Keeping busy

Spent a good chunk of this week struggling with video issues; the client sent me some MP4s which vdubmod was mangling, probably because of faulty metadata making vdubmod think they were 25 FPS video. Eventually I fired up my copy of Super C and just brute-force re-encoded everything...

One more episode to finish timing. Hopefully I'll have a nice, stress-free weekend.

Work runneth over at the day job. We've got so much rendering to do that our Indian staff is starting to quit in protest at too many hours... definitely a better problem to have than too little work, especially these days. I guess all the lawyers woke up?

Biggest disadvantage of having lots of day job and timing work is that I've fallen well behind on new anime. Should be plenty of time to catch up when this series is over, I hope. (Or if there isn't, that's good too, in its own way.)

1 Hey Avatar, I can't ask this on Chizumatic, or Steven will nuke it for topic drift:  in your comment about Endless Eight, you referenced Lost Universe Ep.4.... was that the witness protection episode, or the nurse ship episode? I suppose I could dig my DVD's out and check, but do I really want to watch any of it again?  No. No, I don't. /shudder.

2 It's been so long, I don't remember what the actual episode was about. It's legendary because it's one of the vanishingly rare cases where an episode of anime just plumb failed to be ready in time for airing. Usually they can cut a bunch of corners to squeak in, but LU 4 was so far behind, they had to go to the TV station with not much more than an animatic and the audio. Sad, sad, sad.

3 Ah ok, nothing I'd have seen on the DVD's then.   Amazing, really; they clearly weren't wasting the time writing a decent script.
