animegirlalways, first off, glad you're finally able to burn eps okay. ^.^ Re the laptop problem, that definitely sounds like a codec issue. If you're not completely set on using Windows Media Player, there's a great free player called VLC at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ that should play those AVI's...

I second the Atlas and twisted Dr. Tenma idea - I think they could go hand in hand together in a story, especially since Tenma is Atlas's creator. I agree Astro must always face hardship, but do so with his own brand of cheerfulness and bravery as only Astro can. Another tact they could take is a pl...

I am sure the Nero program is the problem, since the videos play fine on Windows Media Player. I haven't tried burning any of my fansubed anime downloads in some time, so it may be something happened to the program and I didn't know it until now because of the fact I haven't burned anything for awh...

Rightright; I'm familiar with the visual; I just wondered if perhaps Astro helped them "offscreen", but you're right, the joke makes much more immediate sense.

Possibly Dragonrider1227, I dunno. I find it curious there aren't more videos as I'm sure it'd be neat to watch. =)

Some of the stuff I rewrote was just for accuracy, or for stylistic purposes. "Inspector" Tawashi is more accurate than "Detective" (having the character bio screens helps), he works for the police (keisatsu literally translates to this; the Korean subs say he works for the "Special Investigations ...

I took the Korean subs as a base and rewrote most of the lines, fixed punctuation, made the worker robots speak in ALLCAPS, etc. A couple of times, the meaning was unclear, so i had to look up the Japanese subs for the same line to translate from a dictionary, and once I had to build the kanji up f...

I made a V1 hardsub for Episode 01. It's not as good as I would like due to unforseen problems popping up during encoding, but I feel the subtitles are much better with a smaller font, a better position, and writing by a native English speaker. :lol: I'm uploading it to DepositFiles and MegaUpload ...

animegirlalways, DVD-9 is dual layer. Basically, single layer is about 4.7 GB (DVD-5) of data, whereas DL discs can hold 8.5 GB of information (DVD-9); I think they just round up to get those numbers. The reason you need DL for these ISO's (actually, probably only the first 3) is they're each over 6...

Hey all, So I'm reading Mr. Shodt's quite excellent and entertaining The Astro Boy Essays , and there's quite an interesting section about Robodex, a Japanese robotics show focusing on personal robots and dreams of the future of robotics instead of industrial robots (which most shows seemed to focus...
