We're not out of the woods, yet. Fukushima Nuclear power plants 1 and 2 are in critical condition. The reactor cores are not damaged and there are no leaks. But the reactor cores require active cooling to keep the radioactive material at safe levels. At the moment of the earthquake, both plants...

Here in Japan, watching the news. Early numbers report between 8.4 and 8.8 for the first quake. Two 6.4 quakes followed shortly after. Sendai and surrounding cities in Aomori prefecture are hardest hit. We are now almost 3 hours after the first quake, and still feeling aftershocks. There...

Another sister, as in a third sister? No. Rina (AV name: Riko) has one younger sister, Marika (AV name: Riku). As in the translation (and reported in earlier interviews), Rina says she lost her virginity to a staff member when she was in AKB, while she was 16. She didn't have any particular...

Contrary to other business models, in many cases the ads have no significant weight. In regular television, we commonly think of ads as being sponsors; companies paying the broadcaster money to reserve 15- or 30-second spots for product placement, to target a specific demographic (ie: the...

First photobook will be released next week (Feb 8), and first AV will be out next month (Mar 5).

System restore does not help, especially if you have a rootkit or some other low-level spyware. Option 1) Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, or other spyware removal application (use multiple programs for best results). When you run the scans, each application will tell...

Absolutely. And with a 2600K overclocked to 4.5, and 64-bit QTGMC (assuming everything scales appropriately), you might be able to run Slower with Edge Cleaning at real-time (1x)! And just think, the 2600K doesn't even represent the top of Intel's 2011 lineup. Imagine what 6- and 8-core parts...

Back with some numbers. First, setup: i7-2600 (3.4ghz), H67, 8GB, Intel Graphics 2000. Win7 x64, fully updated with all VS C++ and .NET redistributables. meguIV 1.0.1.1 + Vit 0.2.1, scripts modified to include: SetMemoryMax(1024) SetMTMode(3,10) SetMTMode(2,10) SetMemoryMax modification was...

Yep, that's what I did. I'll check the other ideas. In the meantime, I took the auto-generated avs script (for the pre-render), added SetMemoryMax(1024), and fed it back into Megui; the blank error crashes have stopped for now, but I've only been testing on short clips so I have no idea how...

Happening with both VS and IC compiles; dropped one set of them on top of 0.2.1 sandbox. Am I missing something? Already got latest .NET Framework 4 + updates via Windows update, still no luck (same "blank" crash, happening after 19 frames).

Sorta got my new system up. Clean install of Win7 x64. Running meguIV 1.0.1.1 with Vit 0.2.1, and getting the same "blank error" as monteyuma (#448). I have the following VC++ Redistributables installed: 2005 x86, 2005 x64, 2008 x86, 2008 x64, and 2010 x86. Crash occurs on both mencoder and...

Yep, already got H67. Anandtech reviews seem to say quality is better than traditional GPU transcodes. But we'll have to see how it stacks up to x264. As for Avisynth, I already encode using pre-rendering (to HFYU raw), then feed the raw into x264, so it wouldn't be a significant change in my...

QTGMC I can test, but you'll need to tell me what media you usually encode (a 720x480 DVD frame processes much faster than a 1920x1080 full HD frame, naturally). I will skip reporting any x264 performance numbers for now, because 1) x264 is used as a benchmark on professional tech review sites...

Heehee, I just got this in the mail. 398334 398335 It's a completely new build (LGA1155, not compatible with any previous Core products), so I'll be busy getting it set up. Just to note: early benchmarks put the Sandy Bridge i7-2600 (quad-core) at nearly the same performance as the previous...

Meanwhile, other studies show that people who presume to understand the "emotional make-up" of other people themselves suffer from their own psychological imbalances (insecurity, superiority complexes, etc). :evillaugh:

Some girls are willing to do AV in the first place, because they don't have good family relations at home. As soon as they are old enough, they just want to move out and start their own life separate from their family; and if they can't get any other job, making AV is a relatively simple way to...

PerfectDark Unity differs from other P2P cache (such as Share) in that the Unity consists of any file being shared on the network, not just the files you are downloading. So in the background, PerfectDark will download other files into your Unity, and upload them to other peers who are trying to...

"Metrosexual" is a western term born out of western stereotyping and double standards. Even though as a metrosexual you can dress well, have good hygiene, nice hair, etc while still being straight, those qualities (fashion & hygiene) are closely associated with being gay; ie, being metrosexual...

TAF2011 still has not been officially cancelled, but most of the publishers who are boycotting TAF have decided to hold an "Anime Contents Expo" at the Chiba Makuhari Messe convention center (about 40 minutes from Tokyo Big Sight). The Anime Contents Expo will be held on March 26-27, which...

