Title: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 11, 2009, 01:54:53 AM EDIT: The DVD has been ripped and is currently being seeded. The torrent is attached to this post. Alternatively, you can view the different segments on either Veoh (http://www.veoh.com/users/NagaFanatic) or Viddler (http://www.viddler.com/explore/Jessicat/).
A few screenshots from the documentary and scans of the cover/insert/disc can also be found HERE (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v430/Jessicat_715/SMT/SMT3_DocuSS/?start=all). Enjoy! :3 ~~~ Guess who's back? :p [I thought the forums here died for some reason o.O] Anyways, I picked up a shiny new copy of the SMTIII documentary that was released waaay back around the time the first [non-maniax edition] was released. Although I don't understand much, it's divided into 2 main parts: SMT history, and the making/behind the scenes/commentary about Nocturne. Extra features include short trailer-like movies describing the main SMT series past, CG to 3D demons [with a few animations], and a personality test/thing to see what your alignment is. Now, only the first half of the documentary [history part] has Japanese subtitles, the other half has 2 Japanese audio tracks [I'm guessing the one I wasn't using was surround sound]. No English subs obviously. Now most of this stuff I figure is pretty dated by now, but there is some neat stuff too [if only my PSCS3 would stop crashing after opening 5 pics at a time so I can convert the screenshots I have to anything but BMP ;>> I'd have posted them here now.] The Alpha version of the game, SMT: Kerberos [a tech demo thing I think], and the alternate places/opening featuring Lilith [SMTIII: Vortex] were noteable as they were most of the parts that weren't interview scenes ^^; Now, if I can figure out how to rip this all up, would it even be worthwhile? [it's bigger than those Devil Children eps I ripped earlier I'm sure o.O] It is kinda old news and it's mostly talking with Kaneko, Cozy, and the rest of the dev. team. Sooo yea, some opinions would be great. Or at least chat until I can eventually get these screens up here ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 11, 2009, 05:53:19 AM Sounds interesting. I think some people might just like to see video of the people that make SMT happen.
Of course we're presently in no position to host video. Though I'd be happy to download a copy from somewhere once it's ripped in case we ever can host such a thing. Best option would be to upload it to Youtube or some other embed-able video hosting service. Then we could definitely make a page of it. I'd love to see all the vids on the old site I had to take down put on Youtube as well, so we could put them back. I'm supposed to be developing a Media Library system, so we don't even have to host images and stuff directly. Also so people can just upload stuff with impunity to the site, like a giant scrapbook or something. I'm just trying to find a way to make anyone give a hoot about the website in this day and age. Though I gotta admit, I don't have a ton of enthusiasm lately. In fact the truth is the only reason I really have been developing the site for a long time, is because I'm sort of using it to develop a template for future websites and teaching myself internet tech. PS: Always good to see some signs of life around here :smokin: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 11, 2009, 11:10:45 AM Awesome! Welcome back, Jessicat!! :biggrin: I'm interested as always, sounds cool! :grinani:
Btw Jessicat, I hope we can keep up with the "Obscure Megaten Merchandise" (http://www.digitaldevildb.com/bbs/index.php/topic,417.75.html) thread. Those were good times. :keke: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 11, 2009, 02:55:56 PM If you think you can be much of a fixture around here, let us know if you'd like to help with moderation. You don't technically have to do anything really, but it would look better at least if Emilio didn't have to bear the brunt of it all (truthfully there's nothing much to moderate -- but a larger onboard "staff" presence might make others feel more comfortable pitching in :sweatdrop:)

[SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 12, 2009, 06:47:27 PM What's really going on here with all the 3D Persona 2 and Devil Summoner characters? Is this not about SMTIII? :5innocent2:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 12, 2009, 07:35:51 PM What's really going on here with all the 3D Persona 2 and Devil Summoner characters? Is this not about SMTIII? :5innocent2: Ah, they were going on about the transition from 2D to 3D I think [well, SMTIII was the first SMT game in actual full 3D I believe, I'm guessing those other characters were practice tests, or maybe a potential crossover that failed ^^; Yay for knowing 0 Japanese XD]Also, just added scans of the DVD cover, insert, and disc to the image page too [nothing exciting, but yea XD] Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 15, 2009, 06:20:14 AM What forums would you like to help Moderate? Mostly the moderators are encouraged to help us pass out karma when users do something of special merit. It's kind of a way of showing seniority/influence around here, should users choose to exercise it.
