AVI or MKV?

**Ryouko** · Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:46 pm Post subject: AVI or MKV?

I'd like to get ya'll's opinions on this matter. We are currently working with encoding the DVDs for Beast+ in preparation of releasing those fansubs, and now we have more options for high quality. We definitely plan to release in MKV, which will be beautiful lossless quality, just as if you are watching the DVD directly.

However, would you guys still like to have an AVI release? Mind you, it may mean a bit longer time inbetween releases to do so, but if you all want it, we will surely do it. Please answer the poll or leave your comments. :)

I voted for MKV, and i'd add with .ass subs, not hardcoded one.
for the codec, may I suggest x264+aac?

my 2 cents ^_^

Really I'd prefer PS3/360 compatible x264 MP4's, but thats just me Smile

. MKV's are fine.

Why would it make release time longer?

Which also means two files have to have final quality checks as well to make sure there's no glitches...

I liked AVI myself, I know MKV is a high res, but if I can burn it to DVD format, I got no problem. Just love to see more releases from Puku and WPP, but I understand life outside of fansubbing, so no stress!

Actually I think we're going to lean towards MP4 instead of MKV, simply so others can play them on their 360s and PS3s. :3

Well, maybe. XD We're having sound timing issues with MP4, and if it can't be solved, we'll have to go with MKV.

It looks like Puku's side will be encoding solely in MKV. If Wolfpack Productions choses to release an AVI version then they're completely free to.

I have the first episode completed in my hands, and it looks beautiful. :)

Oh, encoding in MKV is remarkably faster. We can encode an entire episode in like... 6 minutes. AVI formats take far longer to work with.

Episode 25 of Beast has finally passed the quality check stage! Episode 24 is fully ready and in distro, 23 had to have one typo fixed that we initially missed. I am pushing the best I can to have these last 3 episodes released asap.

Encoding in 6 minutes?!!! 6 MINUTES?!! You'll have these first 10 subs out in a day! How fast do you guys think I can edit the remaining 16 episodes?! Shocked

LOL, I'm gonna be worked to death this month...pray for my soul.

lol, I'm sorry. XD But I'm very excited that we will be able to release Beast+ far more quickly than we went with Beast.

Once Beast+ is done and over with, we'll be moving on to help out WPP with Axess, hopefully. Though WPP will still be handling the majority of it... in comparison to Beast+, where Puku is handling most of the production.
