Now Streaming: Mobile Suit Gundam Z (subtitled)

Actually we boosted everyone to HQ mode for this one. But the old grainy stuff is always really hard to compress for streaming. (shrug)

Haven't gotten around to watching this on here yet, but can anyone tell me how the subtitling job is? I recently have been watching Glass Mask here and the subtitles are terrible (looks like someone tried guessing what a HK DVD sub was saying; They'd call the same thing two different names in the same sentence, spell people's names wrong, write awkward sentences, etc).

Why are people complaining about the quality of this very old show, I'm surprised it looks this good.

Unfair comparison? Maybe (though I did manage to accidentally choose one of the BDs handful of out-of focus frames). But the old adage is still true: free alone is worth nohting, it must be free and better. And I'm pretty sure I've seen BD rips around.

I'm not looking forward to Seed Destiny. Most overrated show ever.




Not to me. Sure it's not as good as it's prequel,but it's still a very good series. It's a hell of a lot better than it's live action movie G Saviour as well as SD Gundam. Though were bad and the one that was overatted was G Gundam. Sure it was a decent series when it showed on Toonami,but its medicocore at best.

Either way i like zeta cause in this one Char wasn't a lunatic unlike in the movie, and the main is a definate anti amuro which was a plus. Hope it's dub version comes out. they should re-release it on DVD but time they should get the rights to the OP and ED

BUT what they should really do is get double zeta dubbed cause for harcdore dubbers like myself, it don't make sense that zeta has one but it's sequel doesn't. Now that i'll be definately looking forward too. Also if they manage to get Gundam X and Turn A Gundam,that too will be a treat.

BTW, passively mentioning that you're capable of breaking my rip protection (RTMPe is encryption) is kind of a jerk move and is not going to win you any favors.

especially after the cap of the stream that you take is artificially blown up in a way that looks way worse than standard Flash fullscreen mode.

If you're expecting some sort of magical world where people can give you brand new 25Mbps 1080p video for free, you've pretty much ensured that your standards are so high that only piracy will satisfy you [...] Consumer broadband has its limitations [...] the capabilities of a small company to stream high bitrate video is limited as well.

Heck, Flash Player has limitations.

If anything, it was a jab at the futile nature of DRM in general, not a personal attack.
Incidentally, I'd never even heard of RTMPE until 2 days ago. Obscuring the true remote file URL an interesting idea, at least, if an ineffective one.

Actually, I specifically used the flash player's built-in scaler rather than setting the flash player to native and upscaling it myself.

Stage6, may it rest in peace, had no trouble streaming high-resolution high-bitrate video. In a purely technical sense, there are zero barriers to at least high-broadcast-quality HD streams. S3 and similar services are dirt cheap now too, so the start-up costs of a beefy streaming server farm are no longer an absolute barrier.

I hope the h.267/vorbis issue can be straightened out soon enough that HTML5 video can render awkward flash video players obsolete.

The screenshot looks like it must have side-stepped the built-in antialiasing that Flash does with the GPU. Actual full-screen playback looks nowhere near that bad.

That would be nice, but HTML5 has no content protection at all, so as pointless as DRM might be (and I hesitate to call it DRM when it's not downloadable) content owners are still going to require it.
