Does anyone know a good site for news about upcoming HK dvds - kakoi_sugoi_yama - 03-02-2003
I haven't had that yet. I do fear it though, but I had already had tapes degrade in quality. So I guess it is an okay trade off. How long did you own the DVD before the rot kicked in? :?

I thought he was kidding about that rot thing. Never heard of it before. What happens?

It already had dvd rot when I bought it, that what happens when you pay 3$ for a brand new bootleg HK movie DVD. I bought 12, one had dvd rot, another one doesnt read well and 2 have major audio sync problems

It means it won't play anymore. I'm pretty sure the media on the disk gets some sort of mold or something. :? :? :?

What is DVD rot? Can somebody please explain.

DVD rot is when the glue that holds both layers start rotting, you can see white patches on the DVD when it happens, the companies refuse to say that its a problem but it is. Doesnt happen to often though, keep your dvds in a dry and cool place and you wont have a problem

Actually I think it is when the media loses it's stick. I think it has something to do with the adhesive they use. :mrgreen:

The movie still plays but it doesnt read well, the picture breaks up and audio skips, havent tested it out on my DVD rom so far, I bet it will work fine on it, it always does.

I need to go buy a DVD rom. I also need to buy a new computer to go along with it.
I still haven't been able to watch all of that glorious stuff you gave me. My com sucks too much, but I went to Darks house today, and watched Wolf's Rain. Very good. I also watched the first two episodes of X with him. Very good. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hey, how'd you see Wolf's Rain? I though it wasn't out on any DVD's yet.

Hehe, I'm now mastering the art of ripping DVDs of my HKs. Encoding Mahoromatic right now but it takes forever on my computer.

I've got up to episode 4 now, I think the fansubs are at 6 now and so is the show in Japan. These fansubbers are fast these days, they can release an episode a day or two after it was aired in Japan.
The Macross Zero episode I sent you has incredible quality, perfect DVD rip.

Maybe I'll see it over at Darks house. My com can't play em. My processor is too slow.

Hmm, how fast is your computer, I used to watch fansubs on my 300 celeron without too much of a problem.
Make sure you install the XVID codecs and ffdshow if you watch the Macross episode, and use BS pplayer. It will look great, trust me. I encoded it to SVCD, meaning it loss a bit of quality and watched it on my TV, my brother thought it was a dvd.
