Do you have the program/skills to encode?
Used Virtual Dub Mod and Adobe Premiere Pro...

Are you experienced with encoding?
Muxed soft subs to hard subs for some videos... (avi)

Are you willing to take the time needed to encode episodes every tuesday/wednesday?
Mostly free on Wednesday... but it depends whether I am going to have exams/tests or not...

do you work well with a group?
Hahahaha... the more the merrier I would say....

can you show a sample of your work?
Sorry don't have anything to prove.. but I did ONCE muxed and encoded a Korean drama for my mom... (avi)


But I am willing to learn the roots and methods of encoding.

And for those com freaks out there....
Using an AMD X2 4800+ , 4 gig of ddr2 800mhz rams, and 750gb HDD for data + 320gb HDD for OS... hehehe...

I'll have our current encoder get a hold of you later.

Hi there Fabian.

Im wolfreborn im the current encoder here at higure-subs. Before i get to actually sending you a test i just want to ask you a few questions.

Firstly, i would like to know what type of codec are you most use to using, when you create an encode?

Also, i would like to know would you be willing to do a test encode for me? Ill send you everything you will need, the only thing i would want from it is the opening. Just cut it down to only the opening.

I wont give you the size i expect i would like to see what you would do. Also, ill leave the codec up to you aswell.

Anyways, Thanks for applying.
Hope to hear from you soon.

WolfReborn

LOl in terms of time period perhaps id hope by tomorrow night? lol im not big on making you have to do it right away. i have work all weekend which is why i say the sooner the better but otherwise i can wait till monday. in terms of codec i was just interested if your using the divx enjoy, weve tested them previously though and the only thing i found was it was much inferior in quality. (the main reason we were also trying to do the mkv container LOL) im not the greatest encoder out there but ive been getting al ot better than i use to be. so im open to possibilities. anyways i will send you a link for the raw and the sub files. ill expect you to get it done as soon as you can but dont rush yourself too much. also keep in mind if you wait till next week i will be busy working on the next episode aswell as another new file type.

Sorry im getting a tad bit tired lol still have tonnes of work to do, and im not paraphrasing, or grammar.

My preferred program for encoding by the way is virtual dub........Adobe premiere cannot add subtitles (experimented previoiusly in the past)

Check you inbox in about ten minutes for all the links you will need. Aswell as full details.

WolfReborn

No worries... It is still readable... hahaha...

And will wait for the PM....

Do you have the program/skills to encode?
I use MeGUI, which works well for me when encoding mkvs, which are my preferred filetype.

Are you experienced with encoding?
i have fiddled around with it, doing conversions of several series for personal storage from avi/ogm to mkv, and assisting the odd person who wanted a file conversion. I am also looking into the ordered chapters feature of MKVs.

Are you willing to take the time needed to encode episodes every tuesday/wednesday?
Tuesdays seem to be a good day for me, wednesdays slightly less.

do you work well with a group?
Certainly.

can you show a sample of your work?
Of course, but it would be simpler to complete a test file.

I'll let our encoder know about your app.

Right now we have DGM's encoding covered, but if we were to pick up another series would you still be interest? It'd be different days, and actually we never get the ep out on tuesdays anymore, the eps come out during the weekend.

That would not be a problem, especially the move to the weekends.

okay, as soon as I get a hold of one of our encoders, I'll have (wolf most likely) Q&A you and then he'll probably have you run a test to see how well you do.

lol wolf

hey dragon. hows it going?

lol i was right.............. good yourself

LOL haha yah. been better -_- lol atm have no computer >.> i kinda destroyed it lol.....

that sucks. lol

yep sure does, in process though of getting a new one heh:P a server based comp so should suffice for me:P lol hahaha anyways man long time no talk how has everything been going for ya?

good i just left over at you know were hehe got my self a new comp and learn new things XD

hey dragon, sorry im not able to respond too often lately, im gonna deal with encoding when i get back so well talk then. atm on vacation in the bahamas so a little hard to respond, plus ill have my new computer thursday or friday, should be back wed night.

Do you have the program/skills to encode?
I'd say so, I use Winff, Mediacoder, MPlayer, PGCDemux, A million other demuxers and a video editor
Are you experienced with encoding?
More experienced with transcoding, though I've done dvd's and .ts's
Are you willing to take the time needed to encode episodes every tuesday/wednesday?
I'm usually free, though I may not be able to dedicate EVERY single Tuesday and Wednesday.
do you work well with a group?
Pretty well, I am not very good with styling subs though
Edit:
By the way, I say this because a lot of groups scare me... Torture tests, software quizzes, styling tests, and I'm just like AHHH!!! I didn't know this was hell school .
can you show a sample of your work?
I am currently doing my Lost dvd's to iPhone format for myself, though there pretty low quality for computer playback(saving space on my iPhone ) I generally use MP4(h264 and aac) and MKV(depends on what I'm encoding from)(though I can do just about any format), depending on where I want to watch it.
Edit: Okay, I just finished a Lost episode at a high quality(more than good enough for computer playback, 275MBs edit: A lost episode is 43 minutes, whereas an anime is 23 minutes, so an anime episode encoded at this quality would be something like 150 mb), but I don't know if I should link here, should I chop it up so I don't cause legal trouble, or PM it?
