the groups discretion to do the files in different formats but if they see the vast majority are using the MKV or MP4 format then there is no point in bowing to the small numbers that want xVid just cos their pentium 300 won’t play it, little hint which i think sums it up for everyone else, PC’s are around £150-200 ($350-400) so there is no excuse that you cannot get a new pc, and if you still cannot get a new pc then get a video converter & do the bloody video conversion yourself as why should it cut into other ppl’s time in the group when its only for about say 50-100 ppl who still want xvid when 1000’s+ use mp4 & mkv.
I fully support chihiro in all its hard work they put into making their subs as good & fast as they can put them to us the public so i fully respect any decision they are making……….after all they are doing something for us for free which is in some regards that is classed as non-legit by some organisations that shall not be named (FUNa).
Keep subbing Chihiro…..
Zero
BTW. The PC i am using when i typed this i bought for £180 ($286.43) off the internet, so they can be bought cheap & anyone who doesnt like what i have said can keep their negative comments to themselves!
People are stupid…
zero, everybody can be happy.. (we can have xvid and mkv HD) or you are just brought up by your parents selfish ~ PEACE~
and for your info chihiro.. (people download most of skip beat are xvid) from nyaatorrents
Skip Beat MKV 01 – Completed: 785
Skip Beat XviD 01 – Completed: 21396
you want me to percentage it for you?
so if your going to drop xvid… i dnt want to imagine what happens.. dnt happen..
Thanks for the Xvids!
As someone who longs to trade in his current computer with the single mouse on a treadmill CPU for one of the newer multi-treadmill, red bull addicted hamster CPUs, I really do appreciate being able to watch shows that play smoothly and have the audio stay in sync with the video all the way through.
Thx for you hard work ;], need new computer for hd xD
wow some people here are pessimistic… but anyways thx for avis looking forward to your future releases. I know fansub groups take alot of shit from negative fans who are irrational so you shouldn’t take it too seriously. You guys do it for fun right so don’t take the comments so seriously. Keep doing What You Want, don’t make it a job to fansub make it something you enjoy like a hobby.
yeah.. responding to flamings may result to fans quarreling to each other and making the site’s reputation bad.. so thats it.. topic close 😀
thank you for XviD encoding!
i dont think that my dual core laptopie is that old (it has just celebrated 2 years of service earlier this month), but it definetly has some issues with larger formats. .________________.;
*hugs laptopie*
dun worry, i still love u~
July goal: $433 of our $100 goal.
August goal: $225 of our $200 monthly goal.
This & Last month’s donation goal: $290 of our $130 goal.
yeeeees. you are not getting paid at all ^_^ if you are doing all as volunteer than stop using donation like Dattebayo >.> just wonder. what are you doing with money that is above your goal? throwing it away or something? yeah right.
You old cpu tards shut up and wait patiently for the Xvid releases , that is if you tards still want them . Dont start with bullshit agains Chihiro who are doing a great job as fast as they can , insted you should be thanking them for the personal time they spend to do this insted of doing other stuff .
You people want faster Xvid releases ? in my opinion go to another fansub group , nobody is making you people download from Chihiro and if you people are not happy with their speed why bother them insted of looking for another group that will release your stuff quicker ( and sadly for you i still think Chihiro is the fastest of them all ! considering how many projects they have ) .
And more … stop bitching about the donations ! if you guys didnt see in the last months there was no donation button meaning because there were so many donations they stopped accepting and used the ones they already recived for the band they need and other expenses .
I am also a Xvid downloader .
ps1. Sorry Chihiro if i may have sounded to offensive agains them and maiby made some people ” leave ” . If the mods decide my comment is to hars please delete it but this is how i feel about all this ” shit ”
ps2. Sorry for the people i offended but you guys should learn your place once in a while or else it will go to your heads .
just wanted to say thank you very much for the xvids
Just a few, quick, disconnected points.
Kristen, I’m going to guess that the majority of the people whose systems can’t keep up with all MKV h264 releases are ones who don’t complain, who appreciate your efforts, and that the noisy prats doing all the whining are in the minority.
So far, I have yet to see any mention of a program or programs that could be used for converting MKVs to AVIs while keeping the subtitles intact, from anyone in this long thread and elsewhere. I’m guessing that no such program exists, since a reference to that would give the whiners an alternative to just whining, although I’d love to be proven wrong on this. My system is able to squeak by with many h264 MKVs, but ZKC is one of the few which seems to push the limits a bit too much, simply because it can’t keep up. I’ll take DmonHiro’s advice, and see if MPC HD and the core version of AVC work better than VLC.
Finally, to those bashing people who simply aren’t going out and buying a new computer, please don’t. A new computer often means a new system board, new CPU, and new compatible memory, plus sometimes other things. Not everyone can so casually think of that few hundred dollars as being so minor, when they may be having trouble paying for stuff far more critical than watching anime. Telling Chihiro to “stop releasing XVIDs” is as idiotic as “hurry up and release your XVIDs faster”, IMHO. I appreciate Chihiro for all of their hard work, never complain about what they release, and upload at least 5GB for each episode that they release. As long as the few XVIDs are released at some not too distant point, I’m happy.
i dont care much since my pc can handle 1080p. but i still keep avi just in case for saving my HD space/DVD burning later.
*anyway, C;H is out of my watchlist….boring…
Your doing great job with releasing stuff :D, i appriecate every episode you bring out, thank you !!!
its just like this.. both sides will suffer if they dont understand each other..
I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE HAPPY.. I HOPE CHIHIRO TOO.. JUST RELEASE BOTH!
TO US (FANS) STOP COMPLAINING, ESPECIALLY, DONT DEMAND! IT INCREASES THE STRESS OF CHIHIRO STAFF WHEN THEY SEE COMMENTS AND DEMANDS LIKE THAT, JUST BEG!!! (EX. PLEASE RELEASE ETC ETC) THEY WILL EVENTUALLY RELEASE IT DUE TO PUBLIC DEMAND..
WELL FANS HOLD MUCH POWER SINCE THEY ARE THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS IN THE FANSUBBING INDUSTRY..
WELL I DNT TAKE SIDES HERE, BOTH SIDES ARE WRONG,…
TO KRISTEN, DONT TAKE EVERYTHING SERIOUSLY, REACTING LIKE THAT INFRONT OF US FANS SAYING THAT WORDS (REMEMBER MONEY IS INVOLVED EVEN IF IT IS NAMED DONATION) WE DONT EXACTLY KNOW HOW YOU MANAGE THE MONEY SO PLS DONT BE RUDE TO THE FANS
TO FANS, DONT DO THINGS THAT WILL OFFEND CHIHIRO STAFF, COZ ENCODING, TRANSLATING IS HARD, TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND HARDWORK. REMEMBER WHETHER THEY ARE PAID OR NOT, WE DONT HAVE TO COMPLAIN, INSTEAD WE HAVE TO THANK THEM COZ THEY RELEASE EARLY AND WE ENJOY WATCHING SERIES THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN OUT OWN COUNTRY… IF YOUR NOT SATISFIED, ENJOY WATCHING RAWS OR DOWNLOAD OTHER SUBS.
PEACE OUT PEOPLE, CHILL!!!
