Cardcaptor Sakura

Last update on 2011-09-30 by coalgirl | Posted in Completed


Episodes – 70 + 2
Video – 1440×1080 @ crf 19, 960×720 @ crf 18
Audio – 5.1 FLAC
Subs – R1 (Heavily Modified, Re-styled)

Torrent – 1080p – 720p

We had two options. We could either release the movies in 8-bit or re-encode the entire series to 10-bit using BDMVs instead of raws this time. We chose the latter.
Thanks to Techguru for providing fixed scripts (which we changed back to our own style).

    So why is the 720p batch larger now?

    @meork
    because they re-encoded straight from the BDMVs now, not from pre-encoded raws… you get more detail in this batch basically

    Er, so, is anyone else getting the “An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions” error?

    weeellll the batches might be bigger, but this also includes the movies in higher resolution, if you exclude them you get the difference i said…. or actually save ~2gigs more, forgot to exclude them 😀

    Is this released in Hi10p ? I didn’t see any tag that seems related to Hi10p in filename. I’m consider to download Hi10p if available instead of 8 bit because of smaller filesize and smaller bandwith for me. Thank You

    Is this version 10-bit now? Would you please put a tag in the file name in other series so we know it’s 10-bit?

    Are even the 720p 10bit? That seems pointless since you have 1080p for high quality.
    I can’t play 10bit and I’m really disappointed with a few groups who are cutting out 8bit completely when 99% of anime is still encoded that way and looks fine as is…

    Kokonoe writes:

    This is the 10 bit version, guys. Yes, even the 720p. CGi apparently don’t tag it in their files (I sort of wish they would, but no bother).

    Times are changing, technology is evolving, and we have to move along with it.

    korewa, are you sure you’ve tried everything possible? Maybe following this guide here?: http://haruhichan.com/wpblog/?p=205

    Hi10p playback should not be a problem, even with an older computer, if you have the correct software.

    I have zero playback issues and have followed that guide to the T.

    Make sure you do step 0 and uninstall everything. CCCP, Haali, MPC-HC, CoreAVC, ffdshow, EVERYTHING before you begin.

    Yes I agree with some people, please CG put a tag on it stating it’s Hi10P in the file name or something cannot even tell what’s 8bit what’s 10bit very confusing.

    you can just assume everything new from cgi is 10bit. They’ve already said it like 10 times.

    I will be waiting for a version that uses the normal 8 bits. This new encoding is just silly.

    @Your Future: you will be waiting for a long time then…
    The old batches were 8bits, just find them somewhere else.

    @kokonoe, Thanks but I know my stuff. I just can’t play it on my hardware. It’s only about 4 years old but it can’t keep up the framerate despite always using the most updated software. Even 8bit 1080p is sometimes a problem. Not only that, but I don’t exclusively watch on PC and my other devices don’t even support 10bit.

    I’m able to watch Hi10p on a six year old computer. A laptop. You need to clear up some space or something, defrag your computer.

    No idea why it won’t work for you.

    It’s mainly a work PC. Around 100gb free, reformat once a year, everything running as well as it can… but only 1k MHz ,500mb RAM.

    I know this is where well-off teens living at their parent’s expense would tell me to get a new PC (fag) but I live on my own and go to school and just manage to feed myself most days. So a new PC just to watch anime is not an option.

    Anyway, I’m fine with finding an 8bit version somewhere. Guess I won’t be getting any more CG releases. It will be a dark day for me if Doki goes full 10bit too though. Thankfully they said they’ll keep 8bit for 720p.

    You can always re-encode it.

    korewa writes:

    @guy, yeah I do re-encode some shows but mainly older or small shows that don’t take much time or resources. This one is too long and files are too large. Better to just find 8bit source.

    @chrisk, I meant to type <1k, would saying 1GHz have kept you from making a pointless troll comment? What is it with the fansubbers/encoders these days that they all go out of their way to be unhelpful dicks towards everyone on their sites?

    Thanks for completing the series and doing the Sakura Diaries too. Although I’d like to report that the timings for the Kero-chan ni Omakase special (movie 2 post-credits) seem to be off (at least in the 1080p version). A v2 or patch would be very much appreciated.

    This is the Japanese version (Cardcaptor Sakura), not the American one (Cardcaptors). You’re not going to find that version very easily.

    I have been seeding the 720p on a 100/100 connection since it was released. It’s not even using up all of my bandwidth (in fact it barely goes over 5mb/s) so the problem is most of the people I’m seeding to don’t have good enough upload to share it with the rest of the pool.
