480p is not high definition, that's standard definition. Please revise and try not to buff up your own site falsely from stuff like this, it only makes CR look incredibly stupid and amateur. We have screencaps of official CR stuff with redboxes marking all the wrong things, it's embarrassing. Just admit it's normal and move on. If you get 720p, then claim it, but if you continue to throw something like that around, then why don't we just call any definition HD from now on?

CoMix Wave Films is looking forward to people's feedback on it.

Cheers,

Rob

[since Key mentioned in his review that the English dub script varies little from the original subtitles so you can say the dub was pretty faithful.

You know, you seem to always defend the dub script no matter how far it strays from the original as well as condoning re-writing entire lines, which btw is not "translation". It's called making $hit up. If a fansub did the same you'd be jumping up and down in fits referring to Otaking and pointing out how untrustworthy the fansub translations are.

your talking acceleration which was not what I meant since virtually everything that reaches your monitor has to be processed by your GPU and a crappy GPU will give you crappy results regardless of CPU or GPU processing the media initially

The cheapest integrated GPU and the most expensive SLI setup possible will give the exact same, down to the pixel, video output unless the user is running massively different codecs. Video is not 'rendered' like games are, it's decoded.

Facepalm.

In addition to the 3D hardware, today's GPUs include basic 2D acceleration and framebuffer capabilities (usually with a VGA compatibility mode). In addition, most GPUs made since 1995 support the YUV color space and hardware overlays (important for digital video playback), and many GPUs made since 2000 support MPEG primitives such as motion compensation and iDCT. Recent graphics cards even decode high-definition video on the card, taking some load off the central processing unit.

You should also formally rescind your statement on 480p being high definition. Yes this is nit-picking, but it's a completely false claim. The most you could say is high quality, but even then it's just an empty phrase.

If you want to nit-pick, then you should also rescind your statement that 480p is standard definition; it's not. It lies somewhere between "standard definition" and "high definition", if you want to be precise. Calling 480p "high definition" is really a minor sin...

not by a country mile!

good cards do process video feed virtually any video that reaches the GPU which they must to even be passed on to your monitor at all.
