Zarxrax posted track 11, so I figured that I should post track 12.

The DDR3 premiere is about 4 hours from now, but hey, let's face it: at this point in time, if you're reading this AND going to the premiere then you only spoil yourself by watching the track.

Here's the link. Appearently a few people think this track doesn't suck as bad as I say it does.

-- Don't read below this line if you don't care. --

I could go on for a while about how "hubris" came to be the title of this track, but it would only make sense if you've seen Shamanic Princess. That, and the title's meaning is fairly self-evident if you HAVE seen the OVA, so ... yeah, not much worth in explaining things.

dwchang is also listed on this because he gave me two ideas that ended up working really nicely; everything else in the track is mine, so if you hate this thing, blame me, not him.

The local download is your standard 352x240 MPEG-1 file, which should be playable on everything from the latest spit-fire Athlon 64 to that computer in your pants. The direct download is a 704x480 DivX-compatible XviD video stream packed in a Matroska container, and also includes a few K of additional video notes and inside-my-festering-brain insights as a worthless but still tangible bonus. Read the video description for instructions on how to prep a Windows or UNIX(-like) machine for Matroska playback.

Yes, I am a Matroska pimp. Booyah.

The quality of the picture is INSANE! Almost TOO perfect. :shock:

Really nice job with this one!

The Shamanic Princess R1 DVD actually looks really nice (especially considering that it's got 300-ish minutes of material crammed onto it), and a significant portion of the track is CG, which isn't subject to problems from repeated reencoding and recompression (except that RGB -> YUV conversion).

I also filtered the online distro version quite a bit with xsharpen and Tweak()ed the thing to boost saturation by 135%. In my experience xsharpen doesn't normally look all that good on anime -- it's much more suited to photos and live-action footage -- but I found Shamanic Princess to be an exception. Don't quite know why yet, but it did look neat.

Having difficulty downloading the matroska file. Internet Explorer wants to save it as an html file for some reason. I tried renaming it to mkv, but it wont play

Any suggestions?

Oh god, I had only seen a preview.

So far this is my favourite !!! Great work trythil, really! (before watching it I was proud of mine :cry:

)

Yay, it works now

Indeed, best video of the one's I've had the pleasure of viewing so far... well maybe except for one...

While I'm waiting for the "pro" DDR videos (ones done by the vets of the past two Projects), I'm still downloading some of the DDR videos that have just been put up for download. Just downloaded the era (it was slower than usual, most likely due to the rush of people downloading videos from AWA), and the DDR videos that I've downloaded so far, this is IMO the best one. Although there's one side effect: I have an urge to check out VegettoEX's One Two video.
