Rackage in SD is still more Rackage than you can handle. Trust me.

Well, the TV station royally trolled us this episode by temporarily rescheduling the show into a standard definition timeslot, meaning that this episode was aired in SD only.
We’ve used the TV broadcast for our usual 480p release, and for now we’ve put out a temporary 720p release using the only HD source available – CR’s video. We’ll be replacing this release with a proper HDTV encode when it airs on another channel in a couple of days, so if you want the best possible quality I’d recommend waiting for that. In any case, here it is, and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing how they wrap this one up next week.
Edit: As promised, episode 12’s 720p release has been replaced with an updated version encoded from HDTV.
Thanks!
love ya 😀
How did Zero-Raws get the HD version then?
Thank you!
@Danuchiha99 They didn’t. It was upscaled by mistake.
Thanks a lot! More pew pew
Oh good and here I was about to download SD. Will wait for proper HD release.
Thanks!
>Implying CR’s video isn’t better anyways.
Thanks for the episode, as always!
Thanks! 😀
Just curious, but what is the former pirate queen’s name? I’ve seen it as Yukkage, Lukkage and your translation as Rackage. I know Japanese has a hard time with the English “L” or “R” sounds, but why such a spelling variation?
Thanks for gargantia! And now, i have a question… possibility of doing “Free!” in this summer? (if at hasty, sorry for the question) Waiting for the last episode in next week! T—–T Continue with the nice job!
@Happy!
Rackage may not be her official name, but it suits her so well 🙂
Out of curiousity, how’s this been selling in Japan?
@tormaid
CR is only streaming in meh-quality 720p, with no 1080p to filter/downscale from.
@Liam
Not on sale until late August. Looking to do okay but not amazing. Preorder rank nosedived in the last month.
(p.s. Chuunibyou 13 neeeeed)
^ but then shot back up after this episode, I should add.
Rackage is more rackage than I want, as well.
Ridget, though. That’s mo’ betta.
Thank you very much for this as always BUT I have a question, how come you are cutting the end cards? Or does none of your sources include that (not only in this episode)? They are so beautiful, especially for this episode! 🙂
@KevinKevin:
End cards have been present since the beginning… Except for one ep. if my memory serves me correctly…
Anyways… An SD release before HD!?
Now that’s something you don’t see everyday ( >_^ )
Thanks as always… 😀
@n.e.e.t
What, really? I just checked back on the 11th release but I can’t find them. Isn’t it located at the very end, right after the credits?
@Happy Her name on the official japanese site is “ラケージ” or rakeeji / lakeeji. So “Rackage” seems to sound about right. “Lukkage” and “Yukkage” are just wrong phonetically and ironically if you take “ラ” as “La” instead of “Ra”, “Lackage” is totally opposite of… well, her rackage.
Thanks.
Thanks. You guys doing the chuunibyou OVA?
@Harimaru
gg did the chu2koi OVA already.

@KevinKevin
I can’t seem to figure out how to show endcards either, using mpchc with MadVR
Rackage + Pinion seems like an odd combination.
If memory serves me right someone called what was going to happen last week on ep. 11’s comments…and totally nailed it. Anyway, awesome ep. and awesome work guys.
I should just go ahead and change my name to Harimaru, the number of times people have made that mistake…
@anon:
What Abdt said.
Should I wait for 720p? Should I? Should I?
Aaargh
@KevinKevin & will :
The END cards will only stay onscreen for a very brief moment after the end credits… Around five split seconds or so…
If you are using MPC-HC or even CCCP …Try pausing the video and going to the very last second of the show…
Then start pressing the ” Right ” arrow key on your keyboard one at a time until the end card appears…
Otherwise… You’ll only see a glimpse of the END card before MPC blacks out the video…
Example : From this Ep.

Screenshot taken a couple split seconds after 24:39 😉
An easier method is to segment the whole video into frame-by-frame using a particular software, like what I use to create gifs… And the END card can be easily viewed within the last few frames out of thousands…
Hope I was able to help… Even by a bit… 🙂
Other END cards from Ep. 8 to 11 since Ep. 7 does not have it within the vid… 😀

