AonE vs Bakasan codecs/methods?

[Pvt Joker]

Everything from AonE plays perfectly for me, but every time I try downloading and playing something from Bakasan, I get lots of artifacts and my player always crashes.

Does anyone else have this problem, and do you know what the cause is?

TIA

This is likely to open up a can of worms....

why do people try to get bakasan's version... they always fuck you up... in my opinion with misstranslations on purpose and a torrent with a single seed so that people waste their time trying to get the episode

man this shit never stops does it....

well since i'm such a nice person, i'll explain it to you

anbu-aone episodes are encoded in divx

bakasan eps are encoded in xvid.

download the xvid codec at www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html)

and download the latest ffdshow at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53761&package_id=59355

to be honest i've downloaded a few bakasan eps before and they aren't too bad if bakasan did all the work himself

Yeah, AonE uses DivX *mumble mumble*
The only thing AonE does is use the DivX compatibility mode to fake a [DX50] header instead of [XVID] so that DivX codecs can play it (or recognize that they can). And AonE uses releases from the stable branch of XviD that can be replayed by most MPEG4 decoders, whereas others sometimes encode wtih the most actual XviD development snapshot.

The difference is the way the codec is used - and don't blame the codec for that. It's just the difference between a good and a bad encoder.

Even with the latest codecs installed, I still got tons of artifacts, until my player crashed.

So it's just a codec issue? I'll try to see if they play on a fresh install.

Although I prefer the AonE ones, it's nice to be able to see the Bakasan ones a couple of days before the AonE ones come out.

Thanks guys.

Elessar, How'd you pull that info? TIA.

This brings up a intresting question. I assume gotwoot is a arm of AonE. These forums are here so we can talk about release and etc.

But asking about another groups encoding methods, especially someone like bakasan on a forum where we do the same thing... i dunno.

Oops my bad. haha

Thanks for correcting me

Wait actually, i checked the properties in the older eps, and it says its encoded in Divx

The recent anbu-aone eps starting from ep 53 i think say XviD though
