Dattebayo listens to user feedback - switches to MKV starting immediately

2008/04/10

Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC is proud to announce that effective immediately, all future releases will be encoded using the superior MKV video container. After we have switched to H264 video compression, we have received countless suggestions from our fans to look into "MKV", a high quality free audio/video container which allowed HIGH DEFINITION video to be stored at a FRACTION of file size as compared to equally encoded and processed AVI file. Our video encoding staff immediately downloaded and evaluated the MKV compression tools and found them to be highly superior to our currently used beta of Windows Movie Maker 2.1, and as a result, we will be releasing all our products directly in MKV form. MKV will allow us to release ultra-high definition versions of both Bleach and Naruto (1920x1080p) with 7.1 channel surround sound while keeping the same reasonable file size of 170MiB. To give you a sample of what awaits you after the switch to MKV, we're releasing [DB] Bleach 166 HDTV. Starting next week, both Bleach and Naruto will be using this new amazing format.

We will no longer release episodes in inferior "AVI" format, and this weeks Bleach will be the last "AVI" encoded release. We will NOT release in both AVI and MKV, or any other format besides MKV.

We will not accept complaints from our users who are unable to play these releases at full resolution.