Somehow I missed where you said you would do a translation. :bow-pray:

As EnterTheVoid said earlier, the bill only passed the committee vote, and had not actually been passed into law (with the vote due on the 15th). Sadly, the 15th has come (and gone), and Sankaku and Japan Probe report that the bill has indeed been signed into law, taking effect initially in...

It probably is political posturing, but it is not without its victims. The bill does not criminalize production, sale, or possession of hentai anime/manga. But it does allow a 3rd party organization (likely picked by the government and not independently monitored) to arbitrarily decide what...

I knew I shouldn't have spent 30 minutes writing a condensed overview of the situation. :dunno:

Sankaku reports that the proposed bill to ban manga/anime deemed indecent/harmful -- recently backed by the DPJ and of which Tokyo governer Ishihara is a major proponent -- has passed. The wording in the bill is so vague and subjective as to target works deemed to "interfere with the healthy...

Is it really so hard to just paste a link for us? Or are you insisting that I have to sort through all of the 2ch posts that are posted anonymously and cannot be verified whether they're actually true or just baseless rumors? For what it's worth, Rina's current thread on 2ch (which is quite...

I wouldn't say it was just for cheap hits. NAKANISHI Rina's crossover into JAV has received a lot of attention, not only because of how popular AKB48 is all over Japan, but also because of how she started her idol life as a minor, how relatively quickly it happened (less than 2 years after...

They are actually still selectable text. I'm just using CSS to style them to look like icons. As an update, I've made a GreaseMonkey script that will search thread titles for tags (anything in ALL UPPERCASE and enclosed in square brackets), and then automatically replace the brackets with...

How does I uninstall a JPEG? :evillaugh: In Windows XP, Vista, and 7, you need to also consider disabling System Restore or other similar file monitoring/recovery service. Although the System Restore service should only apply to system files (and not regular user files), the services typically...

DVDs (and DVDISOs) come in native 25fps or 29.97fps format (depending on region). There is no 60fps DVD. The reason you might see many people ripping DVDs into 60fps files (usually H.264 format) is because the original 29.97fps (30p) VOB files have interlaced content which can be converted into...

Depends on what the DVD is (IV, AV, movie, TV series, music, etc). Also worth noting many DVDs have multiple DVD codes. For example with JAVs, DVDs intended for sale have one DVD code; the same DVD for rental has a different DVD code; and sometimes even the same DVD released on web...

Re: cover images You could use a temporary solution by promoting that covers be uploaded to AO, but still allowing authorized picture hosts, namely the ones that are safe and reliable (similar to the policy on allowed/banned filehosts). You should still heavily underscore two important things...

It is normal. In your nodes list, you will see different nodes constantly connecting/disconnecting. This is because Share is connecting to different nodes (users) and searching if they have the file(s) you are trying to download. But you are also correct: old files are more likely to no longer...

Or as was mentioned in another thread, the exact same video stream. Simply remuxing an existing video into a different container (eg: MKV->MP4) and reposting it as a "different" file would not be allowed, correct?

Yes. 363624 Keep in mind, a weeaboo is anyone who has an unhealthy/abnormal obsession in anything about Japan, not just anime/manga -- for reasons that are beyond logic. (It just happens that anime/manga obsessions are much easier to spot.) This includes people who intentionally date only...

Gotta throw in another word for DXVA: Using CyberLink/PowerDVD8 H.264/AVC DXVA decoder within MPC (EVR, fullscreen). With it, I am actually able to playback 1080p 24fps and 30fps material on my netbook (Atom Z550 2.0ghz, Intel GMA950) with no frame drops. Doesn't work quite as well when...

DDL photosets in the JIC is getting (already?) a bit unweildy, imo. Although posts are sorted by model, there is no consistency between what filehosts are used, how related photosets are grouped together (they usually aren't), how missing photosets are kept track of, who posted what, in what...

Most lossless DRM removal techniques require that you have the original license to play the material (ie: you actually bought/paid for the content). They then circumvent the DRM mechanism to dump the decrypted material (using your license) into a DRM-free file, without re-encoding (original...

There was no source. It was a tabloid that started an unverified rumor. There are no updates probably because it's not real. She has finished producing 6. As of this posting: The first 2 have been released (and are available for download): DV-1184: 日本中が待望した国民的アイドル やまぐちりこ AV DEBUT DV-1194...

Actually, you'd be surprised that most of the people that support these kinds of measures aren't moral crusaders but are simply misinformed, under-educated (about certain topics), and are content with letting other people make decisions for them. They're the type of people who don't support a...

No, it's not even a rumor. The magazine is merely reporting what the other graduated members are up to lately, and just speculating "if another former AKB member crosses over to JAV, which one might it be?" There is no rumor, and there is no decision/announcement. It is just an article about...