Moderators can give karma, but any user can report a post for karma (or naughtiness) ...which then gets passed to the acting moderators. We've been pretty lax about karma lately, but we try to encourage contributors to post records of their contribution in their credits thread in the SoS board which can be used for a karma round up (and is the only real accounting of credits effort) I will add you to all the game boards if you don't mind. Just because Emilio is the only user on those boards... though actually he is the only real acting moderator around here (if we ever needed one) Neao posts only once in a blue moon, so assuming he's not reading. DevilRy went all "The Exorcist" on the website. I'm just leaving his stuff around in case he ever feels like returning (this place needs any help it can get) ...he contributed a lot, but he actually demanded I remove his stuff, and stole away a copy of MIP I'd lent him as retribution (because I wouldn't) sooo.... PS: Any chance of sharing the DVD image somehow? Or are you just resigned to ripping the video portion? Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 15, 2009, 11:59:55 AM Actually I took a look at the disc contents and the chapters are divided weirdly; I need to finish reading up on the program I'm using [last week was really hecktic, and me and my family went out for most of the day saturday ^^;] not avoiding it on purpose tho :p I guess some of the interactive/static image stuff isn't rippable either o.O
[wow, this forum is phone-friendly XD] *edit* Phew, its nice to be back on an actual computer XD DVD movie ripping is happening as I type, though I think it'll be bits and pieces unless I can figure out how to merge all the chapter AVIs ^^; Here's hoping I've got the quality to dimensions ratio down; I kept getting the extremes [ugly JPEG-ish fuzzyness or 20+MB per minute of movie o.O] so here's hoping it's a tolerable medium [and that my laptop doesn't melt/crash ;>>] Ah, I'm daft, a DVD ISO/Image/thing might work even better... Although that would also require another program to find and figure out how to use XD [that's the problem of specialized programs; I swear I have a zillion codecs as well o.O] Some people are dumb like me and would rather watch it straight up too you know? [And it probably will be kind of huge; about 4.12GB of huge x.x] I guess I'll try for both and hope I have enough HD space by the end of this ^^; As for mod duties, I guess I could take charge in the "MT Uncensored" area, since that's where I'm most active anyways ^^; I admit I've never really paid much attention to the Karma system, I've seen it on other forums but never really cared about it, lol. I can't really say I've contributed much here other than my extreme Devil Children dorky-ness :p [that reminds me, I have more cards to scan too XD] Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 16, 2009, 03:30:58 PM And another small update: got the main documentary parts ripped [history, making of, and a small other chapter I don't remember seeing o.O] and uploading to my veoh [they're JP, no subs]. I'll try to get more screenshots of the static/non-movie parts and the short trailer-ish profiles ripped later today, but no promises [my laptop likes to crash/overheat a lot -_-]
PS, sorry for the double-post, can't edit on phone mode ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 16, 2009, 08:17:49 PM You don't have to worry about double posting anymore, it's OK in here. :wink:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 16, 2009, 10:24:10 PM We would prefer if you double-posted (triple of whatever) if your posts are more than a few minutes apart. But it's always safer to just double-post!!
I will try to find a phone simulation solution and make the website more phone friendly/cool. I knew the website supported this sort of thing, but have never looked into it. I know because the theme editors always default to mobile mode. PS: I don't think your posts should be saying N/A ...I'm sure I meant to take that out eventually :smokin: Funny though... If you're trying to make a custom subject, please let me know. Either way, this is a bug~ Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 16, 2009, 10:26:36 PM It's such a habit from other furms I go to ^^; ANYways, more importantly, the main documentary parts are fully uploaded on Veoh. Check it out HERE (http://www.veoh.com/users/NagaFanatic). So far the 2 documentary part [history and making of nocturne] and some random other chapter [looks like a discussion/interview about nocturne with...some people. lol]. Should show up online to watch very soon if it isn't already ^^;
Working through ripping the small trailer/synopsis things still, might not get those viewable until later tomorrow ^^; Enjoy! :3 [Yea, the mobile version is very basic, no pics, but good if you just need to pop in and see if anything new's happened ^^;] *edit* yea, the "N/A" appeared there on my topic titles in phone mode; it only gives me one text box to type stuff, so I dunno how that got there since I didn't type it in o.O Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 01:32:53 AM Oh yeah, that totally explains the N/A actually!! Now I'm wondering what the mobile view looks like...
