Or perhaps you refer to your preferred sub. But you did say you appreciate being given a choice.

I was referring to the sub I am following.

I pretty much dislike IY's version of the series so I decided to wait for F-B's version... uh, apparently it is a rather hopeless wait.

Well I thought it's pretty clear that I meant F-B's version since Lythka stated his/her (?) affiliation to the group ^^

@DeathWolf: 5 groups for Ergo Proxy? It's licensed O.o

Actually, a lot of things in the real economy apply to fansubs: time to market, brand name, etc. However, what's defunct is that there is hardly any cost, except for perhaps the wait time. The "cost" as viewed this way wouldn't really increase with demand though, since you are no longer fighting for a queue slot with a few hundred other downloaders, etc. In fact, it might even vary inversely with demand. I think the lack of a cost is partly due to the fact that the production cost per fansub file is almost nil compared to the amount of effort required to produce the original fansub file. Okay I should stop rambling now...

DeathWolf · 2006-02-25, 18:12

@Rion: yes but licensed isnt a boundary for much of the new subbing generation
also ergo proxy has at least 4 groups planning it that i know of
i assumed one that i wont know of which leads to 5
if it didnt get subbed i would gladly one man fansub it but since theres so many people on it, who cares^^

Mmm i never thought that many lol atleast 3 or 4. Ah well so many suprises.

The fansub community has always been a confederation of interdependent groups... It will continue to be that way. No decision that affects the entire community should ever come from a arbitrary decision made by a few veterans (#fansubbers). The only exception is an emergency like an IRC server exodus.

I've been in the fansub community since December 2002, I know how things work.

n00b.

FWIW, back in the VHS days, you had all kinds of crazy things going on with TAFML (The Anime Fansubbers' Mailing List) and #fansubs on EFNet, etc. But yeah, similar things happening now. The more things change and all.

Maceart · 2006-02-25, 21:55

Isn't change always for the good?

I mean, it's just logical to progress from .rm files to .avi files, no?

That is something completely different. What I am referring to is how people were making encodes with xvid and divx which did not work with old version of the codec. The same is happening with h.264. I had to go through 4 different encodes of a certain series to find one that was compatible with my current setup. (Probably the first time ever I have been happy for oversubbing.) Imagine if every single group had their own settings required to watch their releases.

We have no staff interested in any new shows, really. We're probably going to be delving into the 80s after our current projects are done.

I dunno that it's ALWAYS good. We have no interest in anything other than AVI right now, ourselves. Yes, it's a tired argument, but what's ultimately best for the fans and for the show?

For the fans, it's files that they can play with a minimum of fuss, and files that are compatible with the broadest range of hardware. For the show, arguably it's at an encoding 'quality' that's enjoyable, while not putting professional/retail releases to shame. Ultimately we're trying to build a fanbase for these shows to sell, right?

People will make the argument 'we want to do the best job we can', and while that's a great goal, and a good work ethic, I'd submit that in some cases, 'best' is not best

By all means, please do so. There are a number of good shows from that period that many here are unaware of.

PEDOS_GRANDE · 2006-02-25, 23:20

I work for a fansubber. So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.

Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about. But trust me.... You don't.

I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about. This is how bad info gets passed around.

If you don't know about the topic....Don't make yourself sound like you do. Because some readers believe anything they hear.

Perhaps a leecher final solution will solve your problems.
