Frequently asked questions

[takenoko]

Q. May I use your subs at a club showing? Can I post your video on my site?
A. Yes. We only discourage people from using our subs for profiting like ebay, pay-for-download sites, etc. We're the ones working hard on the shows and we're giving it away for free, why should our stuff be used by others to earn them some money? It doesn't make sense

Q. How can I download these videos?
A. Our main distribution method is using our tracker and bittorrent clients. Next is our direct downloads forums. Finally you can also get our videos from our irc channel. More info on that here

Q. How do I play these videos?
A. These videos are encoded with xvid, so you'll probably need an xvid codec to play them back. I usually recommend getting ffdshow and installing that (this will let you play in media player or whatever video player you prefer) or vlc player. If you have any problems, this is the forum for you

Q. You guys spend so much time fansubbing, can I donate to you guys?
A. This post explains how you can contribute to takenoko's ramen fund, I mean DVDs for group projects and server maintenance.

Q. Subject: Are you subbing the movie of this Sentai/Kamen Rider show that you're subbing?
A. Take a look at TV-Nihon's history of subbing Sentai and Kamen Rider before asking if we sub movies/the versus specials.

Q. Do you have YGO raws?
A. We don't give out YGO raws. They're rare because they only were released on VHS and laserdisc. We've got them because we bought copies for ourselves and are doing our own encoding.

Q. When do Sentai/Rider movies come out?
A. The movies usually are in theaters August/September

Kamen Rider movie comes out January the next year
Sentai movie in February
The Sentai versus movie in March

Please don't ask when we'll release before the DVDs are released

Q. Will you seed/reupload series X?
A. I only keep like commercials and stuff, so personally I can't do anything. You can make a reseed request on the correct section of the forums

Q. Will you guys ever sub GaoRanger, Hurricaneger, or AbaRanger?
A. Skewed-Studios are subbing all three of them. Most of the staff here also works on that team, so if you like our subs, then you'll probably like theirs too.

Q. Can I request you sub this...?

I've had an account on your tracker for quite a while now, but for some reason it been deleted. My ratio was between 15.00 and 20.00 and I'm still uploading now, any idea why it was deleted? My tracker name was rowie4life.

Thanks.

I was just wondering about some movie releases and the Director Cut releases of it:
I'd thought that DC=longer=better, but then why are the non-DC releases still up?
(Somehow it partly gives me a feeling of you 'should dl and watch both' )