Can you explain to me the advantages of Veoh versus Youtube? Could we host Veoh stuff on the website and not expect it to disappear for that matter? Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 07:27:49 AM I found a Winwap emulator that is free, and a Smartphone emulator that is 23$ shareware. Both see the bbs in different ways that are probably custom programmed. Wordpress doesn't have any wap facilities installed however. I thought it did, but now I remember looking up what the alternate Wordpress mode was, and it was Right to Left reading (I thought it was phone mode because it was so underdeveloped)
To be honest I'd hate to use the internet this way (and as you can guess I don't get cell phones -- though I love subnotebook portables) I might try to make the smartphone service a little better before my free-trial runs out, but I doubt I will get into it. The website's budget isn't enough to pay for the license unfortunately. It can't even pay for a year of hosting as is :sweatdrop: PS: I will look into making the main website as phone friendly as possible... Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 07:32:55 AM ^A two second fix for the N/A :biggrin:
And a bug becomes a feature [*bows*] Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 07:58:33 AM I think I remember being warned against downloading Veoh's software. Also I remember the site telling me I could only watch so many hours at a time :confused:
Edited: Maybe I'm thinking about about a different website?? Wikipedia says Veoh is fairly straight-laced. Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 17, 2009, 08:15:30 AM Oh! The subforum text now shows as a different colour for new replys.
I think that's the only new change I notice tho ^^; As for veoh, when using their external uploader, there's no time or size limit for what you put up. No watch limits either that I know of [megavideo has that, its so annoying]. Or wait, I think you might get time limits for really long uploads [like full length movies] but I haven't encountered that limit lately, not sure if it's because of being logged in there or not. I haven't checked out the main website yet, only because I have the forum bookmarked ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it?

Quote from: Veoh "Veoh is no longer available in GUATEMALA. If you are not in GUATEMALA or think you have received this message in error, please go to veoh.com and report the issue." It's no longer in Guatemala? What a shit :xd: I haven't had that kind of problem with any other site on the net. Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 08:18:56 AM ^Funny, I was just reading about this on Wikipedia :tongue:
The only plus for Veoh is long vids and downloads. It's kinda like a corporate service more than a website. It thinks of itself as a USA television channel on the internet :rainbow: Two words: Michael Eisner Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 08:23:11 AM Oh! The subforum text now shows as a different colour for new replys. I think that's the only new change I notice tho ^^; I think that was always that way (I noticed it when I tried that Smart Phone simulator) If you mean the fix I made... I fixed your posts that said N/A. Now they say something different (hint: it's cute and informational) Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 17, 2009, 03:57:42 PM Ohshit, I didn't know veoh discriminates against foreign IPs too -_- well, guess there's the catch; would anyone know other upload alternatives? ^^;
And yea, on my BB pearl browser, before anything was changed, there was no indicator for new topics [unless it was an image; I have those disabled by default ^^;] Crap, one more problem to solve -_- I have a couple random chapters uploaded on veoh, just need to add the detail data before it finalizes that. Then I'll try ripping the actual disc and see if I can find somewhere to upload that too Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 17, 2009, 05:10:56 PM I definitely would not normally do so for just any videos, but I will download these via Veoh (or wait for an image rip one) to back them up until we can find something to do with them. These are fairly unique.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 17, 2009, 07:08:26 PM Okay, I've finished adding the extra info for all the small pieces of documentary left and the trailer/synopsis things [ugh, the random bits of Kaneko interview should've been in the "making of" chapter, would've been easier to deal with XD] So if you take a look on my profile, it should be appearing as I type. Now, to rip and upload...I don't think I know any places that can host gigantic [4+GB] files, I might have to rar and spilt [blah, complications for something so easy...no wonder people don't bother doing this sort of thing XD] sorry Emilio! ^^; If you want to host some or all of the DVD on your blog or something, let me know and I'll try uploading the pieces too, they're smaller than the DVD, but not as complete.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 17, 2009, 07:43:49 PM It would be freaking awesome to post download links for that material of yours in my blog! :cheessy: For the sake of my blog, I'm interested :rolleyes: (I'm always interested :xd:). Thanks Jessicat! :wink:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 17, 2009, 10:24:14 PM lol, ok, it's a but late now, I'll try to get the video portions up somewhere other than veoh soon ^^;
And frigging hell, does anyone know of a dvd iso ripper/extractor/thing that works on "real" dvds? I swear, I have 2 programs with a 3oomb limit, the others wouldn't go for it because of copy-protected bs or something XD It's a conspiracy! This is injustice! I don't know why this has to be so difficult for me, but it is ;>> Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 19, 2009, 01:52:16 AM That's a feature length DVD :eek:
