[Req] Journey to the West 1986 Subbing Project

Last edited by Bankai on Tue Jun 12, 2007 7:31 am; edited 4 times in total

A while ago NFS announced that we were going to sub JTTW. But we've been hella sluggish and barely done anything at all except for getting chinese subs/timing. But now I am happy to say, that this project is really starting now.

~shinigami~ is indefinitely off the project, but _iris has joined this project to do all the translation, and any timing/editing etc. needed. Of course more help is always appreciated so if you want to help, just reply to the thread.

I think that we'll probably still be doing hardsubs, and I'll try to put them on direct links and torrent, but we'll also need help to seed it.

if anyone really wants softsubs, just express your interest here and I'll reconsider.

For anyone whose still not sure which JTTW this is, here are some screencaps:

EDIT: For those who can't download with torrents, or prefer direct download, heres a mirror link (I will add more as the project progresses, unless I decide torrent would be better):

UPDATE: Well, I have bad news. The translator for this project, _iris, won't be working on this for the time being due to exams. So I'll be needing a new translator or else this project will be on hold until we find one. For anyone willing, please PM me.
Thanks.

I should add that whoever would like to join with the translation don't have to download any large video files =) A user on youtube has been uploading all the episodes on this channel: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cougie47

Please join in and help sub this drama! xD

I've actually made my own rips from a dvd I bought in china, so you wont find the exact raws of mine anywhere on the internet.

An update: I've pretty much done all the editing/retiming, and will probably start encoding soon. I was wondering though, what codec would people prefer I encode in? (If anyone is reading this thread at all lol)

I am. lol. Great that this series is getting a move on. I've seen this show when I was a baby so I don't remember a thing. Except that I was nicknamed zhu ba jie. Crying

Anyway, I like the divx/xvid codec so I can play it in my divx standalone. Hard or soft subs doesn't matter...I just hope that the subs won't get cut off on my tv. Smile

So there are only 2 of you working on this series right now? I'd love to help edit the subs. I can't promise how much or well Mr. Green

I can do but I can certainly do some. salut

my insomnia is killing me...

Oh okay. So any idea how big I need to make the font or how high up I need to place the subs?
EDIT: And also, what font and colour and size would be good for the subs?

Bankai:

I am coming pretty late to this party, but wanted to throw this into the mix: I have an off-the-air vhs copy of most of JTTW (1986) with English subs that I recorded off a San Francisco TV station about 1989-1990. Unfortunately, the video quality is pretty bad, although the translation is excellent. Have tried unsuccessfully to track down the producer. Would it be worth investing the next six months of my life in ripping to avi, and trying subrip to create the subs? I suspect even at that they would need considerable editing.

I wouldn't want you to waste time and effort trying to get the subs unless you were very very determined. In the end, it's your choice.
