Sypnosis: This Project D Fourth Stage Special dvd features racing scenes made entirely with computer graphics, however more advanced cell-shading is to be used to make the CG scenes a bit less conspicuous beside the traditional animation. The plot of the previous 3 stages are fetured as well as the creative staff of the whole Initial D production staff. Much behind the scenes look will be featured and all this is hosted by none other than the Drift King Mr. Keichi Tsuchiya. ^Credit to Jackadeal.com

oh wow..i'm dl thisbut can more ppl please seed?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 06:21 AM
Please seed people. Dont be selfish.Anyone that isnt seeding/uploading at least 250mb by the end of the download will be banned/ kicked from the torrent. I dont want to have to do that but we need seeders to keep the torrent alive. So far I can see one person barely seeding for how much he/she has completed. This person is really starting to annoy me since they are taking away everyones speed. So Im going to have a speed limit.So far im the only person with the whole file. Im sure many of you wont like it when I have my settings to no upload like some of you are doing.

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 17 2004, 10:03 AM
isn't 250mb a bit low... that's not even 1/4 of the whole total size.. i say 700-900mb would be good...heck if you can seed more that'll be great. once my dl comes to close i'll seed at maxium power

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 10:50 AM
Thanks a lot likquidpopx. I need as much help as I can get. Im uploading so much that this webstie is having problems loading and espcially hard posting.

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 17 2004, 11:35 AM
what happened to 154.20.197.212? did this person finish the DL already? and why isn't this person seeding...grrrr.

now my dl speed has dropped by 3/4 : /

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 11:50 AM
Its impossible that he could have finished already. Last time I checked he was half way done. I'm still the only person with the the full file right now but my friend will be done soon.

Posted by: Perry Jul 17 2004, 12:01 PM
Thanks for sharing, Takumi Treuno. happy.gif

hmm this should be advertised to get more people downloading and seeding... (subliminal message to admins...lol jk). well im done downloading from takumi trueno thanks to the courtesy of his bandwidth!! That means there are a total of 2 seeds now. So I'm gonna start seeding now and when you guys are done downloading so can YOU~

thx again, takumi trueno

..gonna go watch it now!!...

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 03:46 PM
*PLEASE READ*

I advise extreme caution to this IP address:154.20.197.212. Im 99% sure that he hacked me. Thankfully I know enough about computers to block him and fix the problem. What happened was that slowly my Upload speed went to 0. Everything else was slowly losing connection like my messenger. I checked my Xbox for its connection and it was also lost. I tried restarting my computer but that didnt help either. I did a virus scan and nothing was found either. Once I banned his IP address everythingstarted back working again. Thats why I believe he/she did it.

If I were any of you I would block him with your Firewall if you have one. I'm going to tell an Admin about this too. There shouldn't be hackers in IDW forums. Ive been to another forum tht was hacked. He was banned, I think that this person should be Banned too.

i dunno how to use torrent.. i just dl lol.... so when its finished leave it open to let people seed?

Posted by: Evolution Jul 17 2004, 05:35 PM
Just leave it open aslong as you can.

Yes, When you are finished downloading the file you just leave it open for others to downlod from you(uploading). Also make sure that the settings are set to uploading. You dont want to be uploading at a pathetic 3kb per second when you have DSL or Cable.

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 17 2004, 05:44 PM
to use bit torrent all you have to do is download a bit torrent client, i recommend the client ^^^^ in the first post by takumi trueno and then after you installed it all you have to do is right click on the torrent file that takumi trueno posted and choose "Save Target As..." and save it anywhere you want in your computer. Lastly, all you need to do is open up the small file that you have saved and it will ask you where you want to save it....then choose where ever you wish to save it to. then the download will automatically start. grin2.gif enjoy~

REMEMBER: keep your downloaded windows open as long as you can for other people to get a chance to download the file too!!

P.S. if you wish to resume it then all you ahve to do is open up the torrent file that you have saved again and save it where you originally saved your previous download file

i have juss finished watching it...its a great preview to Fourth Stage if you guys havent seen Fourth Stage yet then this is a must get file grin2.gif

the audio quality is great...
the video quality is great...
what else can you ask for? keep up the good work takumi trueno!!