For a full quality 4GB dl, I will have to use a remote machine -- because I'm on satellite service. Usually I can do this by just about any means, except some download service providers make you go thru a verification process which I can't do remotely (though often I can do it, and figure out the location of the actual download, and hand that off to the remote machine -- if the service doesn't try to validate the session/IP etc.) Any actual protocol like bittorrent or more standard stuff (ftp, etc -- as in "etcetera") is no prob. Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 19, 2009, 07:23:26 AM If I can ever find a way to actually rip this disc *headdesk* maybe I'll try making my first torrent ^^;
The weekend is coming, maybe I can get more accomplished after I get this wrapped up :p Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 19, 2009, 08:34:03 AM I don't think I've ever had much trouble with ripping/burning type stuff. Usually I have very nice software that came with the drive. But with this new portable I've been using ImgBurn (completely free ripping/burning suite I think) without any troubles.
PS: I've never started a torrent myself, but if you can point me to it, I will start downloading/seeding it for a while. I wonder if it would be cool to setup a bittorrenting coordination campaign with this site for Megaten related stuff. We can't host the stuff directly, but if enough of our users could pitch in, we could "host" some pretty interesting stuff indefinitely. I don't have a problem with encouraging game image bittorrents. Especially as long as CAVE is icing me out of my IMAGINE account :mad: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 19, 2009, 05:01:03 PM I don't think I've ever had much trouble with ripping/burning type stuff. Usually I have very nice software that came with the drive. But with this new portable I've been using ImgBurn (completely free ripping/burning suite I think) without any troubles.... Well crap, ImgBurn can't rip DVDs [well, not write protected ones anyways] *sigh* this is moronic. Guess I'll keep searching for something that works...Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 19, 2009, 08:40:50 PM Okay, another semi-update, found a site called Viddler (http://www.viddler.com/Jessicat/videos/); Not supposed to put tv shows blah blah up there, let's see how long they last [link leads to my profile, uploading and encoding the movies now, should show up in about 2 hours after this time of posting.]
*edited to change link* no one cares about my social profile, it's the movies that are the important part XD Also, uploading is getting really slow. Here's hoping once again my laptop doesn't implode x.x Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 19, 2009, 08:54:58 PM Everyone uses something called Alcohol to rip copy-protected cds (all cds are "write-protected" in a sense -- that's what rom means :biggrin:)
I don't guess I've ever in my life needed to rip a real copy-protected cd. I've ripped a lot of stuff mind you, from corporate media, but I've never run into something that standard software can't do. Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 19, 2009, 09:00:25 PM Viddler sounds like it might be nice. Let us know if there are any issues. I'd really like to find a service for embedding vids in the website. I don't mind Youtube personally, but the short video limitation (part 1, part2, ...) is maybe a pain for content uploaders. It even has hd now though, and there is probably a way to preformat stuff to make the process easier.

It even has hd now though, and there is probably a way to preformat stuff to make the process easier. Seems like there's a link right under the movie to embed it [I have all my uploads set to "public"] The History segment of the Documentary (http://www.viddler.com/explore/Jessicat/videos/1/) is fully uploaded/encoded and ready to watch for those being shunned by veoh XDAnd I just read the description of the alcohol 120% program, it won't rip discs protected with CSS [which is what's on this disc ;>>] but I have this other add-on I found that might be able to by-pass it. Ugh, so much work, and no compensation for it :p *edit* now everything but the "making of nocturne" and the synopsis/trailers are up; I'll get to that and hope viddler doesn't time out again ;>> Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 20, 2009, 07:36:24 PM Thank you very much, Jessicat!! :birdo: I'll watch it right away and hopefully I'll be able to find a way to post it on my blog. Any ideas? (wordpress doesn't "support" this Viddler site :sick:) For now, I'll just post the links to your videos.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 22, 2009, 07:03:19 AM Wordpress (the software) supports all html afaik. I don't know if maybe your Wordpress blog provider will not let you use certain types of html, but I'm guessing the Viddler embed "scripts" are just html and maybe some Javascript, which should pass thru Wordpress just fine.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 22, 2009, 07:05:00 AM Oh yeah... who knows which one of these characters is the "Cozy" guy that supposedly "directed" all the Shin games? What is the kanji for his name I wonder? Was his full name "Cozy" Okada?? Or did I just make that up? :cool:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 22, 2009, 09:05:44 AM Well I tried to embed the videos in one of my entries but nothing happen :sick: Anyway, the links are posted there now. :wink:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 22, 2009, 11:01:43 AM Cozy was the guy wearing shades all through the documentary XD It sounds like his name is "Koji" but I'm not sure ^^; I think he was introduced somwhere in the movie with a text blurb on screen too.
