Quote from: "SuperKawaiiNeko"Whats digisubbed anime?
Digitally subbed anime. As in they're distributed over the internet by downloading instead of the old conventional way of distributing VHS fansubs.



While I enjoy the quality of digisubbed anime and how fast they come out, I'd rather watch anime on my TV.

You enjoy the quality of digisubbed anime?  I guess you have pretty low standards then.  Even traditional VHS fansubs look better, even with the glaring video flaws (I find dot crawl is especially annoying, but cross colorization's pretty bad too).  I suppose I just get more demanding with my video....

digisubs have decent quality.  rarely you get a good one.  usually tho, i prefer to hit the VHS or better yet, get the official DVD! :D

KimaLucifer

DVD's are the best.... but I think I'm pissed at my version of spirited away..... I heard that people in Japan with a DVD version of spirited away are too because that version is sorta tinted red.

Cloud:

Digisubs are never, technically speaking, "good" quality.  To make the files more readily accessible for download, they are compressed.  Compression = loss of quality.  It is slightly less noticable when it's a DVD rip (as compared to a TV source), but it's always there.  Also, most digisubs are encoded in the DivX codec.  I've noticed what I assume are inherient flaws in the format.  The most noticable being blocky artifacting.



Kima:

Yah, the Japanese Spirited Away DVDs have a red bias.  Some people are actually sueing Buena Vista (the distributor) for a refund on their discs.  Read about it here.

Most VHS fansubs I've seen are like 2nd and lower generation. Masters and 1st gens are great. But yeah, there are bad digi anime, too. Ones with a TV source may not be as good, but they're reasonable. I guess digisubs are easier to get, so that's a big plus.

RyuHayabusa

but you have to get in line in IRC or other P2P programs and then it becomes a hassle. I'll just wait for the official DVD's or HK DVD's... (gah, going to be flamed for that one)  :twisted:-fa, fa, fa, fa!

*FLAAAAAAAAAAAME!* XDXD jk

Well, if you can tolerate the baaaaaaaaad HK subtitles, go ahead.



You just need to get the right places for easy dl on IRC. Of course there are times where all queues are full, but I don't have that problem too often. There are also people who upload anime to HTTP servers, so that's real cool. ^^
