It was my entry and I did mess it up a little. There was a bug when site first launched. SHS couldn't be selected alone. For testing purposes I entered it anyway. We solved the problem of course but I forgot to reset group name to SHS only. I will correct it at once when I'm home. Also if you read the tutorial you can see Dragonaut was prepared for writing tutorial. Normally 5 or more screenshots are prepared for an anime.

As you said, "moderators check everything", but moderators are human too and can make mistakes. You don't think moderators are sitting on a computer and waiting for a feed to check on things all the time, do you? We all have lifes other than checking the site for mistakes every minute. Also you don't have to enter any screenshots of course. Nobody forces you. This site is entirely fan based and of course while some users prefer entering screen shots, some users will only use it as comparing the screen shots. This is what the site intended for. You can be sure, at least I will enter screen-shots when I'm available. So you can be sure the site will be updated constantly. But of course if other users will enter information too, than it will update a lot faster. BTW, I'm open to suggestions which animes do you want to see first for comparison? I could upload screenshots after I downloaded (if I don't have) all the fansubs required for anime.

As there is no script that can decide what's an incorrect info and correct one, we must rely on humans to do that. Thus means we need more moderators. There is a trade off between über correctness and up to date information and our decision was the latter. I think as our database progresses and more moderators join, our margin between "good" and "bad" will be a few hours. |

As everyone knows, you can easily use JavaScript to rescale and crop images. On top of that, because of its dynamics, you can display them on the fly without having to click more buttons than needed. Ideally, clicking three times and dragging part of the image can be accomplished before comparing between three screenshots at a time... Best interface = less clicks and scrolling. To drag to another part of the image, you can easily accomplish by dragging in the small thumbnail. They are all supported under AJAX. Quote:

The only problem with getting groups per episode will require you to login to do so on anidb... But, you don't really want to do that, so it will be impossible... |

you only need to grab the abbreviations and display it there... People will actually have to go on AniDB to know what they stand for (a link is feasible)... I don't think writing that function will be so difficult... (And I actually think that AniDB should have a screenshot comparison system available there... if they can provide such high bw's) |

1) Setting renderer to VMR9 is not a good idea, because it is prone to not working correctly. Plus you don't really want to output from the renderer, because depending on your graphics card the output may differ. If you really want to use this approach badly, use Haali's.
2) Saving as JPEG? Where did you come from? JPEG is lossy, therefore information is lost from the source in order to compress the picture, ie make it smaller. Use PNG which uses lossless compression. After all, you do want to compare the video quality too, and not just the subtitle style, right?

2) After the first entry we thought about that too.. From hereafter I plan to take screenshots with BMP format then convert to PNG (lossless) to update to site. I'll rewrite tutorial to explain how to do that (with MSPAINT of course.. But users could use other programs for converting like Faststone or Acdsee or something else)

TL;DR

Why would anyone want to compare encodes from shots that were lossy? You could say that perhaps an average viewer won't really notice any difference, but there are also encoders out there who wish to know which group has the best encode for the show they want to watch. Please explain why PNG won't do much for "this" project or any particular project that involves comparing encodes. |

I acknowledge that PNG is superior when it purely comes down to picture quality, but my point is that any JPEG artifacts (that you probably won't notice) are insignificant compared to the differences the source and filtering brings to the table. It's just a sensible trade-off to save bandwidth and load time for this informal comparison.
And a simple frame screenshot with no information about bitrate or anything never really does justice to an encoder no matter what format it is in. Of course, the choice is up to the site makers, so I'll leave it at that. I just wanted to state my opinion. |

Also, one idea is have both jpeg AND png options. Some other site did that iirc. |
