iPhone 3GS #1 in Japan

[wolvorine4424]

Whats going on here?

Keitais, iphone and Video Codecs??? I dont get it.

[IonNuke]

All in all I doubt the iphone3Gs can be used to enjoy HD material to the fullest whether in Japan or not. Woof!

[wolvorine4424]

Nope...

iphone 3GS cannot be loaded with HD movies or videos...



When I get something from iTunes in HD, iTunes also downloads the SD version of what ever you get inorder to upload to the iPhone...

HD contents are not uploaded to the iPhone, Only the SD version of it.

Nice info...

How does Perfect Dark work???
Please PM me if it needs to be off the board.


I found it and installed it, but its not working or I'm missing something.

I'm OFFLINE, How the hell do I go Online with this?

[IonNuke]

I guess threads about Iphone doesn't really work right in the middle of a Keitai forum eh?

[hakujin]

I mean, that's how it is released. Fansubbers uses it as source but it's release fro people in Japan.

And I'm sorry if you don't think that's applicable, but after you mentioned anime I decided to put in my 2c as a fansubber. This is how things are done in Japan, and while they might be different from the rest of the world, that's hwo they do it. Japanese still doesn't support Unicode, so you should expect a few things to be different. As to whether my rant even applies to the rest of the world, this -is- a Japanese product centric forum.

It nots what I think. It *really* isn't related. The only thing I said related to anime was it was the catalyst to mkv gaining popularity. I didn't say nor imply that anime is rls. exclusively in mkv, lol. I wouldn't know or care. That's all.

BTW, this thread's pretense is a global product.

175mb avi and 2gb ts in this day and age are certainly contrary to what you said.

How so? Pls. be specific. Quote what I said and tell me how that is contrary or even relevant. I'll wait here...

I'm not here to tell you the benefits of H.264, I have enough trouble explaining it to Xvid lovers as it is. They're the reason why Xvid is still well and alive, not you who actually bothers to try mkv. Unfortunately, these lee chers make up a sizable population of downloaders.

Of course, I'm telling you the benefits of h.264/x.264. mkv/h.2.64.x.264 is popular and gaining popularity all the time, nuff said on the subject ok... I think we got off on the wrong foot due to a misunderstanding where you were speaking for the popularity in Japan and I was speaking for Western world (where the overwhelming majority of video/film content happens to derive from). But ts is still a crappy format no matter where you are

No, do you see many hardware devices with mkv support? This not about the underlying codec, but the container.

Yes, a gazillion HTPCS (by definition a hardware device) and sure there are some appliances that are starting too as well... I believe popcorn and WDTV for instance. Plus, any appliance that will run xbmc (apple TV or xbox 1 for instance. PS3 with simple remux MKV2VOB. Tons of guides/zero config transcoders to play mkv on 360, while not natively play mkv, also speak for the container's popularity and ubiquity.

I'm sure I could find even more appliances if I were interested but I'm not... think I've proven my point though.

No, I read your comment correctly.
All HD is aired in HD. All of everything in aired in HD -- even SD material, which is still prevalent nowadays.

No, I really don't think you understood based off your last comment.

You seem to be unaware of Japanese internet connection speeds; quick fiber imeplementation/mature ADSL infrastructure means that 100mbits fiber uncapped is easily obtained for a reasonable price. This makes it economical for Japanese to upload BDISO. And it is not just two guys in a basement; it is the quality H.264 rips that are few and far between and not the BDISO (cue 40 part RARs; they do add up to 25gb but they are willing to share it)

Japan is a microcosm of the scene. x.264 rips are abundant and account for most of what's worth watching in the mainstream world. ts are very inefficient codec; waste of space and very limited container which require very high bitrate for comparable quality. All you've proven is there's a niche market for it, something I haven't dispute from the get-go. You just misunderstood my context.

Who is in the microcosm now? I would tell you about Japanese file sharing scene, but you don't seem too interested because it will be 'limited to Japan'. Let me tell you anyway: there are no Japanese releases on Usenet.

