Has subtitle technology gone too far?
>>
It's called fun, anon.
And while I don't quite appreciate their bloated subtitles, at least they attempt to make something fun and worth watching, unlike most sub groups, who rip crunchyroll subs and call it a day.

The interesting part about this is: how do they do it?

Is there some kind of software for these subs?

my computer has never had a problem with 10-bit and suddenly the video starts dropping frames because mpc-hc can't keep up with the fancy subs

Nope, it's all keyed in by chiseling a stone tablet.

I think the most popular subtitler software that fansubbers use is aegisub.

That's the one with the spinning cards and the subs follow it right? That's low tier. That one group that went full autismo with the sword art OP, that's the real widowmaker.

Embedded HTML and javascript in subtitles when? Imagine the possibilities.

The anime is supposed to be fun, not the style of the subtitles.

why?

For realtime subtitle updates, tracking and ads.

ass is literal cancer

The format is fucking terrible for this kind of softsubbing, it's slow as shit.

Signs _should_ be hardsubbed onto a transparent video stream that gets overlaid on top of the original.

Only actual text should be softsubbed.

>Signs _should_ be hardsubbed onto a transparent video stream that gets overlaid on top of the original.
alright why is no one doing this
>>
>>53508391
Problem is that doing it as video will bloat the file size a shit load. ASS may be intensive with effects, but it's small in comparison.
>>
What is wrong with just making good old .SRT you fucking faggot ass subbers
>>
>>53508420
Because there's no application-level support for it.
>>
>>53508433
>Problem is that doing it as video will bloat the file size a shit load.
The stream only has to encode the difference between the original video and the softsubbed video, which is going to be fairly insignificant unless you have a large sign every other second.

Also, I'd rather pay the extra storage cost than have my playback drop to 1 fps because some shitty softsubber decided to overlay blurs onto his signs, but that's just me.
>>
>>53508391
Signs should be softsubbed, but only when it's needed for the plot or otherwise important, and it should be obvious what part's sub and what part's the original anime.

>>53508574
That's just a question of effort. If you have a subber who is willing to put in the effort needed to visually match every single sign in the entire anime, then I don't see a reason not to softsub every sign.
>>
>>53508670
I don't know if it's just me but I get disoriented seeing texts in plain English like that when the rest of conversations happen in Japanese. I'd much prefer the subtitles being below the original with the original text untouched, but maybe that's not a popular opinion.

ass abuse thread?
>>
>>53508453
that way it would take a few hours to release subs instead of a week
and there would be no fansub scene drama which is what makes weeaboos have something to think about everyday
and there would be no threads like this

I don't have problems watching anime with lots of subs on my old core 2 duo laptop. Maybe you forgot to set up hardware decoding.

I'm assuming you meant shaking your head, which would be 首を振る or 首を横に振る.

>Signs _should_ be hardsubbed onto a transparent video stream that gets overlaid on top of the original.
If you can tell me how to do that, I'll get right on it.

I tried looking for a method about a year ago but failed.
>>
>>53509708
Write your own encoder and decoder that support it.

MPEG-4 Part 10 technically does, but neither FFmpeg nor x264 nor aegisub nor anything else do.
>>
>>53508391
Isn't this what Blu-rays do?
>>
>>53509732
No they hardcode their subs as low-quality bitmaps. (Or maybe that's just DVDs?)

Either way, I've never heard of a Blu-ray having toggleable subs that actually change the signs in the video stream. But then again, I've never bought or used a Blu-ray.
>>
>>53509697
I looked up "to shake" and picked what looked the most likely based off the hiragana I recognised. Then I just botnet translated "head". Was my grammar passable at least? I barely even touched Tae Kim's guide.
>>
>>53509757
It reads like "the head sways", but I'm sure there's a better translation.

But just keep reading until you become Japanese in spirit.

ありがとせんぱいくん~

>>53508781
I've counted a number of times when the subs will literally start tilting and flying away during news bulletin scrolls.
