[not.sushi] Trigun (DVD HEVC x265 768x576 AC3) [Dual-Audio]

Were the audio/subs actually properly retimed for this?

Subs and audio appear to be properly timed. I don't notice anything off.

However, these are just the basic VobSubs which I honestly find pretty ugly and jarring nowadays. I've OCR'd them to ASS files; if anyone wants them, I've uploaded them here: https://mega.nz/file/GVElUYba#EMnhXAtMmoD_LEdSg_GDA4vODx7hKMDWX5Zt88UhO7o

Nothing fancy and basic styling, but at least they render at a nice resolution instead of looking like a SNES JRPG textbox

Thanks, NeoGohan—and VobSubs have always been ugly as sin, we just had to grin and bear it back in the day. If anyone doesn’t like Tahoma and wants to switch to a different font, just find this line:
Style: Dialogue1,Tahoma,32,&H00E1E1E1,&H000000FF,&H1F000000,&HC7000000,0,0,0,0,100,100,0,0,1,1.4,1.7,2,60,60,15,1
And change “Tahoma” to whatever you want.

I personally prefer the dub for this show (literally the only anime of all the 1000+ I’ve watched that I can say that for with zero caveats), so it doesn’t really affect me all that much personally, but still… VobSub needs to die in a fire.

BTW, this is ridiculously common, but the track flags are set incorrectly. First, the audio. The “default” flag is meant to tell the player which to choose when there are multiple audio tracks in the same language, for example to keep from defaulting to a commentary track. With 2 languages, tracks in BOTH languages should be flagged as default. Setting the English track to default and not the Japanese track will NOT tell the player to default to the English track. That is determined by the player’s language settings. Second, subs. A signs track should never be set as the default track! The default track should be the track that the player will automatically default to when the audio language is different. A signs track should not have the default flag but have the forced flag. That way the player will pick it when the audio language is in the same language as that subtitle track. In any player that actually respects flags properly (many do not), this means it should automatically pick the dialogue track (flagged as default) when the audio track is set to Japanese, then when you switch the audio to English, it should automatically switch the subs to the signs track (flagged as forced). Finally, setting an English subtitle track's language to Japanese is just dumb.

P.S. My primary concern is ensuring I don’t have to fish something out of the closet that can play DVDs if I want to watch this again.
