Here are the two episodes that were on volume one of the DtB S2 blu-rays. Note that episode 2+ will use ordered chapters–this will save you space in the long run, trust me. Just keep them in the same folder, yada yada… Also, the BD source is much cleaner and clearer than the tv broadcast (imagine that), so it compresses better. Enjoy.
Torrent: 01-02 + op/ed (720p)
With regards to a 1080p encode:
( @skystrife ) no, not worth it. doesn’t look like 1080p material to me.
( @skystrife ) you’d probably get just as much detail using something like ffdshow to upscale it to 1080p
It’s also not playable on whatever shiny plastic box you own that isn’t a pc, as are almost all of my encodes. I don’t plan on changing this. Feel free to blog at me on irc about it.
And yes, we will be subbing the OVAs that come on the blu-rays–there is one ep on every other disc, so expect that around the 27th or so.

@Mia:
u so fanny.
srs: Your mileage may vary. If it’s not a computer I make no guarantees and you’re on your own.
If it isn’t shiny, will it work?
@Zero:
No, I was referring PS3/Xbox 360/PC dependent on using hardware acceleration/any future shiny non-computer boxes.
Also, expect episode 3 soon!
If by “whatever shiny plastic box you own that isn’t a pc” you mean “Macintosh”, sorry, but it works fine on QuickTime, just as all your rips. If someone complains, they’re probably too dumb for a Mac.
ps: Works great on Apple TV too with Perian.
Do they show Suou’s nipples in the BD? (Please say yes.)
@Dark Noah:
x264 and neroaacenc.
@ skystrife
which encoder do u use???
cause I have really liked the quality of ur encodes
@DTamer:
Not if I’m encoding, most likely. Only concession I’m willing to make is maybe 15 ref instead of 16 for coreavc cuda users.
@hiyo:
This isn’t 1080p, or this would be a different story.
If you can’t play back 720p you need to upgrade: I have reports of netbooks being able to play this just fine. If your desktop is slower than a netbook, you should really upgrade.
Yeah, I know people running 2ghz Core2Duo’s and Xeon’s who can’t run 1080p without having to use CoreAVC instead of ffdshow. I really wonder who the people are that actually can play the 1080p smoothly. Probably mostly encoders . . .
I was wondering if this and future DTB release will be playable on “Whataever shiny plastic box” we play on?
I’m able to fix the files myself with mkvtoolnix, but is it possible to set the default flag to yes/default on the video track in future releases? Apparently most Mac players tend to show nothing but white video when there is no track with the flag set.
Yeah, just trying to be future-lazy.
@fenixdown110:
-q 0.8 AAC (nero). Something roughly 320kbps-ish.
@Thoran:
Maybe…
Hey you guys gonna be subbing the new Nodame Cantabile Season that premiered yesterday?
Great work! can’t wait for the new OVA!
excellent. better quality at a smaller file size. no reason not to download. i think my marketing background is showing.
