Nope Ubuntu, didn't want to waste my bandwith on a whole DVD for YDL.

i prefer hardsubbed. firstly, why i prefer hardsubbed coz i don't understand the language they spoke. secondly, i doesn't know how to insert the softsubbed into the movie/drama. therefore, i love to see the colour of the subtitle... hehehe

Just wondering, how come hardly anyone (well no one I've noticed so far) in the drama fansub community uses a modern container like MKV and modern video codec (H264) for their releases? IMO they are vastly superior e.g the use of H264 decreases the file size while retaining the same quality.
You mean old dramas? As far as I've noticed, the newer dramas are in mkv and h264. Well, at least all the newer ones I've gotten are encoded in that at least. And I started getting those last spring.

H264 takes quite a lot of CPU.
For some reason people tend to confuse H.264 with HD ("high definition"). Of course both are completely unrelated. Even YouTube has started using H.264. The decoder has been in Shockwave Flash for more than a year. Playback of standard resolution H.264 video results in 5% load on a 2.6GHz CPU (single core). Xvid takes 2%. Big deal.

If the quality difference between XviD/DivX and H264 was just as bad as MPEG-1 and XviD/DivX, then I can see making the jump.
H.264 makes Xvid/DivX look like MPEG-1 indeed. It's just a matter of bitrate. Here's an example:

This is H.264 at 622kbps:
And here's Xvid at 622 kbps:
See the difference?
Anime fansubbers have looked at the numbers and realized that computer speed is no longer the bottleneck. The new bottleneck is network bandwidth, especially upload speed. In a BT context, small files will generate a larger number of complete copies (i.e. more seeders) within a given time period. If you release files that are literally hundreds of megabytes larger than necessary, you should not be surprised to see more and more people using streaming sites.

With the current state of the economy world-wide, I'm afraid that we'll be stuck with using DivX/XviD for at least another two years.
That doesn't make sense unless your goal is to kill off what is left of that economy.
