Re:SadCAST audio – is it working?

Alas, audio was bad for sadcast 15, and still is for no 16. I will now try to download it on itunes, which typically will take forever!

Strange though… previous sadcasts were just fine on google video.

Addendum

I just dowloaded the mp.4 of SadCast 16 and then watched it on Goolgle video. To be blunt, the audio sucked out loud on Google, but the mp.4 was so clear I heard Hollydays little one in the background during the opening intro. So, in short – [size=9]too late[/size], it ain’t just you.

For me, it’s generally ok. It does seem to fade in and out a bit, and of course, the last sadcast(15) is totally inaudible save for the clips. I haven’t dowloaded any, maybe I’ll give that a try. I’m just glad I finally got the chance to watch ’em! Good job by the way. *claps*

Jepp. The audio is almost not audible. Either the audio is using 1kbps bandwidth 🙂 or maybe it’s been equalized wrong in the reencoding on Google?

SadCAST audio – is it working?

Is itr just me or is the audio on the sadcasts very bad if watched via Google Video?

If i download them via iTunes or watch them by first downloading them from Google (but not watchiung them via the google player) they play fine. If I just wacth them through Google video the sound is really awfull

Does anyone else have this problem?

Good summary.

I found the whole series fascinating.

[quote=”SadGeezer”]I’ll probably do a review of either FLCL (a whacky and fast pased Anima sci fi series) or a sci fi horror series called MPD (Multiple Personality Detective) Psycho…[/quote]

Just finished watching the MPD (Multiple Personality Detective) Psycho mini-series. Not to shabby. I think your genre tag should instead be “Takashi-Miike/Sci-Fi” 😉

[b]Short summary:[/b]
The story is centered around a police detective named Yosuke Kobayashi that finds his wife killed by a serial-killer. Unable to cope with the loss, he gains a new personality in the form of Kazuhiko Amamiya. Amamiya, being a brilliant profiler, is able to track down the killer and during the confrontation kills him. But the killing of the serial-killer doesn’t seem to stop the killings. New bodies crop up everywhere and it seems that the same killer is still out there. Tooru Sasayama, a senior police detective that have been working with Amamiya in solving the murders, is still in the dark concerning the murders. The mini-series follows them and many other characters in their search for the origin of the murders.

Anyone out of stuff to see should definitely check this one out.

[b]Notice:[/b]

This series is extremely graphic and if that’s not your thing you should avoid it.

The filming is done digitally without any form of post-processing, like adding grain and frame-rate adjustment. It gives it a kind of “cheap” look, but in my view brings the characeters “closer to life”, much like some of Lars von Trier’s work as [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108906/]Riget (The Kingdom)[/url].

Keeping up with the subtitles can be a bit hard at times, as the text is machinegunning away on the bottom of the screen. 😀

I just wanted to express my appreciation to Sadgeezer and the rest of the crew for taking the trouble to:

1 – upload a copy of the film on google video and make it available for public viewing

2 – taking the trouble to add english subtitles to this russian movie

Up to now, I had no idea that this fascinating film even existed!

Once again, many thanks.

I’ve added a SadCAST Review of Kin Dza Dza – one of the best sci fi comedies ever made.

I also uploaded the Film (subtitled) to Google Video. Go to Google video and search for [b]Kin Dza Dza[/b]

It’s dead. I killed it. It’s locked in my basement.
