It's not remastering. Remastering is when you take a previous video and apply some new technical apparation to it that previously wasn't at hand. Such as using DVDs instead of fansubs, or re-write the avisynth script from scratch and coming up with a big difference or just re-doing the whole vid from the start. What you are doing is called "fixing a mistake". No need to sugar coat it.

As for the content, I'm going to have to agree with Kit this time. The editing could have been overall better and the result much, much funnier. I can see the idea you're going with this, and it indeed is lulz, but I felt the editing wasn't quite holding up to it.

what hes doing is indeed remastering, by the definition of the word.

I'll check it out ;p

and the correct size for squarepixel 16:9 aspect ratio is 640x360 not 640x352.

Devide 640 by 16 and 360 by 9 and you get an exact multiple of 40.

in the future, you can figure the correct size by deviding the X by 16 and the Y by 9 (for 16:9 ) and by 4 and 3 for (4:3) aspect ratios and adjust till you get the same (or nearest same) value for both fields.

I know, but 360 isn't an even multiple of 16. That would cause problems with YV12 DCT-based codecs such as XviD/DivX/etc.

hah?

I've encoded stuff in 640x360 no problem in xvid and divx before.
Not to mention I have a bunch of amvs and anime encoded in that size on my HD.

as for the video:

It wasn't as funny as I expected from the comments, but I do like the direction you were going with it. I loled a few times, and thought the anime and direction pretty much fit the song. It did need alot more tighter editing though, and I think that would have upped the enjoyment of the vid even more.

I suppose I should rephrase my post, because I did enjoy the concept. The editing was just so rough, I had a really hard time getting into it.
