Oye, I can do caps too, shows how idiotic it looks huh? Now, I am doing it right for installing, but I have major install problems, or the program doesn't like ASS, or the Kanji does not register, et al.

Well, I've never seen it at A-kon (via computer from friends), nor Animefest, in any of the rooms they show anime. MP4's shown alot, but not MKV.

DID I SAY MKV WAS A #%&*#^&&*#^$*(#& CODEC, OR DIVX/XVID WAS A %#$%#&(*&% CONTAINER?! Ahem, First crashed, second lost all Kanji.... I did try that.

Hey I'm just voicing an opinion. If you feel offended, then I'm sorry. First you told me that MKV has always been standardized, but when I extract MKV's, I easily see otherwise. If they were standardized, we would have a program that even newbies can use to play them on iPods, without having to rant on boards that return fire with clueless, ego-busting, inept flames on "oh it's sooo clear/You suck for changing it to AVI/etc." Total Video Converter, which I bought for FLV converting says MKV support is from the older ones, not the other flavors I've seen (didn't work on any of the MKV's I have, no subs).

Then no wonder it's going downhill at Animefest... They resorted to using commercial US Anime for half the room...
