Still no new AMV but here's Haruhi!

I'm still busy with many things after moving to my new office. Busy busy all day long. I do plan a few song, but very old rock song by SEARCH. Maybe it's not up to taste with younger generation, but I still love Melayar Bahtera and I think it's a very good piece of music to create AMV.

However, in the other camp, there are some new development. Irugaoniisama from puteranime just release a new AMV, using Haruhi Suzumiya stock footage. Everything including the song. Remember the ENOZ song from episode 12?

Hmm.. Reminds me a lot of Linda Linda Linda!!! The scene & especially the guitar that Haruhi used to perform the song. Isn't that the same as Kei's guitar?

Takde amv baru sebab aku sibuk buka kedai

Aku sibuk sangat semingg ni.. ke sana sini menguruskan hal nak bukak kedai sendiri. Payah jga rupanya berniaga sendiri ni. Barulah aku tau.

InsyaAllah start minggu depan aku akan pindah kedai baru. Tak jauh dari kedai sekarang. seberang jalan je.. LOL

Apa-apa hal pun sabar menanti. Projek tetap jalan beb!!

Problem with vobsub & subtitle font attachment

A friend of mine tried the video + .ass subtitle on his computer and found something terrible. Everytime he play the video, the PC restart instantly without any warning. His machine run Win2k just like mine though.

After a few tries, I figure out it has something to do with ass font attachment. And I figure that might create potential problem with user with same rig as his - although I did successfully played the file on several computer running Win2k & WinXP.

So I attach here the same .ass script without font attachment. The font is in zip file and has to be install manually.

Simple Karaoke SFX for FLCL-Terharu

I decided to do karaoke SFX for my FLCL-Terharu amv today and finally gather my courage to try the process. Years ago I download the SSA subtitler tool and I'm totally lost. I never had any courage to try karaoke sfx again after that. I alwas envy people who can do great karaoke sfx especially in horor / goth-loli themed anime fansubs.

However, a friend request me a karaoke or at least a sub for my amv. I always thought a simple srt file is not appropriate for music videos although I made many before using Subtitle Workshop. Perhaps this is the right chance for me to try sfx once more, I thought.

This time I downloaded Aegisub. This is an advance & easy subtitle editor for ASS / SSA format - used by many to create subs & SFX.

I found Aegisubs relatively easy to understand & operate, even without manual. Unless someone never really tried subtitling before. For more info about Aegisub please visit the wikipedia. I tried Sabbu before but I think Aegisubs is better IMO.






For this karaoke sfx, I use very basic method of styling coz I'm still experimenting all those option & settings. The sfx help file (internet) is unavailable ATM. I use the font CroissantD. If you guys don't have the font, don't worry. I did attach it with the file (it's actually merged with the .ass file so you don't have to manually install it.

You will need the Vsfilter (DirectVobSub) to load the subtitle while playing the video. If you have any kind of codec pack installed it's most likely that directVobSub is already in your system. If you don't, get CCCP here. You might need to turn off the "Pre-buffer subpictures" option in DirectVobSub to make sure the karaoke works.

The .ass styling is rather basic but you still need a fair PC to play the karaoke smoothly. A mid Pentium III pc is needed.

BTW, this subtitle is sync to match the HQ version of FLCL - Terharu amv. You can get the video here.

get FLCL-Terharu-amv.zip

Enjoy!

Welcome to AMV-Malaysia [English]

Welcome to 'Anime Music Video Malaysia' blog.

This blog is created to set a proper way for me to develops & present my own AMV collection to other fans of this genre.

This blog wil show AMV that is created & edited by myself or by another colleagues and such. The main point is to create AMVs with Malay / Indonesia flavours or something that created by fellow Malaysians.

This blog by NO means serve as an official site of Malaysia AMV's since there is none actually exist (as far as I know). I was hoping that it can be so in the future.

Although (soon) many of the songs used in these AMVs is in Malay / Indonesian language, I hope that won't reduce your interest in our productions. Great music can break any culture or language barrier.

Please enjoy your visit and have a good time!

Selamat Datang dalam Bahasa Melayu di sini

1st comment & need for english post / transcript

I log in today and realize I had a comment on my FLCL AMv posting. It was in english. Hmm I didn't expect an english reader to comment first..

Then I go to my Google Analytics report and indeed there a few visitors from USA & Europe. I think they come from youtube or directly using the url inserted in the video.

Maybe I should do some posting in English or doing bi-language version.
