Saved on 2021-07-08 19:00:33. This copy includes the description and comments available at capture.
Description
Raws used: AreaRaw (60fps, presumably to de-interlace. Only usable DVD encode. If you are an encoder, I have the ISOs, contact me on discord.)
Script used: A-Flux&Lunar (Hardsubbed, required an entire re-time, and sometimes rewording/rewriting.)
Transcriber/Timer/Subber: Me, Private (None of the translation is mine, I'm just a subber.)
(P.S. Basic typesetting is done by me.)
Contact info: Private#1951 (discord)
If you would like to work on projects with me, or help me out with this one, please contact me.
If you're a translator and want to work on older anime series (60s-90s) I'd definitely be down to time!
Transcribing is definitely the hardest part, so if you're a fast typer and want to help let me know.
Enjoy this release, I'm not sure if I'll work on more and at what rate. Any questions? Ask me directly on discord.
Filename is based off of Arearaw's release.

But are you really transcribing.
I suppose you meant to say you are doing ocr+edit.
I meant what I said lol
Manual ocr + edit is not transcribing.
I just told you I didnt use OCR. I rewatched the video and manually transcribed each character by my keyboard. I reworded sentences that didn't use proper english. What are you on about?
Yes you aren't using OCR software to OCR but it is not transcribing is what I mean.
Why wouldn't it be? I'm writing down hardsubbed text into Notepad so I can actually time it.
Transcribe definition:
"put (thoughts, speech, or data) into written or printed form."
In this case, I'm putting text encoded into the video itself into written form so I can re-time. What's wrong with using the term transcribing?
The definition's implication is that the source thoughts, speech or data aren't in written form.
And that's true! The hardsubs aren't in written form since they're apart of the video, so what's your point?
The implication when using OCR is that you're using software, so you run into the same problem.
sameer - Read this. Transcribing it is. Or at least fansubbers use it like this.
Thank god someone with braincells lmao
Yeah sorry for not knowing the meaning made by anime fansubbers.
Meanwhile you act like you know, lol, if you had asked it as a question then it would've been fine instead of "Nah, I've worked on zero subbing projects, but I just wanna say it's OCR and not transcribe" when that's really only applicable to programs.
Simply commenting, putting forth arguments is not acting like I know despite having supposedly 0 experience. I believe none of my comments suggested anything in that direction. From a couple of individuals that did transcribe, I didn't hear them say transcribe for what they were doing. They were writing the hardsubbed subtitles by hand without the aid of any OCR software. And the only other places I have seen the word being used have nothing to do with dehardsubbing anime videos.

"to change a piece of writing or music into another form, for example into a different writing system or into music for different instruments"
I bet cambridge dictionary is made by anime fansubbers.