Also, seems like the trailer/synopsis things didn't upload on viddler [it uploaded but the encoding didn't happen... Or they got deleted O.o] I'll have to make a mental note to reupload them later ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 22, 2009, 05:57:36 PM Back again; that couple of synopsis/trailer movies, [SMTII and SMTIII] are re-uploading now.
Also, I can see how many times the movies are embedded :p The most embedded one is the "SMT History" with 9 [unless that's you Emilio reposting it in your blog XD], "Making of Nocturne" and "Kaneko Interview 1" with 3, and the rest follow with 1 or 2. So, who's posting these around the net? I wish I could see where from the stats too :p Are they somewhere here on the DDDB too? o.O Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Emilio Morales on June 22, 2009, 08:06:59 PM Well, I don't think I'm the responsible, since I just post the links once in my blog. mmm someone's must be following D3 steps. :tongue:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 22, 2009, 09:41:46 PM Well, they could at least register here and say thanks ;>> Sheesh. I'm only hoping someone bored will fan-sub it, but that might be a bit of a stretch XD
Maybe I need to stomp around lj or something and see if someone's blogg'd it o.O Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 23, 2009, 01:52:29 PM We could definitely use a page in our Anime/Cinema section eventually.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 23, 2009, 11:05:44 PM oh gods that OVA was horribly funny XD [the 80's techno OST one...with Loki in it. I haven't seen the other one yet XD] There's also that crappy Persona movie that came out around the same time as Persona: Trinity Soul, whatever came of it? [I guess it fell under the radar because it had nothing to do with Persona afterall? o.O] And the Devil Children anime series [YAY], the Devil Summoner live action thing, and.....I'm probably forgetting something.
ANYWAYS! if anyone is still following here, the DVD has [finally!] been ripped and is currently being seeded by me :3 I'm tethering the torrent to this post, here's hoping it gets through XD Enjoy damn it! :3 [should I re-rip my Devil Children episodes 1-6 in Italian? o.O Japanese ones are up at Veoh] Also I'll try to get together a torrent of just the movie parts [that are on Veoh and Viddler] incase they ever implode due to rule breaking, the apocalypse, or something XD *edit* Movie-only torrent tethered to the post too [I'm seeding both]. *edit again* added new torrents on pg 4 Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 24, 2009, 01:51:00 AM Be careful... I love that (is it an OVA?) more than any of the games :rainbow:
It's probably my favorite piece Megaten production. PS: I don't remember the soundtrack being "techno" but, it would be cool if you could help us get that OVA up on a video site so people could watch it from the website... Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 24, 2009, 02:01:20 AM Crud, my free dyndns account expired on me.... I'm gonna have to make a new account and wait for someone to send me the IP address of my remote machine in the morning... then I'll start the btdl/seeding of the iso.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 24, 2009, 07:37:23 AM The...wha? I guess that means you haven't tried downloading it yet? XD I was going to ask if it worked or not ^^; [To know if I made the torrent right or not ^^;]
Well, it wasn't really "techno", but it seemed, uh, 80's-ish? XD Nausicaa [of the Valley of the Wind] also had a bit of beats in the soundtrack. It's not bad, I like beats XD Though I don't really know when they'd ever actually fit into a soundtrack is all XD [Yea, I'm probably not making any sense :p] Dunno if all the "violence" in that OVA would break some rules on Veoh or not o.O [I have the English subbed version...it should still be around in my harddrive somewhere...] Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 24, 2009, 07:57:56 AM I'd love to see that anime on as many video hosting sites as possible :rainbow:
Word is we might be able to change over to cable sometime in the near future, but for now bulk upload is out of the question for me (from home at least) Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 24, 2009, 01:29:16 PM Ihave a machine on the iso torrent, but I'm not seeing any activity yet. I guess I'll just leave it alone and go to sleep :goodnight:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 24, 2009, 05:10:20 PM Ihave a machine on the iso torrent, but I'm not seeing any activity yet. I guess I'll just leave it alone and go to sleep :goodnight: o.O what time zone are you in? lol XDAh, the torrent tracker stats show most of them are not active/dead/refused, but a few are actually working, so there should be a connection happening sometime soon o.O [I don't plan on turning off my laptop for at least another 2 weeks, or until it unknowingly crashes/overheats/dies, whichever comes first XD] I'll see if I can get that OVA uploaded and possibly torrenting too [if I can find the old torrent; it's already setup so it'd be easier ^^;] I just want to know if it can/will actually download for other people before this thread is adjourned :p Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 25, 2009, 02:55:46 AM It looks like it didn't see anyone while I was sleeping. So I reset the torrent... still no activity just yet. Are you sure the iso torrent is good? Not seeing any errors.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 25, 2009, 09:28:17 AM Still nothing....

Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 25, 2009, 11:19:34 AM I think I'll try a torrent I know is good, just to be sure everything is cool on my end...
Seems cool.... Code: login as: michael Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 26, 2009, 09:50:50 PM Okay, here goes another try :p Used a bunch of torrent trackers that were in an active and successful torrent, and set the torrent to "Initial Seeding" mode [it should transfer better like that until it gets to be a more popular file ^^;]
Torrents are stuck to this post, so give them a try and see if this works or if I'm just torrent-tarded ;>> Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 27, 2009, 05:56:11 AM Still not moving/seeing anything :frown:
Have you talked to anyone successfully torrenting the files? What sort of activity are you seeing? I've never setup a torrent before... so I'm afraid I can't offer any real advice :sweatdrop: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 27, 2009, 12:48:47 PM It looks like everything is connected and working on my end though, no errors ;>> I uploaded the torrent to a couple torrent sites too, [Monova (http://www.monova.org/) and BTjunkie (http://btjunkie.org/): ISO (http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Shin-Megami-Tensei-III-Nocturne-Special-DVD-ISO/39525409d02370ff0ca8991eb7a82ad9a8466e0e56cc) & AVI (http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Shin-Megami-Tensei-III-Nocturne-Special-DVD-AVI/4114e84152366f863eb050cfc8c16e3f38c7917169f0), should appear on the sites in a couple hours], maybe that will help? I have no idea what else I could be doing wrong ^^; We need a second opinion, where's Emilio when you need him? XD
*edit* Monova's AVI torrent (http://www.monova.org/details/2869102/Shin%20Megami%20Tensei%20III%20Nocturne%20Special%20DVD%20%5BAVI%5D.html) is up and running; seems Monova's ISO torrent (http://www.monova.org/details/2869101/Shin%20Megami%20Tensei%20III%20Nocturne%20Special%20DVD%20%5BISO%5D.html) is somehow dead, though I am seeding it ;>> I'd try seeding on my desktop but I think it's running low on space [again] ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 27, 2009, 05:43:10 PM BTjunkie's iso is apparently gone as well. I'd really rather have the iso. This is the same torrent as the last one you posted on the site right? Or should I dl another? I've been leaving my peer on, but it still hasn't seen anything :5innocent2:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 27, 2009, 05:45:49 PM Where are you seeding the ISO from? Someone has to be seeding it to get things rolling :tongue:
PS: BTjunkie is a bitch. These torrents are only 15 minutes old and it's already de-listed them?? Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 27, 2009, 09:54:45 PM I didn't even see them go up on BTjunkie o.O
I tried the ISO on my desktop, it's just stuck on connecting [like it's connected but nothing is transferring and its got the 99:99:99 time thing ;>> duh] I'm going to compress the file [into an *.ace file] and then try re-torrent-ify-ing and see if that works -_-; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on June 30, 2009, 10:28:49 AM Any news?