Yes exactly... for you to presume I was talking about Japan is folly (despite this thread), because... in the context of our conversation, It's obvious I'm in U.S., and it's obvious U.S. film and television dominates the globe. I say this as someone who appreciates a great deal of film from Japan, S. Korea, France, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Canada etc. but the proof is in the pudding. What you are using to justify your argument is use l33t extreme minority (e.g. 0 day, private ftp, etc.) which doesn't speak for the overall popularity of mpeg2ts, just diminishes it more in fact. Even many popular Japanese mastered BRD are in x264 or mkv and they are on usenet so you're wrong there (e.g. Akira, Ghibli, Ghose in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop,, Memories, Paprika, TekkoKonkrito, to name but a few).

By the way, here is a BDISO for your perusal:

1. [BDISO](090729) けいおん 第1巻 初回限定生産版 (img+cue+rr3%).rar
14,650,151,326 bytes

14GB BDISO in RAR, no parts, even.

Well, that was anime, so you might complain. Here is a theatrical feature:

6. [BDISO][映画] ティアーズ オブ ザ　サン　TEARS OF THE SUN.ISO
23,338,090,496 bytes

23GB.

2. Incommensurate as anticipated. You have contradicted nothing. I didn't say there were no BDISOs... I said they were further and fewer in between for obvious reason. Doh!

[stevetam]

mmm so you its just a waste of time. So downloading the SD will save money and bandwidth (also crappy usage cap)

[wolvorine4424]

Nevermind... I'm IN.

ONLINE now. OMG now this is interesting

[IonNuke]

Nevermind... I'm IN.

ONLINE now. OMG now this is interesting

Were you online before but it was saying you were offline???

I'm so confused by all the tangents in this thread... i'm gonna sit here and eat my phone. **puts phone in mouth**

[fireshark]

Good god, IHBT.

By the way -- isohunt tells me 94179 results for MKV, too many results for AVI.

How so? Pls. be specific. Quote what I said and tell me how that is contrary or even relevant. I'll wait here...

"Majority of releases in h.264."

Yes, a gazillion HTPCS (by definition a hardware device) and sure there are some appliances that are starting too as well... I believe popcorn and WDTV for instance. Plus, any appliance that will run xbmc (apple TV for instance).

A HTPC is not a hardware device and you know it, I'm not here to nitpick whether a PC is a "device" or not, we all know they are just as capable of playing mkv's as the computer in front of you.

No, I really don't think you understood based off your last comment.

You are free to look up ISDB-T; all digital transmissions are in 1080i.

Yes exactly... for you to presume I was talking about Japan is folly, in the context of our conversation. It's obvious I'm in U.S., and it's obvious U.S. film and television dominates the globe. I say this as someone who appreciates a great deal of film from Japan, S. Korea, France, UK, Brazil, Mexico, Canada etc. but the proof is in the pudding. What you are using to justify your argument is l33t extreme minority (e.g. 0 day, private ftp, etc.) and doesn't speak for the overall popularity of mpeg2ts, just diminishes it more in fact.

I mention the comparision to private FTP's for your benefit. Like private ftp, OpenNAP is not widely used. What is, are those three P2P programs. They are the majority of distribution channels.

2. Incommensurate as expected. You have contradicted nothing.

As if you want me to prove you wrong by listing all the BDISO ever released?
Why don't you take a look at this.

This is ridiculous; you can enjoy your h.264 like you want it. I'm pushing for H.264 too but this is simply the way things are.

I'm going back to where I can be trolled in peace.

[stevetam]

thats nothing new, I've started eating at the metal of my nokia!

[fireshark]

are you sure that's not painted plastic?

[IonNuke]

So I should one up you and eat my SH905i..... maybe some Japanese mayonnaise and some soumen would be good too.

[fireshark]

I'll take the remains! assuming it goes through in one piece

love the precious metals inside eh