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 17 2004, 05:45 PM
a hacker...? ohmy.gif

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 05:51 PM
This is my first time ripping a DVD and so far its the best quality that I have ever seen. If any body wants something ripped I have every DVD of Initial D so just ask. I heard somewhere that there is no good quality of Extra Stage so I may rip that if enough people want it. Do you people want Initial D Extra Stage too?

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 17 2004, 05:54 PM
how big is the file?

QUOTE
hmm this should be advertised to get more people downloading and seeding...


agreed...maybe you can submit this to sites like animesuki...anime-kraze...etc. it would greatly increase the speed

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 06:05 PM
If your talking about the Prelude to Project D file then its a little more then 1900mb(1.9gb) . If your asking about how big my ripped version of Extra Stage is, then I don't know yet. I havent ripped it yet. Im guessing it will be a little over 2000mb(2bg). Probably more then that though. But if I'm gonna rip Extra Stage, enough people will have to want and download it. Two people wanting a file may not be enough for me want to rip it.

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 17 2004, 06:11 PM
yeah i was asking about extra stage...phew 2gb+ is surely a lot... but i think this time you seriously need more peers....cause damn this prelude dl is taking me forever... usualy i dont leave on my computer for hours or even days but in this case i have to just cause it's initial d wink2.gif

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 06:19 PM
Well 2bg of DVD quality video is worth the space. Its not like it is wasted space.Please don't complain about the download speed. Im using all of my connection right now just seeding this torrent. Thats why I need others to seed.

Edit:One person is about to finish their download they are 98.6% done. PLease help me seed. Right now there is only one other seed. The speed of other peoples downloads depends on how many there are uploading(seeding)

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 17 2004, 06:58 PM
i vote for the Extra Stage rip!! grin2.gif

Posted by: EvilTaxi Jul 17 2004, 07:48 PM
I second that vote.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 07:52 PM
But like I have said. Two people isnt enough to push me to do it right now. I'm still thinking about it though.

Posted by: Perry Jul 17 2004, 09:04 PM
The IP 154.20.197.212 is banned from this forums as of now.

The person with that IP violated the TOS.


Thanks. A Initial D Torrents Section will soon be created. I hope that might help the situation here.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 17 2004, 09:11 PM
Thanks a lot Perry. I've asked others and they too think that I have been hacked. This was my first time being hacked. Thank You for also going with my idea for the Torrent Section. I dont want to post a torrent if I'm not gonna be first on the thread. It will make it hard for others to find the torrent if I'm not the first. Again Thank You so much.

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 18 2004, 07:06 AM
okay my DL is near complete...if the speed keeps up i'll be done in approximately 15 mins..okay so what i'm going to do is when the DL finish i'm going to restart the computer and burn my brother a game (he's been bugging me about this since yesterday and i promised him i'll do it after the DL finished) and once the game finishes i'll come back and *super seed* for you guys... and i'm hoping i'l be able to seed all day today *unless my dad turns off the comp whistling.gif * but yeah... guys...today's the day to DL if you want seeds...cause tomorrow i'm not seeding....my comp won't even be on... i gotta give my computer a good 1 day's rest pinch2.gif

but all and all thanks to takumi trueno for going through all this and baring with all of us and seeding for us all... you are the ownage happy.gif

Posted by: pother_hk Jul 18 2004, 11:07 AM
guys, just wanna ask how can you seed.....?

Posted by: Perry Jul 18 2004, 02:37 PM
Just let the download window open if you want to seed. Remember to config it so you are uploading at the maximum possible speed.

Posted by: BiBi Jul 18 2004, 03:21 PM
Rather than using the mp4 codec.... if you encode the video in fansub quality (divx or xvid at ~8-900 kb/s), you could greatly reduce the file size. A 2gig mp4 file would reduce to approx 6-700 MB in divx/xvid at 800kb/s. And the video quality would not degrade much at all.... (see fansubs).

The easiest program to do this would be VirtualDub.

Reducing the file size by encoding it in divx or xvid would make it a lot easier to share the file wink2.gif

Posted by: blazin_drift Jul 18 2004, 03:27 PM
I want to download this, but I want to make sure with you guys before i do. For some reason(I think it's a memory issue, bittorrent really uses memory doesn't it?), if I leave my bittorrent running for, maybe over 3 days straight, it crashes my computer(everything freezes). First of all, if I have the file done, would I be able to restart the download, and start seeding right away?

If you want more seeds, I suggest you submit it to anime.mirkx.com or suprnova.org

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 18 2004, 03:33 PM
Yes you are able to resume your download if the computer crashes on you. Bit torrent for me doesnt use that much memory.

