I'm a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh and...

No, we don't have raws of the Toei anime. Those tapes belonged to a member who left. Don't bother us with this.

My video is squished!

Some of the early video encodes had the wrong aspect ratio set. If you're watching it on your computer, you can fix this by fiddling with your aspect ratio. You can also use programs to rewrite the header so that it uses the correct aspect ratio setting.

So about your early Shinkenger and Decade HD encodes

We know there's compatibility issues. There are no current plans to rerelease them, however.

What do SD/HD stand for?

SD = Standard definition, HD = High definition. Basically HD = 720p or 1080p, bigger resolution and file size for more quality.

Why do you release SDs before the HD versions

SDs are smaller and faster to encode. They're smaller and faster to upload. Sorry if the answer isn't very interesting.

What are those numbers in brackets at the end of the files?

Those are used to calculate the CRC, which checks to make sure your file is complete. You can use a program called RapidCRC to double check it, handy if you're having playback problems.

Can I ask if you're going to sub this series/movie?

We have a thread] for submitting those questions. In general, the answer is probably "no" unless it's directly related to one of our other projects.

Man, these shows sure are Japanese. Can I get some help with that?

Sure! We have a list on the wiki of articles related to Japanese stuff.

When I reencode your older videos the audio/video is out of sync. How do I fix that?

Try opening it in Virtualdub. Set video and audio to direct stream. Then clip off the splash. The splash at the beginning might be what's causing the audio desync.

How can I upload new files? I can't find the "Upload file" button in the sidebar.

Send me (takenoko) a request for permission to upload.

Do you do hard subs or soft subs?

We only do hard subs. We don't give our scripts out.