@iprolyh8u
What, you’ve never heard of a rack and pinion steering system?
@neet
I’ve tried going frame by frame in mpchc and the last possible frame i got, (for ep 11), was http://i.imgur.com/YyVLyic.jpg
I’ve tried googling all over and havent found an answer :/
@TheWonko
Wow, that completely escaped my mind. Canon pairing maybe?
If you’re having trouble seeing the endcards, please upgrade to the latest CCCP.
http://www.cccp-project.net/
I’ve tested on several computers and the included version of MPC-HC should have no issues displaying them: http://puu.sh/3n0OW.jpg
Episode 12’s HD does not have an endcard currently as they are not included in CR’s stream.
I downloaded this CCCP thing and what do you know? It didn’t help a bit, the very last frame of episode 11 is not the end card for me, all it did was SCREW UP my folder settings! All the folders I had to manually reset to my linkings (like detailed list) have been reset!! What the heck!!
“so if you want the best possible quality I’d recommend waiting for that” <- wouldn't the BDs be the best possible quality though? Unless you are not planning to do them.
@no ending cards: there is an option under playback called "rewind when done playing", if you have it ticked, it will only briefly display the ending card then jump to the first frame (=blank out). I can see the ending cards fine, whenever there is any.
Could be something wrong on your end…? Even I’m able to see the END cards…
Like THIS one >> http://www.firegoon.com/u/8vgpw7.jpg
You just have to get to the last second. Like 23:40 and then pause the vid and start going next frame by pressing the right arrow key on your keyboard.
Worked for me… 😀
@LARGEHARD
Maybe there is a problem because I am using VLC Media Player? I recently discovered that many fansubbing people hate it. I really don’t know why, VLC plays everything just fine for me!
Also, you are all saying that I should skip to 23:40…funny thing is, my files only go to 23:39. But come on, I downloaded the same file as all of you guys, that can’t even be possible! XD
@LARGEHARD
I tried again, I found the advance per frame option on VLC, but when I skip to the end and go frame by frame, the end cards never appear. I don’t know what I am doing wrong!
@people failing
Stop using VLC and start using MPC. There’s an option to “do nothing” after playback. You’ll see your end card then, since it’s the last frame of the video.
@tormaid
That is so strange, it really does work with this player. But still, I don’t think that is a reason to switch. I like everything on VLC, so this is not enough reason to switch. I guess I’ll keep MPC installed just to look at the end cards XD I don’t understand why you just can’t stop on the last frame on VLC…oh well.
Still, is there any more reason why I should switch? I still can’t understand why VLC is hated so much, it plays pretty much everything just fine!
>> Still, is there any more reason why I should switch? I still can’t understand why VLC is hated so much, it plays pretty much everything just fine!
VLC isn’t as efficient as MPC-HC when it comes to CPU usage.
This is especially noticeable on older, slower computers.
For example, UTW’s Fate/Zero NCOP 1080p Hi10P video is unwatchable on a Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz laptop when VLC is used, but is OK with MPC-HC with LAV codecs and xy-vsfilter as bundled in CCCP.
Very pleased with this (variously suspected) turn of events!
The ‘key’ reminds me of Adiamante. “Yes, we actually /do/ have high-technology planet-destroying-level superweapons at our disposal while living in a deliberately primative fashion, but to come out and say it would have been a threat! Our morality system prevents us from doing anything so violent as a show of power, rather than just waiting fo annihilate you once you conclude us defenseless and finally attack.”
VLC runs on a different sub renderer to the version of MPC-HC included with the CCCP and has various other quirks such as those described. You can use it if you want to, but most groups I know only test their releases in MPC-HC, so various things in the subs and otherwise might break in VLC. Don’t expect to get much support other than “install CCCP” if you run into issues.

@Kitty
Please don’t be offensive. Why is it so hard to understand that people use VLC media player when they NEVER had any problems with it?
Not bad with the predictions, was fun speculating.
The name of the device the key is for sounds like a space elevator, though is probably some laser based weapon and by my guess is a satellite. Or a Yunboro.
Are you guys going to be doing the Ghost in the Shell ARISE OVA?

Finally, Ledo had made his resolve to protect Gargantia after witnessing the purging ritual that is similar to Galactic Alliance’s doctrine of eliminate human that are not worth to them. Luckily, Lady Rackage is siding with Flange/Pinion fleet… for now. Mutiny! Arrr!