Posted by: blazin_drift Jul 18 2004, 03:59 PM
Alright, i'm going to give it a try, I'll seed for as long as possible(until my dad starts complaining of a slow internet speed due to the high amount of upload). I can't offer too much though as my DSL isn't too great for some reason in my area.

Posted by: EvilTaxi Jul 18 2004, 04:00 PM
Hmm, who subbed the dvd anyway?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 18 2004, 04:10 PM
This is an HK dvd but somehow the subbing was messed up. I bought the axact one thats at Jack a Deal. ihave no idea what happened to the subbing. PLease dont complain too much. I knew someone would eventually ask something about that. Just please be happy with the quality of the video. I know that the subbing is not the greatest, but please just ignore that bad parts. Thats the only Initial D dvd that I have that did that.

Posted by: EvilTaxi Jul 18 2004, 06:12 PM
The video quality is excellent. Mmmmm, high resolution Yuri...... laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 18 2004, 06:34 PM
we need more seeds people...leave your download window open as long as you can...please!!!! there are still juss two seeds right now..i cant keep this up forever you know....

yes1!!! IDW finally have a bit torrent section!!! Thank you!!!~~

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 18 2004, 06:50 PM
welp...my seed's been up all day guys... and now i'm finally back home... i hope my seed's been doing okay...looks like i uploaded 847mb more since i restarted my comp

but i watched about 27 mins this morning....shiet it's awesome...i really like it and i just hope it gets even better later on happy.gif


[edit] watched all of it.... man it's really good... i really liked the recaps... it was really put together really well to explain the story. and they're saying they want heavier music for 4th stage? i rather they bring back the euro grin2.gif

Posted by: blazin_drift Jul 20 2004, 04:45 AM
We need more seeds, I'm the only seed and I wont be seeding too much longer.

EDIT: Just watched some of it, for some reason, after about 1 hour and 10mins, there's absolutely no audio. And also, i can't seem to use my video player (dviX player) to skip all the way to the end, it just goes back to the beginning. Has anyone else had any such problem?

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 20 2004, 08:41 AM
hmmm i didnt have tht problem when i was watching it.... mayb you need the mpeg-4 codec ....or try updateing your divx player....thats juss my suggestion though blink.gif

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 20 2004, 10:29 AM
LIke I said in the begining I used the Mpeg-4 codec ver3. Its obviously a special codec. Try getting the k-lite codec that will most likely fix your problem.

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 21 2004, 09:31 PM
im still seeding if anyone still wants it ~

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 21 2004, 09:35 PM
There are people still downloading this torrent so please keep seeding people. Im busy right now seeding for Initial D Extra Stage and Initial D version 3 OST since people still want it.

Posted by: Turbo 85 Jul 22 2004, 09:26 AM
thanx a lot takumi trueno. i think they should make u a mod or sumthin. happy.gif

Posted by: MasterT Jul 23 2004, 04:56 PM
I'm dling right now and only just started but once I am done I will try and seed for awhile. Thanks for this Takumi.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 23 2004, 09:13 PM
Sure thing MasterT. It seems that this torrent is doing very well. People are still downloading it which is good to see.

Posted by: MasterT Jul 24 2004, 09:31 PM
I third that!

BTW, I'm now seeding. If I'm not later and you need or just want another seed, IM me or PM me and I'll seed if I'm not using the computer for like a game or something.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 24 2004, 10:29 PM
Thank you everyone for appreciating what I have done. wink2.gif

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 25 2004, 09:52 AM
can someone tell me how to burn this into dvd format so i can watch it on my dvd player?


i tried using nero vision express but that took up 10 hours and when it was done and played it... the quality was really poor...the screen gets blurry and can't read the subtitles

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 25 2004, 02:42 PM
To burn any of my rips to a dvd you can encode it yourself to a .vob format and burn using Nero or whatever other DVD burning program. I heard you can use Roxio Media Creator and it will encode for you in the burning of the DVD. I dont burn much to dvd because of my huge hard drive I just dont bother. To get any of these programs just go to http://www.suprnova.org

Posted by: likquidpopx Jul 25 2004, 02:53 PM
anyone else have tips on this... would MPEG2 be the same as VOB?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 25 2004, 03:02 PM
Also would people please help me seed. There are still people downloading this video. There is only one other seed then me. I need some help since I still only have DSL right now. My Internet Explorer is extremely sluggish right now. Sometimes my posts fail so I have to copy and paste everything Im saying now just in case. Again please help people. I know MANY of you have this so please do help.

