Literal translation might work for something like Spanish to Italian, but not Japanese to English. There are times when you have to adapt the intended meaning to the language rather than stick with the literal translation. Ironically, there are times when sticking to a literal translation results in a less accurate translation. So, it's not a good idea to always rigidly stick to only literal translation.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Japanese is a very different language from English, with its own conventions and rules. Pretty much all translations are non-literal, just to avoid making no sense. So if we're not being literal in the first place, why do we suddenly have to be literal just to acknowledge a piece of butchered English? In my opinion, "Third Child" is still the best option.

I made an account on these forums to tell you that for me, everything was going smoothly until opened the x86 version of VirtualDub2 and got the following error:

I tried fixing it by changing all of the C:'s in both the scripts and Settings provided in the zip file to no avail as it gives me this error:

I put all my stuff in my Y: drive because my C: drive is running out of space. So, how do I fix this error?

Thanks for trying my project!

Did you move your files after using DGIndex to encode a constant frame rate? The d2v file you created has a path in it pointing to the correct VOB, so moving the VOB will break the path. You can try manually editing the path to fix it, or just redo the DGIndex step.

If that doesn't work, I have a few other ideas. But I should mention that I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to processing video, which is why I recommend using the exact same versions of the software specified in my guide—otherwise, it may not work at all, or if it does, you may get different results. I mention this because you said you're using VirtualDub2, whereas I used VirtualDub 1.10.4 for my videos.

As for the first error you got, you can also delete this line in my AVS script entirely instead of manually editing it:

Code: Select all

LoadPlugin("C:\Evangelion\DVD\DGDecode.dll")

Then simply put DGDecode.dll in AviSynth's plugin folder for it to load automatically.

I just want to say it's really cool that people are still interested in this thread and you're still replying to people.
