Not calling it shit until it ends. Started out okay at best.

**Kirin** · 2011-10-09 20:38

Recently downloaded a new version of VLC.

C3 works fine.
Persona 4 works fine.
Fate/Zero is suddenly an all green screen regardless of sub group i get it from. But Unlimited Translation Works version of Unlimited Blade Works movie works perfectly fine. UTW's Fate/Zero episode 2 was working ok (had a bit of slowdown during the opening for some reason) before the VLC upgrade.

Delete VLC, codecs/coreavc/everythingyouhave. Install latest CCCP Beta. Enjoy.

I liked seed, but destiny was horrible. (Although I still don't regret watching and rewatching them both.) Also:

Spoiler: show

What Deadgye said. VLC sucks when it comes to 10-bit encodes (and does in general). You can do the latest stable CCCP release rather than beta though, that has 10-bit decoding as well.

**Deadgye** · 2011-10-09 20:46

I've never considered the beta as a beta. In all my years of using the beta releases I'd have to say that they're just as stable as any official 'stable' release. Not to mention use more up to date codecs.

**arus2001** · 2011-10-09 20:50

Just gonna mirror dumping VLC. Shit was crappy for me years back, and not at all surprised it still sounds that way.

**warc** · 2011-10-09 20:55

I did this for hi10p files: http://haruhichan.com/wpblog/?p=205

CCCP codec wasn't working for me on the older release and couldn't be assed to find the beta release. I've used CCCP for years and never had problems til hi10p encodes. Still using mpc-hc though. Best player I've used. If the new CCCP codecs can play newer encodes I'll probably switch over to that, but I've found no problems with this set up.

**Hitoru** · 2011-10-09 20:59

Honestly, I just use Media Player Classic with the K-lite codec packs and everything has been running beautifully for me without issue

**Avvesione** · 2011-10-09 21:11

MPC is what I use normally and I something use VLC for older subs. Both do fine for me except 10-bit needs to be MPC since VLC won't play them at all.

Also, my thoughts on Persona4, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, and Ben-To:

Anyone watch Mirai Nikki yet? I wasn't planning on watching it but I forgot what reason I had and am kinda looking into it now. I saw Ker's post but wanted to gather more opinions on it before watching the first episode.

**Ezek** · 2011-10-09 21:28

If anyone decides to go the madVR route in the guide warc linked, you no longer need to download Haali as madashi recently updated madVR to support subtitle display. That being said, if you have a strong enough GPU, I would suggest doing madVR + MPC for the best image quality.

I'm only really following a few series at the moment: Gintama, Fate/Zero, and Persona 4. I still remember watching anywhere from 8 to 10+ series every season a few years back, lol. Guess I'm just tired of the rehashed shit that they keep pumping out.

**Kirin** · 2011-10-09 22:39

Much obliged for the help, working splendidly now!

**octopus** · 2011-10-09 23:34

Really enjoyed fate zero 2. Can't wait for more.

Ep2 was awesome... especially that one crazy killer guy... i think he will bring some the more interesting "dark" stuff in the series O_o

alot interesting ecchi and action animes coming out, should be interesting season

**Zilong** · 2011-10-10 00:41

Fate/zero

Spoiler: show

**Skai** · 2011-10-10 01:19

Saber in that suit looks so balling.

I remember watching Stay Night awhile ago but stopped halfway for unknown reasons and want to finish it before getting deeper in Zero. Should I just marathon the series or watch the movie recap version?

**Gokulo** · 2011-10-10 01:42

Anime has some weird story afaik? Combined the scenarios or something. Never watched the series, preferred to read the VN - it's awesome stuff, but loong :D The UBW Movie is faithful to it, but story is rushed since, well... it's a movie so it's short

The movie isn't a recap (well, it kinda has one, but..), the original game has 3 different storylines, and no single one is cannon, they all work on the same basic story "facts" (essentially, stuff you're going to see in Zero), with a few key choices resulting in the different events occurring in the game.
The anime is largely the "Fate" scenario (they tried to hit a few notes of the other paths), the movie is the "Unlimited Blade Works" scenario. So watching one doesn't really compensate for the other.
The "Heaven's Feel" scenario hasn't had an adaption (yet, according to Elcura.)

To get the most out of Zero, you'll need all 3.

Zero is completely cannon, and if you watched ep 1 and 2 already, you've kind of had a few of the twists of Fate and Heaven's Feel spoiled for you.

And yeah, suit Saber is boss. I mean, who the hell doesn't like the Turks? Same basic principle.

I'm not sure why you diss the show so early, it could still be fun to watch. What killed Gundam Seed was the terrible writing and plot, and we have yet to see that for AGE.

Sakura on a bondage suit is kinda a heaven's feel adaptation (lol)

I'm a glass is half-full of chlorinated water that's been sitting on there for a while and probably tastes like ass kind of guy