Don’t see why people bash VLC so much, it’s been working just fine for me the 5 years I’ve been using it. Then again, the CPU usage is of no concern for me on my main computer, but I use it on every other computer I have for video playback as well.
I might not be able to playback 1080p on some of them, but then they usually don’t support 1080p to begin with, my older computers support and play 720p just fine. My netbook can play 720p, but the screen is 480p, it’s unwatchable on the built-in screen (frameloss and slowed playback) but work just fine if I use an external screen.
The only time where VLC was put down to knees for me, was a soft-rendered, moving letter with a translated overlay, that was a 1080p video, don’t remember which one of the many series I’ve watched it was from though. The scene was about 5 seconds long, and if I let it play for longer than 3 seconds of it, it would freeze up the video, but continue with the audio until forced quit.
Rackage too sexy 😀
@Xythar
The no end card problem might be due to madVR. I reported it on the bug tracker: http://bugs.madshi.net/view.php?id=96.
@Xythar You mentioned that you’d be releasing the HD airing when it’s aired…can we get a date for that?
@Soulthus Ah, that could be it. I’m using madVR on this PC but I’ve got smooth motion turned off.
@Liam: Should be some time late Tuesday in American timezones.
@Robinde67
“Don’t see why people bash VLC so much..” because it manages to screw up audio, video and subs besides being CPU heavy for no reason, bad seeking, framedroping for absolutely no reason
Is there huge difference between CR video and 720p TV rip?
Thanks for the release, guys. Any idea when you’ll be announcing your summer plans? I have my fingers crossed for Monogatari season 2. *.*
Thanks for the SD release!
TY for release and I hope u guys pick up Illya and Monogatari season 2 for the summer 😀
Its true i cant see the end cards with VLC but i did check with my S4 using MX player and its actually there

CURSE YOU WORK FOR MAKING ME SO BUSY!
Thanks so much for the episode!
Have a great night!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS SERIES!
Noob question time (since 80% of the thread post ranting on VLC/MPC stuff):
What’s the significant difference of playing the videos on DirectShow Video set on default (Enhance Video Render (custom presenter)) and madVR on MPC with xy-vsfilter setup?
Somewhere in Gargantia’s main ship, there is a slot for that key and when you put it in, the fleet transforms into a super robot and the background music will be “Ga-ga-ga ga-ga-ga Gargantia”.
I have never used VLC before. However, if Windows Media Player can play the video properly, while VLC cannot, then it is time to question the choice of player.
@Jo :
No wonder them ships needs to be linked to form that one giant fleet…
Instead of just sailing alongside each other…
Heh
The WORLD of GARGANTIA indeed… ( <_< )
@ramdom onii-chan
“because it manages to screw up audio, video and subs besides being CPU heavy for no reason, bad seeking, framedroping for absolutely no reason”
I’ve only witnessed the audio/video screw-up once, and evidently, no other media player I tried could handle it better anyway. Except for that one screw-up, the CPU doesn’t use much more than 3-4% for me (around 12% on my netbook), the netbook procured no better result on any other media player.
@anonon
“I have never used VLC before”
How do you know that WMP is better if you never tried VLC? And it’s usually the other way around…
Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic are not the same thing, by the way. The CCCP includes Media Player Classic, which is the player I recommend.
@AMg: madvr gives you better scaling options, but taxed hardware more. Basically, if you have fast hardware, might as well make use of it by using madvr.
Damn, I came here to make a “rack and pinion” comment and was beaten to the punch!
Will you guys be doing the Bakemonogatari Second Season?
Please do Bakemonogatari Second Season.
@Robinde67:
Well, I only tell you to question your choice, not to say one thing is definitely better than the other, since I only have experience with WMP and MPC. I only suggest to try out other player and see in how it is better or worse than the player that you are frequently using.
Can’t we all just enjoy watching this show and stop bashing each others media players and hardware performance…?
http://www.firegoon.com/u/w5zig.jpg
Thanks as always UTW team… 😀
@anonon
If there is no problem with the player I’m using there really is no need for me to “question my choice”, however, if you only tell me to try other media players that is a whole different story, there is no reason to not try them.
On that note, I haven’t tried MPC, so I’ll give that a shot later, just wished it would work on Linux as well, but let’s not be critical.
I have tried WMP, got annoyed by all the codec downloads and failure to fetch most of them, couldn’t even play an MP3 file last time I tried, downloaded a codec pack of 113MB or something to get them all, and it still would have problems playing some of my media. (Immediately after, I tried VLC and it could play ALL of my media, without downloading 113MB of codecs. Back then, 113MB was quite a big deal to download, just to find out it didn’t work) PS: I don’t really like the over-styled UI of WMP.
I also tried QuickTime(QT and the alternative QTA), while it can play most of my media without getting a lot of codecs, I don’t like the UI style, but above all else, it use up more than double the CPU workload compared to VLC for me, my Mac-crazy friend says it works perfectly on Mac OS though.
I’ve tried out some others which I don’t remember the name of, but some quick testing proved them inferior by either using a lot of RAM and CPU or being unable to play most of my media.
MPC seems to have what I’m looking for in a media player, customizable, lightweight, simplistic UI, so I’ll give it a try.
Thnx for the subs 😀
