Musings of the Obsessive Kind

Am currently learning how to hardsub. Am a geek but it's exciting. Let's see if it works. I also need to figure out which format I need to convert avi files into in order to make them DVD compatible. Any tips? (because it gives me different formats for output files but I don't know which one is DVD compatible). (Though I guess I might just spring for a DVD player that plays avi files, but still, want to know).

In other news. Yup, still on The Outsiders.



The thing is Hong Do is spot on in telling her she should try to be open with Ah Hao (not about the rape of course) and talk about 'flowers and piano' like she used to. That way Ah Hao won't be looking for shadows of Yu Yen everywhere, he'd have the real thing. But I love the look on YY's face when Hong Do says that. How can she be that simple happy girl again? She can't, not after that night when Bao Ge ripped all her innocence from her.

( Thoughts on first half of ep 14 )

And here are some pics from that part.

( Stills from end of 13 and first half of 14. Pain melting into sweetness )

ETA: OMG. I was going to post about all other sorts of things about the eps but.

sorry.

derailed.

He just found out about her rape.

( Incoherence )

And here are some pics.

( Enter at your own risk. Of severe angst )

I don't know if I can bear to watch more.

OMG. I interrupt my viewing for three reasons.

1. OMG. Hong Do is awesome. She is yelling at her boyfriend (the completely irrepressible Ah Qi) because he went to the brothel with Ah Hao and when he points out that Ah Hao was the one who left with two girls, he was all alone, she yells that this is what makes her angry the most.

And then she is all 'fine, whoring is good for you, but why must you drag Ah Hao in with you?' And when he (understandably incredulously) asks if Ah Hao's 'chastity' is more important to her than his own potential fooling around, OMG, I died. Because she yells something to the effect of 'yeah, whatever, you need to let steam off now and then and you don't get attached, and all you need is for me to straighten you out now and then, so that's fine. But you know how are things with Ah Hao and Yu Yen. They are different. They always get intense' or something to that effect. LOL. True, but LOL. Also, seriously, whie it's not my idea of a relationship, the secondary OTP has a really working well relationship.

2. YESSSSS! I just bought Sony 18x Internal Double/Dual Layer & Dual Format DVD Burner. Soon I can be couch potato when watching in the literal sense of the term.

3. On the minus side, my MPCPlayer picked this week to start having problems playing rmvb files. Booo. It played them smoothly for ages. And my Why Why Love files are in RMVB format and I wanted to watch a few minutes as a little winding down from the intensity of The Outsiders. Odd. I guess I'll download GOMPlayer as VLC doesn't play rmvbs. Boo. But hey, I think it's the only player I don't have installed yet :)

I am seriously considering buying a new laptop. Nothing wrong with the one we have but it's a bit on the old side.

Any recs? I am a PC person, not a Mac girl.

You know how The Outsiders made me learn to screencap?

OK, now I want to have DVDs.

But for that I need a few things.

So firstly, does anyone know how to convert softsubs into hardsubs?

And secondly, how do I convert avi or rmdb files into format playable on DVD?

Does anyone know of any tutorials?

Thank you

The torrent for ep 1 is out on d-addicts!!!! It's a gigantic file, 1.3 gb, in part because the ep was 2 (!!!) hours long (and hopefully in part because the files are good quality). I just started the download and it's downloading psycho fast though, and if the speed keeps going, the whole thing will dl in under 1 hour (I will seed afterwards, of course). There is also one on clubbox, but I have no idea how to use those, as I don't read Korean and my computer also has troubles with Korean script (I'd need to dl a separate program, the way I did with Russian).

They are RAWs of course, but I don't care! I know the flipping manga backwards!

Oh. My. God.

In the morning I will have Domyouji! And Tsukushi! To watch! Yes, I am abusing the exclamation point.

As a little treat to whet the appetite, I bring this vid from youtube, which the new theme song with clips from HYD1, but a bunch from HYD2 as well. YES.

I am glad to annouce that while Domyouji's hair might be better, Kaede is still evil. YES.

smartylibrarian, I am so sorry I couldn't make it to the party. By the time I was done with everything it was much to late for anyone but vampires...

Sorry...

*grovels*

ETA: fireball_says and everyone else who has torrent problems. The awesome bittersweet_bun just started uling it (in parts as it's huge) in dlable format on mu here.
