There is a development going on for a program called DVDSynth, similar to AVISynth only it has the potential to be the holy grail for all HKDVD fans... the most important feature which would make it worth supporting is the ability to add additional subtitle streams to existing DVDs!!!!

We dont all have DVD Writers and I'm quite sure ppl wont want to be remastering their HK Anime DVD's just to get better subs (well I might consider doing so if I had a burner)... I haven't managed to get DVDSynth to work yet so maybe its support for WinXP is a bit buggy or I'm just doing something wrong, but yes after reading the documentation I'm convinced this should be something we should pursue... for those interested in reading...

In any case, since this is an HKDVD community, I was thinking that if DVDSynth were to get big, it would need a lot of ppl helping with providing substreams for different HK releases. There are sites out there which provide fansub scripts to a lot of anime titles, we could just rely on these scripts and synchronise them to the appropriate DVD streams for the HK DVD's we have and then share them here...

For those of you who have read the contents of the link above, I'm sure you'll also have noticed that the author of DVDSynth is an anime fan as well as he has provided sample scripts to 3 R2 anime titles for use with the program.

what should it be..AS, MAC or MI/AC..i can't tell which is which all the reviews make them all look pretty similar. i'd want the ones with the best subs and if possible one that has the best subs and great options too. which one is simply the BEST because i want the best one?

Have you guys tried the Cowboy Bebop MAC release? I haven't seen any reviews of the MAC yet and have heard a lot of negative comments about the the other CB releases so I want to hear if it's ok.

I'm heading to taiwan in a few days and I"m wondering is anime easy to find? I've glanced a few times, and saw cammed movies that are like a couple of bucks, but never had a the time to really look for anime.

I have alot more free time this upcoming trip(hopefully) and have time to look around, but want to know is it easy as say in vietnam. those shops are so easy to find and they carry tons of things, well actually I didn't see them carry any anime though. But I'm going on the lines, of is it more hush hush to find to bigger sellers.

any help would do.

all of you need to own GUNGRAVE now! thats it. By the way it is in JAPANESE as well. 8O 8O 8O

Post your suggestions here.


Folks, check out Cali Agents. Great underground rap. :mrgreen:

There's rumors floating around here saying about something new coming out to do with Berserk!!!
Just wanted some information on what exactly is coming out?
A new series, new video game, newer action figures?? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I mean come on can dbz get any worse? Apparently so!!! :evil:
Can the stories they rewrite get any more lackluster and off course!?! :evil: It's not just dbz either but since it is THE dominant anime here in the states I figured I'd rip on funimations "great works of quality".

Ok I am going to say a word, & I want you to tell me the first thing to come to mind.
