Wow, thanks so much! This has helped fill some gaps in the earlier part of my GCCX raws collection. I would like to discuss further what you’ve got, to see if you have or could get some things that are missing from my GCCX stash. If you want to PM/email?
I can give you this one for example. It’s very brief, but it’s the episode you describe.
This one I’d never heard of before, so thanks for the find! Arino appearances are a long winding rabbit hole. I think he was only on that one ep of IISPO, that ErnieYoung has put up. But there’s a lot of episodes of AmeTalk and Mecha Mecha.
Sure, you can PM with a list of things and I’ll see if I have them, but I did already look for the other vids you mentioned and I’m missing the same ones. I don’t have a big stash of rare stuff, please don’t get your hopes up But I did install PD a year or so back and grabbed literally everything that was tagged gccx. If you could upload that episode you mentioned that would be awesome!
In the same way as other videos, I will encode the GCCX episode with CBR from now on.
However, I think that the improvement in video quality is hard to feel and the size has simply increased.
I did a quick comparison with the previous episode.
The game capture looks identical in quality while the shots in the challenge room with Arino look slightly better in terms of micro-details (Arino’s hair, the writing on the back of the TV etc.).
The quality increase is not that much and it looks worse than say Suiyoubi no Downtown, maybe it’s due to the camera used or the way the show is produced and aired that makes it feel lower quality.
Archivists will disagree but I don’t think the minor increase in quality is worth the extra size.
I am curious to know what the others think about it.