PS: I've been working a lot with the Megaten Wiki boys lately. Both making some vanity edits and trying to patch up some of the sore spots around there (mostly trying to make the pages look better on our site from that end) ....anyway, I was made a sysop in fairly short order. Just so everyone knows I'm still fighting the good fight even those these forums are a dead zone :ninja: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on June 30, 2009, 10:09:49 PM I've tried compressing the file about 5 times now, the program either crashes at 100% completion [but there still something wrong with the file] or my laptop implodes ;>> I hate unnecessary file splitting though XD
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 01, 2009, 03:10:59 PM okay, well it crashed at 100% compression again, but let's see if this torrent will work XD It's compressed as an *.ace file [use Winace to open it]
*edit* we might have progress! ^^; Uploaded the torrent to Monova (http://www.monova.org/details/2880136/Shin%20Megami%20Tensei%20III%20Nocturne%20Special%20DVD%20%5BISO%5D.html) and it show up as not dead. Now to see if the file will actually transfer ;>> Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 01, 2009, 03:47:52 PM Seems to be working so far. 1 peer seen, no seeds. Just 265hrs to go (let's hope this picks up...)
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 01, 2009, 07:59:26 PM Not looking good??

Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 02, 2009, 07:16:00 PM Ah, I was going to post about that...my laptop seems to have died. Like, it won't start up because there's a harddrive error kind of died .__________.; I have the crappiest luck, srsly. Sorry, I'll see if I can rip it onto my desktop. but I'm low on space ^^;
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 03, 2009, 10:00:03 AM You should find out if it's the drive or the laptop that is bad. Either way I've been there (and back about a billion times)
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 04, 2009, 08:47:44 PM ...It's the laptop's harddrive I think; been kicking around that thing for a couple years. I gotta get rid of it anyways [it's a school rental XD]
ANYways, I recompressed the file, but since Winace didn't crash on my desktop the file is different somehow [it doesn't pick up with the old torrent o.O] And therefore, I had to make a new one ^^; Here's hoping it works :p Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 04, 2009, 09:42:54 PM 1 peers so far :smug:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 06, 2009, 01:33:12 PM Somehow my remote client process ended at 5.2%.
I've restarted it, but there doesn't seem to be any peers now... If no one else is interested in downloading this, maybe we should giveup?? Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 06, 2009, 06:10:32 PM ^It's moving again...
We could use more downloaders :doh: Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 07, 2009, 03:46:02 PM Yea, not sure where to spread the word though, other than somewhere in the veoh movie descriptions ^^;
Also, it might not be connècted all the tume because I turn off my computer when I go to bed ^^; Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 07, 2009, 05:29:12 PM Nighttime is when torrents really start to move, because access providers usually allow customers more bandwidth in the middle of the night when the internet is not so congested :sweatdrop:
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 07, 2009, 11:30:06 PM Nighttime is when torrents really start to move, because access providers usually allow customers more bandwidth in the middle of the night when the internet is not so congested :sweatdrop: I've always found that theory to be flawed as it's *always* nighttime somewhere in the world :p I would keep my computer on but it makes too much noise [I can't sleep ^^; My computer is in my bedroom, lol]. I turn it on as soon as I get out of bed and leave it on all day though. What's up with your connection? I have the port open in this end but it's going so slow o.O You have a firewall or something?Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 08, 2009, 08:22:58 AM It's on cable, no firewall... I'm guessing your upload speed is not as fast as you think it is. Generally really fast transfers happen over T3/T1 lines like on a campus, or maybe on some networks in Japan where the wires are much faster than they are in the states.
Anyway, I see very fast single peer downloads all the time, but this one is hanging around at standard upload speeds (you being the sole distributor) Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 09, 2009, 10:06:40 AM ^Dunno why I forgot to say that the most obvious reason downloading (and p2p) is faster during the wee hours is because service providers tend to open up their "flood gates" because their expectation of heavy traffic is not so high. Also many networks handle scheduled synchronization (dl/ul) tasks like system updates in the middle of the night so it's good to make sure things go fast so they're done by morning.
Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 13, 2009, 02:29:22 PM I just remembered to add you (Jessicat) to the moderator role for some of the boards. If nothing else it looks better this way :redface:
I will also add you to the Global Moderator group before I forget. There was some technical reason we had to do this which I forget... maybe it was karma related?? In case you're wondering... your name shows up first in the mod list because I'm guessing your account predates Emilio's. Ie. that's not something that can be changed. Title: Re: Rip it or ditch it? [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on July 15, 2009, 10:51:11 PM Time for some more Veoh ragging...
