When I said sound is desynchronized... well I dunno now where to see the fps but let's say u feel the system heavy like u were playing encode of 1024*something in P3 550 with 128 ram and with a TNT2. Other words... u dont play well. Yeah I had this system before... I had to buy my actual system coz I couldn't watch anime.

@Tiberium Wolf: That SSO clip is both licensed and a DVDrip - in this place, that's worse than any hentai ~_~
In any case... guess what K-Lite uses for H.264 decoding? ffdshow. MKV splitting? Haali's splitter. Softsubs? VSFilter (they even install two versions - they seem to think that redundancy is good). Now... lo and behold. CCCP USES THE EXACT SAME THINGS (at least for H.264 playback)! Either you're doing something wrong, using different players (you might be using MPC's internal filters, who knows - however, its MKV splitter fails and its subtitle renderer is slower than VSFilter) or it's the placebo effect. In any case, that SSO OP is a real CPU killer - if that works, you can probably watch most H.264 files without lag.

EDIT: I went back and watched more... and it's actually not that great at all visually. The ED is completely destroyed and throughout the whole episode there's a lot of blocking on faces. Last edited by Eeknay; 2005-12-28 at 19:27. |

I only watched a few minutes of it. I recall parts of the op had basically lost a lot of detail (i.e. the scene where captain unoha (sp?) walks past a wooden pillar and it is just a solid color). I don't have it to look at again but I wouldn't be surprised. And yes 64kbps audio is horrid.
I'm with quarkboy as far as audio bitrates are concernced, though i prefer vorbis in some instances. |

Lunar released Bleach in H.264 too... just too bad its in MKV and not MP4 (personal preference ) and they made it 170 MB... im quite sure that 140 MB with the right settings woud be more that sufficient =)
Saves 30 MB per download @ wingdarkness: You are blind if you think a H.264 does not top XviD and/or DivX, im sure nobody would contest me on this :P (if both version are some the same source and with correct settings) And as NSW said, watch our (Arienai's) Pretty Cure and compare. Do _NOT_ use DB's Bleach ffs, reasons for this can be found in Quarkboy's post (the whole speed over quality thing) |

Yes. Even though I'm currently on my father's place (with its awesome 128/128 connection), I would preffer the extra quality, and I can clearly see in that anime that it could look a lot better, given the raws.

In my opinion the smaller file size was a plus compared to the normal XviD version (~175 MB). |

@enzo80: Anime Playback Components - I hope this helps. If you have a slow PC, for example around or even under 1 GHz, you will need to give VideoLan Player or MPlayer a chance since they take less CPU power than your average ffdshow + DShow player(MPC, ZoomPlayer).

On a different topic, I just re-did the CPU time test on my laptop (a pretty old and tired Asus with a 1.4 GHz Celeron and 512 MB RAM) and had some... interesting... results.
Using the same SSO OP and the same ffdshow build, the laptop (which by all rights should be about half as fast as my Athlon X2 desktop) uses about 5-8 seconds less CPU time than the desktop does. VLC just refuses to play anything at all. My conclusion: NEVER TRUST TASK MANAGER. I will completely disregard all CPU usage reports for any player whatsoever until someone finds a reliable tool to do the measurements with. EDIT: I FAIL IT. I thought I had Cool'n'Quiet off on the X2, but apparently I didn't, which means that the X2 was running at half the clock speed. Please disregard this post.

btw, saying MKV is superior to MP4 is bs :P Its a matter of preference (just like the choice of DivX 5/6 or XviD) and i prefer MP4 :P Putting more bits into Ginban is useless, it won't improve the video quality at all... just add useless bits to the image. The raws aren't exactly superb :P I'd only use 170 MB on a H.264 encode if the difference between 140 and 170 is clearly seen. But even Pretty Cure DVD's are fine at 140 MB too, using 170 MB would not improve quality on those either |

In any case, sub cool is a poor advocate for anything. We do Ginban at 140 because I feel the quality is about the same (a bit better, maybe) than the equivalent 175 MB xvid. The raws are basic 640x480 resolution, relatively decent, but nothing special (and frankly, neither is the animation). Would quality improve at 175 MB? Well, not with sub cool encoding, that's for sure . You're quite right, it simply wouldn't improve enough to warrant the extra filesize.