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 25 2004, 09:54 PM
comon people..help us seed...im pretty tired of doing this by myself you know...if i stopped seeding..and takumi trueno stops seeding...what are you guys gonna do then? dry.gif

dont ruin it for others dry.gif

Posted by: MasterT Jul 25 2004, 10:01 PM
I've been gone for the last two days, but I'm back and seeding again. Hopefully this will help since I have a fast internet and this doesn't even slow me down, so I will be able to keep it on for awhile. And like I said earlier, if you guys need or just want another seed, go ahead and IM me or PM me and I'll do it if I'm not busy.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 25 2004, 10:17 PM
Please just seed all that you can. Me and DrEVOIII seed all the time and at most there are 4 seeds at once on one trrent. I understand if you cant because you have 56k but please help all you can.

Posted by: d0ob0o Jul 26 2004, 10:52 AM
ya my comp is too slow so i cant seed sorry...but i just dled it and its kinda weird...wtf is with subs? chaps? and they have the tokyopop names...and i really like it when keisuke intorduces himself and the subs say ryosuke takahashi...

Posted by: blazin_drift Jul 26 2004, 01:05 PM
It's free, don't complain... As for burning it to DVD, get a program such as Main Concpet MPEG encoder and encode this sucker into MPEG with layer-2 audio(PCM takes up too much space). I've tried directly sticking this into Easy Media Creator, but it takes up to much space (6 gigs!). After you've encoded it to MPEG, get a program such as TMPEG DVD Author or maybe Ulead DVD Movie Factory or something.

Posted by: Jin Jul 27 2004, 09:39 PM
aiya 12 hours to go...damn

meh i can play this in DIVX right?

Posted by: DrEVOIII Jul 27 2004, 09:51 PM
yes you can...

Posted by: MasterT Jul 28 2004, 07:02 AM
k, I'm getting bad data from tracker when I'm uploading...what's going on? (sorry for being slightly bit torrent iliterate)

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 28 2004, 08:21 AM
That will happen every once in a while. There is no big problem. All you have to do is download the torrent again in the same place you just did as usual. I dont know why this happens because the tracker isnt down. If it ever gives the mesage, just re-download it. If you check right now, people are still seeding and there are people still downloading. The tracker is fine.

What are you talking about? You dont need to have a dvd burner to watch my rips. My rips are just videos. Just an .avi file that you watch on your computer. Also if you check,I always try to give the synopsis(brief description of the storyline) for any of the video torrents that I release.

Posted by: MasterT Jul 28 2004, 08:40 AM
yea, it's fixed now...for some reason it just wasn't working and showed no seeds or peers bu whatever.

Posted by: fr86 Jul 28 2004, 11:42 AM
Watched..

all i can say: WORST subtitles EVER.

"hi, im Jon" - keiichi Tsuchiya.

WTF? everything messed up, half the stuff they said didnt even make sense.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Jul 28 2004, 11:48 AM
All I can say is that is all that there is. Unless someone fan subs it, there will be no other subtitles then the HK one. That is the official HK dvd that I got from Chinatown. I dont know if it was just me that was unlucky to get this one bad subbing dvd. But that all there is. Unless you want no subtitles or I rip it with Chinese subtitles. Just please be happy with what you got. I was mad too but just please accept it. Again this is all that is out there un less some one can prove me wrong and please show me where I can get it. Also please dont make the situation worse by saying WTF, I did all that I can. Im going to try to get another "Prelude to Project D" dvd with better subtitles. This is the only torrent I have made which isnt all that it could be. If you saw my rip of Extra Stage, you will see that the subtitles for it are great.

What I'm talking about is burning the movie. I understand I can just click and watch but I can't keep a 2gig movie on my HD hence I have to burn it but I don't have a dvd burner. That's all. sad.gif

That doesn't say much... Is it just Keiichi presenting a behind the scenes look at initial d fourth stage or are there some extra scenes that explain the story with extra details not like in fourth stage where there is nearly 100% racing and talking about racers' auras and freaking special skills? blink.gif

Posted by: fr86 Jul 28 2004, 12:27 PM
gahahah, takumi, i didnt blame u for shit. I just said the subs suck and the WTF is to the dicks who tried top sub it.

