“You may be able to play HD mkv files on an 8-yr-old PC, but I used to have a 4-year-old mac which wouldnâ€™t play them without skipping or crashing.”

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. Macs DON’T CRASH, I saw it on TV. SPREAD YOUR DISINFORMATION SOMEWHERE ELSE.

You may be able to play HD mkv files on an 8-yr-old PC, but I used to have a 4-year-old mac which wouldn’t play them without skipping or crashing. Most of the freeware that lets you easily convert to avi format seems to be PC-only. The amount of hassle I went through trying to find avi’s of Michiko To Hatchin and Genius Party and Freedom was ridiculous.

Luckily some crackmonkey stole it recently, and I now have a new one off insurance which will play these ridiculous higher-than-dvd-quality files that you fansub people give us for free out of the kindness of your hearts, but this is only by chance. Avi’s are damn useful.

More to the point, thanks for the episode. This show is depressing as fuck but it still rocks more than anything else this season..

For those who have problem playing high-res h264 video or simply said : big mkv file, try using this http://www.codecs.com/download/Codec.htm
Uninstall any codec or codec pack you have first before installing that.
LQ suck, if you insist try reencode it yourself, we have to be grateful enough they’re subbing this :<

For those of you amv creators you should be able to load any format your computer plays using directshowsource and avisynth, refer to http://google.com/ for help with this. We won’t be releasing avi again, ever. Anything you see on TokyoTosho or other such sites are unofficial and there shouldn’t be any discussion pertaining to that on this site. I will be deleting any comments asking for an avi release from now on. For those of you who can’t get the mkv release to play regardless of what you try, you can always download an avi raw posted on http://tokyotosho.info/ and watch with the scripts we provide on the site. On a related note I will also be deleting any comments asking for the script. There seems to be one or two of these each release even though we have specifically stated where to find the scripts for each episode on the site. We always upload the script to the site immediately after we release the episode so just be patient.

Maybe you should google izanami/izanagi and read up on it, eh?

Thanks for your release guys, and for keeping up with fast releases.

Guys, it’s true that the audio(or the subs if you have softsubbed karaoke on) are delayed when using netbooks to watch HD videos, but that also depends on the netbook you use (mine is shit and it really happened). But I don’t think that an HD video is much of a problem for a PC. I can watch HD videos on a PC I bought about 8 years ago.

In a few words they are not lying. However be grateful enough that these guys are subbing this for us (remember that you’re not paying them). If you really need AVI then google is your friend. There are several pages with tutorials, links and all you need to know about converters and all out there. Do it on your own.

Also, do you have Haali Matroska Splitter installed? If so, make sure that under Options, Internal Filters: Matroska is UNchecked. (if using MPC)

Do you have your Audio Time Shift enabled by mistake? If you are using MPC, the setting is under Options, Internal Filters, Audio Switcher: on the right will be “Audio time shift.” Make sure it is not checked. If you’re using another player type, see if it has a similar option.

If you still have a fixed audio delay for some reason (not hearing it on mine), you can set a +/- value in the option mentioned above and sync the audio that way.

If none of the above works and you have an older comp, get CoreAVC. I used to use CCCP’s ffdshow with my old system and on 720p (h.264 encodes) the video always had to play catch up to the audio. Once I got CoreAVC, everything played in sync and smoother. It reduces the demand on the processor significantly.