So I felt like watching Scorpio Rising, but it was down on Google video, so I clicked the Veoh link. Now the Veoh Compass plugin was installed and working, but it still kept telling me I had to install the compass before I could download. Fortunately Realplayer finally released a FF3 compatible plugin a week or two ago, and what do you know, it has no problem downloading Veoh's own vid. So don't install the compass (unless you like the idea of your browser constantly throwing videos at you to watch based on your browsing habits -- mostly when using google) PS: My SMTIII Documentary torrent finally finished downloading. It might be a while before I can burn it to a dvd, though theoretically I could phone someone to put a dvd in the tray / burn it remotely / and have it mailed out to me... but I will just wait until I'm in town. In the meantime I'm happy to seed it afaik... PPS: Wtf people?? Let's see some signs of life around here :kidic_death: Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on July 17, 2009, 10:40:12 PM Oh yea, that video compass thing was bloody annoying. Good thing I only had it on my laptop. The other program wasn't so bad though [I only used it to upload though XD]
Edited the first post to encompass all important stuff in the lengthy text walls of this thread :p I'll go see if I can throw this link around as many places as I can think of [which isn't really all that much actually ^^;] Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on August 19, 2009, 07:51:46 AM Ah man, snake eyes... after all that bittorrenting the file is corrupted.
Winace says it's corrupt anyway, but offers to continue. So it does, and then I mount the iso, and it will play some stuff from the beginning of the DVD, not sure how far... but all the titles/chapters go funny, and basically I couldn't get Windows Media player to go to one of the files. On nice thing about rar archives, is you can generate checksums for each piece, and if your download turns up corrupted, you just gotta re-download the ones where the checksums don't match. But anyway, I think soon it should be possible to arrange some way for you to upload the iso to the website. I know a 4GB VMware image was uploaded to this host without any trouble, so it should be possible. Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on August 30, 2009, 11:59:54 AM Damn it, seriously? I just extracted the one I have, it gave me an error [even though it didn't give me any problems compressing]. I could load some of the DVD fine, but it froze sometimes. Guess I need to find a program to rip it and do this all over again x.X
Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on August 30, 2009, 02:30:42 PM Well in general I don't think it's safe having files this size in one big chunk. I recommend using a compression method that can split the file up into multiple chunks (like rar) then using one of those programs that writes a text file with the checksum for every chunk, which you can run a program with that will say if any of the chunks are bad, so that that way you can just download the chunks that are bad.
Soon I think I will setup a subdomain which we can basically use like anonymous ftp, so everyone can upload large files to the host. Might call it comp.digitaldevildb.com, dunno. Still I don't think it's safe to have a 4GB file. To easy to be corrupted at any point during download. I guess technically you should always check your files to make sure they work before submitting them for download as well :smug: Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: Jessicat on August 30, 2009, 03:54:47 PM x.x but it didn't error out when I compressed it. Hm, that means I'd have to have it split into a zillion smaller rar files? I hate those ;>> meh, first I need to rip it again.
Oooh, filehosting smt stuff sounds cool too :3 Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on August 30, 2009, 05:23:55 PM I meant to add... I'm not sure how rar breaks up it's files or why. My guess is originally it was for storing them onto floppy disks. There is probably a better way to go about it. Such as a program that will split any file up and generate checksums at the same time. I wouldn't recommend rar as a format anyway, but it does have that functionality built in. I'm guessing you can choose what size the rar cabinets (or whatever they're called should be) but maybe not.
For a file like 4GB, I'd suggest breaking it up int about 20 or 40 pieces. We'd probably need large files broke up anyway eventually if I can ever get an html way of uploading files going. Problem is I don't know how to download folders via html, but there is probably a way. Would certainly not be cool to ask people to download that many files individually. There is just a basic problem with downloading files that size when you're dealing with data that expects itself to be 100% intact. It's very likely the large file will be corrupted somewhere after download, and then people have to re-download the file (more bandwidth) and it might happen again and again, and a lot of the times you just can't download/upload stuff that is really big under many conditions. Title: Re: Ripped it, now watch it! [SMTIII Documentary] Post by: yksehtniycul on August 30, 2009, 05:26:45 PM ^One thing I think there must be is a way to download a list of urls, then somehow have that then downloaded by another program. Like a bittorrent file only simpler.
