I’ve just just downloaded it, but I can’t play it. All my codecs are fine and i can play other MKVs perfectly. Is there something wrong with this episode? I have spent 6 hours long to download this episode.

Someone, please help.. ^^

after BSS is finished subbing all 12 episodes of DARKER THAN BLACK 2, can they make the rest of the episodes into AVI for those who can’t watch episodes with 250MB or more.
People asked BSS to make it SD version cause its better for them to watch this anime. I agree with them. after ur done subbing all the HIgh Quality ones, make SD versions for those who cant handle the graphics of 350 MB.. people perfer 200 to 250 is fine AVi or MKV is fine

To open .mkv files you can simply use VLC media player. Quit asking for .avi extensions.

To all the people complaining about not having a low quality version:

-Encoding a LQ version and distributing it amounts to a small, but irritating task. The subbers do more than enough for everyone already, it’s really just another unnecessary burden to ask for things in multiple formats.

-If you’re running out of hard drive space, buy an external hard drive, it’s a great investment. A 500 gigabyte external hard drive from a good brand can easily be had for under $100 even if you don’t shop around. On sale from a good dealer, you can get a 1500 gigabyte external hard drive for that price.

-If your computer is too slow to render HQ video, you can download a program such as Super (very user friendly) or Mediacoder (very powerful) to convert the movie to a smaller size. Doing this yourself will take about as much time as it would take for the fansubbers to make one themselves and distribute it. Whether you wait an hour for them to upload a LQ video or you download the HQ video and take half an hour to convert it, you’re waiting about the same amount of time either way.

-Incidentally, if you have an external hard drive and “for any reason” you need to very suddenly have absolutely no legally questionable material on hand, even the most well-built external hard drive will not survive long against a microwave oven or, say, an axe.

-Finally, and perhaps most importantly, if there’s only ONE version of a release out there, it is much easier to find a good torrent for it. If you’ve ever tried to find releases of old shows that don’t have a batch torrent, you will understand the frustration that comes when half of the episodes only have seeds in one format, and the other half has no seeds in the other format. Then on the other hand, notice that you can easily find absolutely any and every episode of DB’s Bleach or Naruto releases, all in the same high quality, because they only made one release for each episode.

In one (two) sentence(s): It’s an unnecessary hassle for everyone involved, including you (even if you don’t realize it at the time), when more than one format is released. You’re already getting these for free, either pony up for an external hard drive or convert the episodes yourself to a lower quality, it’s probably a lot easier than you think.

Those recommended programs again for video conversion: “SUPER” (which is very, very simple), and Mediacoder (very, very powerful).

I’m not a representative of BSS or any other fansub group, just someone that realized this a long time ago.

thanks iya! i was using PSP Video 9 and i’m pretty excited PSPVC, so far it appears to be far more useful.

BSS hasn’t released avi for about a year and there are no plans to release avi versions in the future.

You can convert mkvs for the psp with PSPVC. BSS’ font is big enough with the internal ass renderer, but you can also configure ffdshow to handle the subtitles and increase the size to say 150%.

I really like and appreciate the subs and how much effort you put in, your an artist unlike most of the other subbers out there. But I need an avi version for psp file transfer.

=/ no avi version? space is so limited

I think that from the beginning the translator needed to understand that everyone is thinking that Suou is Shion. That is a cumulative error.

Whoops, scratch that, I just rechecked and the line it the same.

You may want to dl the RC2 subtitles, they changed that line to, “The little cutie that BK-201 is dragging around.”

By: blabla

blabla — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:31:20 +0000

you said that at the end of episode 3 everyone realizes that she’s not Shion, then why at episode 4 Shizume calls her “the professor’s son – the one who BK201 IS DRAGGING AROUND”??
i think you’re wrong. I think he still believes that Sohou is Shion. It just a bit weird because if that’s true then Shizume is a boys pedophille.
