Fansub Queries

Raqia · March 11th, 2003

I know lots of you watch fansubs. How many gigs of fansubs do people keep around on HDD or CD's or do you just delete them after viewing?

(F)ragnarok(F) · March 11th, 2003

i burn them on a cd for later watching, then delete them

Raqia · March 11th, 2003

You mean a CD-RW? I tend to use normal CD's since they burn more quickly. That's important sometimes when the harddrives are rapidly filling up as you burn! I keep most of the CD's unless I get the series I like on DVD, in which case I just toss them.

I don't wanna sound stupid but what's a fansub?

Raqia · March 11th, 2003

It's a fan subtitled anime (could be a game or manga etc.) Usually they're done for unlicensed animes that aren't released in the U.S. or certain anime w/ atrocious official subtitle quality. You'll get tidbits about culture and details w/ the fansubs you don't get w/ official subs by big companies like ADV. Back in the day, you had to send out a letter to these groups w/ a VHS tape to ask for a bunch of eps. Now, w/ the internet and common broadband connections, digital subs offer tons better quality and convenience. Try www.animesuki.com for a great site offering fansubs via bit-torrent if you're into anime.

I burn them in to cd after watching them on HD. And I keep my favourites inside my HD.

Raqia · March 11th, 2003

How about posting a few numbers

? I estimate my collection at 680 gigs. That's not including the official DVD's have which would easily double that... yes I'm quite the otaku. I'm interested in knowing how much everyone else has since this anime collecting is becoming something of an obession!

Janus · March 11th, 2003

Mine numbers at 50 gigs of cd-r's..
280 gigs? geez thats alot..

**Kane** · March 11th, 2003

In Gigs? dunno. I have 500CDs of DivXed anime and a further 40 gigs on my HDD, which I'll burn off next time I get some blanks.

Janus · March 11th, 2003

500...????

How do you even find one if your looking for it..lol

**Kane** · March 11th, 2003

>How do you even find one if your looking for it..lol

I have an Access database.

Eface · March 11th, 2003

/me just keeps it on 180 gig hdd that's all i can. cd's dont work to well in the end...

Napro · March 11th, 2003

well considering my anime addiction literally increases daily now. id say i have about err...150CD's of anime (all 700MB discs of course)

Kid A · March 11th, 2003

I have some Cd's here and there... maybe 3 or 4 gigs...

Badaro · March 11th, 2003

~220GB last time I checked.

Not counting Official DVDs, of course.

As for the original question, I watch them and burn to CDRs.

[]s Badaro

**Kellicros** · March 11th, 2003

108cdrs... 23gigs on HD.

**Yeloazndevil** · March 11th, 2003

around 50 gigs all anime in DivX format on CD-R's and about 70 gigs on HHD, I need to burn them to cd's since I only have a 80 gig HHD

Mr. Killjoy · March 11th, 2003

I burn it on CDRs, since they're often mpeg1, I can read them in my dreamcast

**Yeloazndevil** · March 11th, 2003

or burn them on a DVD-R and watch them in your DVD player, well u can do it with VCD/SVCD, but quality isn't that great......but I can't afford a DVD Burner

**Kane** · March 11th, 2003

I nnever keepp any in VCD format. Perhaps the best way to sy it is how much (length) of anime do you have?
Assuming all of my records are 30 mins long (Not an unfair assumption as a umber are a couple of hours, and a number are 20 minutes), I have 1147 hours (47 days, 19 hours) of anime.