You should see my Battle stage subs, the full lenght battle stage... man o man. Its like the guys who subbed it didnt even speak english lol.

Posted by: MasterT Jul 28 2004, 08:08 PM
yea, you did a good job ripping it Takumi, but the subs weren't very good...but it's still way better than not seeing it...after all, I have been seeding for lik 4 days straight...

after all these r just bootleggers trying to make a quick buck. That's why I say fansubs are better, because those ppl do it for the love of doing it grin2.gif When I work on manga translations, I try my best to do an accurate and direct translation.

Posted by: tensai Jul 31 2004, 01:01 PM
finished watching this
and i do agree, the subbing was just horrible
names were changed and mixed up, the order of what people said was changed, it had so much condradicting sayings (expecially when bunta was talking), and whats up with chap

anyways, the rip quality was good, and most of the things theyve shown ive seen already

Posted by: DrEVOIII Aug 1 2004, 01:10 AM
ATTENTION NO MORE SEED FROM ME~

if anyone whats a seed from me then juss PM me or post here for a revival and ill happily revive it for you..but in the meantime...i need to use my bandwidth for my other dls

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 2 2004, 07:12 PM
Would someone please help me seed. I am doing many things right now, but there are still people getting this torrent. I know there are many of you who got this from me so please help out. Helping me seed is a great way to say Thank You and repay me for what I have done for many of you.

Posted by: EvilTaxi Aug 2 2004, 07:14 PM
Sorry, but i don't have it anymore, had to make room for Extra Stage, which btw nobody is downloading!!!!!!!!!

Lemme post some pictures in one sec.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 4 2004, 11:14 PM
Attention, For anyone that is interested and hasnt downloaded the "Prelude to Project D". Please check my first post for preview pictures in a minute.

Posted by: Nai Aug 5 2004, 11:22 PM
thats good, pics help ppl decide on whether 2 d/l something or not. btw, i also recommend shareaza. its good 4 downloading bittorents. but maybe im just not good with the picking ports thing with something like bittornado. ANYWAYS, as it must've been said at least 10 times be4 make sure you seed. that way EVERY1 can get it.

also heres a description 2 those who only read the last page lol.

Picking ports is no problem at all as long as your XP firewall(if you hav it) is disabled, and possibly other firewalls are disabled/configured. You only need to pick ports if you have a router I beleive, even then, it's not hard at all even a 13 year old can do it.

Yes this is the HK dvd rip bu they messed it up some.

Posted by: intoxicatedpete Aug 12 2004, 05:47 PM
the names and stuff they used were from tokyopop's version wasnt it? senior Cole (Iketani)??? anyways i think my special cd in my 3rd stage is better (was it u takumi trueno that said that?).

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 12 2004, 06:04 PM
OK, I know that the subtitles were badd on this dvd of mine but its the only one in which they are bad. The subtitles are out of my control. And yes for those who have watched my rip of Initial D Third Stage Special Disc have seen that the subtitles are much better.

Posted by: intoxicatedpete Aug 12 2004, 06:38 PM
haha my dvd's subtitles are BAD too. but the content was much more interesting. thats wut i meant.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 12 2004, 06:51 PM
O ya, the content in the special disc i find more intersting then the Prelude to Project D. They tell you more about it, how they made it, the actors and everything.

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 22 2004, 11:06 AM
I'm sorry to say this but this rip is not good. The image is worse than a avi file with 700MB and 85minutes long. The subs are crap. Now you know why i hate avi files with the subs on them. I can't do anything to get a better quality. The size of this file is insane. 1,92GB for almost nothing. The rip is not good, it looks like a tv rip because of the lines on the video. In my mind if all your rips have this image you should learn more about how to rip better. The subs i know it's not your fault but you could rip just the video and than put the subs. If they are out of the avi file we can do everything to get a better final work. This is a tv rip for me not dvd rip. The audio could also be better since is a dvd source.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 22 2004, 11:11 AM
This is the quality of the rip. It has nothing to do with me. If you have seen any of my other rips you will be amazed. Dont complian. The dvd itself wasnt that good of quality. I dare you to download any of my other rips and then you tell me if its bad quality or not. Also make sure you have the right codecs.

