I did download it. The audio is horrible and the video quality looks like a train wreck. I have seen good .rm files...but this is not one of them.

All that is aside from the concept they...borrowed

well actually its more of a tranlsation of Engel than an actual borrowed concept, which isnt an ENTIRELY bad idea. Kind of like the time I took the freckles ddr mix and stuck it onto the kenshin intro just because they were the same lenght. Stupid, pointless, but not really plagerism because I was just messing around
Still, this sucks

heh, here's your problem as far as quality is concerned
Video : 2 Mb, 71 Kbps, 15.0 fps
Audio : 0 Mb, 8 Kbps
no audio should ever be 8 kbps nor should video, even Real9, be compressed at 70 kbps, its just inhumane (as you saw)

dont rag on the dude he e-mailed me saying that he only did that to test out how well he could do lip snycing and i told him you can try lip syncing, just dont copy videos in the proscess and other stuff to make sure he says away from that newbness stuff, people should really give newbs a chance, its not gonna kill you

Interesting, it doesn't appear to be available for download anymore (I'm assuming it once was) and the description now says absolutely nothing useful at all, not even telling what song it used (again, I'm assuming that it did at one point). I'd say just taking the video and replacing the audio with the English version is a bit silly- but if it is clearly stated that this is what was done with proper credit given (preferrably after checking with the original creator), it may not be very original, but it's not quite the root of all evil. Not giving credit for who did the editing if it wasn't them- that's quite definitely wrong.

If they had taken the video and put it to an entirely different song, again with giving credit to the original editor, I'd probably have even less of a problem with it, especially if it was done in good fun. I think it would be amusing to find a serious video that just happened to match up well with, say, a Weird Al song. That would fall into the category of 'parody', at least in my opinion, and not count as plagiarism (again, if credit to the original creator is given)

This actually brings up something I've been curious about for a while- what the general opinion on 'remastering' other people's older videos is. Example: The only form I have any of Bobby 'C-ko' Beaver's videos in is a not-particularly high generation (and now aging) VHS tape- which includes one of my favorite videos, his 'Phantom Bride' Project A-ko vid. Given I have all the DVD source and the CD the song is on, I've been tempted to attempt to re-make it to have a high-quality, non-degrading media copy of it. If I were to do so, would it be best to just keep it to myself, or try to make it available to others (obviously after trying to get permissions from the original creator first)?
