@Bankai:
My laptop’s only a year old. And it’s not “crummy”.
You really need to stop being so MKV-obsessed. It’s not the be-all-and-end-all.
Just like Simmian said there are very few fansub groups that only release in MKV. And even more interesting is when those groups who do both have a HD and SD release have a counter of who’s downloading what.
9/10 times the Xvid version is the most popular.

Yeah most groups do release a HD but most also release an SD version. At the moment there are very few that release HD only.

Really? My experience has been that most groups will release HD.

@bankai

I don’t know how many anime shows you watch but virtually ALL groups still release SD versions, there a actually VERY few groups who only release HD.

You won’t “…buy a new [laptop] just to play MKVs”

You’ll be using it to be more productive with like Office related stuff like typing out documents, doing research online, making powerpoints, making excel spreadsheets…

A slow computer is a poor excuse these days for spending so much time on the computer to get like papers and projects done.

And I thought I had a crummy laptop.

>_>

If XviD is the only thing that you can play, you really need to upgrade to a new laptop soon as most groups do not release XviD-Avi releases anymore. There are some, but most don’t and pretty soon none will.

Many thanks to the people of Animanda and AonE for keeping SD alive. Real good work.

Oh thank you for the xvid avi version. Very very much appreciated.

An Xvid version would really be appreciate. MKVs don’t mix well with my old school laptop and like Guru I’m not about to buy a new one just to play MKVs.

I was really happy to see you guys doing it in SD. So please, if possible of course, carry it on.

Dunno, if Bankai is related to this site or the fansubbers at all, just had to get this off my chest. Fuck elitism, if you wanna be l33t, buy the DVD’s/BluRays.

@Bankai
H264…no prob. HD… problem. Where is the H264 in SD, if Xvid’s so lame?
You are the only group out there, who still releases a SD for Michiko. I won’t buy a new PC just for a series. A HD in reasonable quality anyone can get elsewhere. If you start releasing in SD, stick with it.
Just my two cents, sorry.