Edit: I have checked the video again and there isnt "lines" or whatever your talking about. Make sure you have all the codec and video acceleration up all the way. I have watched videos without the proper codecs and I think I know what you are talking about. Still this is the only rip thats not good quality. I dare you to get one of my other rips. Will you take this dare? Also dont come and tell me about how I dont know how to make proper and good quality rips.

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 22 2004, 02:12 PM
The lines are not visible every time. It's like when you rip something and when something is moving you get like some scanlines on where the object was. It's not about codec or mey pc because if it was codec, virtual dub would not open the video, and a message asking me to get the right codec would show up. I have de mpeg 4 codec, this kind of things happen to me too when i dont configure the program right when i'm saving the file. I'm not saying that your other rips are bad but this on is more on the subs that are crap. Now you know why i hate files with the subs on them. You can fix the errors and need to deal with them.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 22 2004, 02:35 PM
Actually if you dont have the right or updated codec, it wont always tell you that you dont have it. I have wathced some videos like my rips with out the proper updated dodec and it doesnt look any good. I got the codec again and now its back to normal. Anyways tryout my other rips, Im sure you wont be dissappointed. Will you get any of the other rips?

Posted by: DrEVOIII Aug 22 2004, 02:56 PM
Hey stfu you shmuck. If you dont like it, then deal with it. If you hate subs so bad go get people who have Tokyocrap DVDs and tell them to rip it for you.

How about at least a "Thanks" for doing this for you people in the first place. Then state your comments. As from my view of this, all youre doing is complaining and is taking everything here for granted.

Prick...

As for the 'scanline' problems. Yes, those are interlaced video. I am not sure which program Takumi Trueno used for ripping the DVD, but I doubt that program deinterlace all the frames. On the other hand, Godian Knot does deinterlace all the frames so you won't see those 'scanlines'. You can check out my Best Motoring Vol.6 for an example.

Posted by: DrEVOIII Aug 23 2004, 01:35 AM
Wow, there are a lot of downloaders for this...

To all you leechers: My seed is up for your conveniency. happy.gif

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 23 2004, 09:26 AM
Thats the word that i didn't remember interlaced. If it is a tv rip is ok to have this, bot just because you rip from a dvd disc does not mean that it is a dvd rip quality. I can burn on a dvd disc one video encoded with div-x about 75kbps and than rip and get a 500MB file and say that it is a dvd rip quality. I didn't tell that i was not understanding the subs, i can get the with no problem is just the visual of them that i hate. Even so you could encode the video with a div-x or xvid codec. That would be better, i mean the size of the video.

I am downloading the Best Motoring but it's stuck in 28% even with 1 seed. If you rip with virtual dub this does not happen ith the video unless you whant.

On the other hand, you keep thinking that this is a codec problem, you just say that we need MPEG 4 codec but there are a lot of them, a lot of packs with the MPEG 4 codec just like Div-X that has a lot of versions. Post a link with the one that you use but i'm shure that would not make the diference for me.

Hey, didnt you read what I posted earlier? mad.gif dry.gif

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 23 2004, 05:55 PM
Yes i read it but how can a person do a better job without knowing what he can do? If he wanna do the best job pro the initial d fans, he could try and put better sub on the video. He could deinterlace the video so people who don't know about this don't stay with a image like that. I didn't remember the name of this so i couldn't get it better, now i made some thinks of the video and it is a lot better. All that i'm saying is that this rip could be better much better. If almost everyone deslike the subs you should do something.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 23 2004, 06:00 PM
Please stop complaining.

Posted by: Smiley_DC2 Aug 23 2004, 06:04 PM
Yes complaining is very unneccessary. Takumi Trueno among others (Perry, DrEVOIII, tomthebomb, etc) have gone out of their way to provide these services here at IDW. Constructive criticism is welcome but there is a fine line between complaining and offering advice.

Just pointing out that the efforts here (music, torrents, etc) do not go unappreciated and more displays of thanks rather than complaining about the most insignificant details (that make limited or no difference whatsoever) wouldnt be asking for too much

Posted by: rageguy Aug 23 2004, 06:47 PM
dont complain
why dont u try and provide us with a nice rip of any initial d stuff? or better yet, sub the new episode 5 and 6?
then u might realize that it is hard.

YES! omg, thank you!!!

There is a VERY fine line between complaining and advices.

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 24 2004, 11:05 AM
Hard it's to make a sub just listening. Why would I make the subs for something that will be out in a week? Someone said that this rips are for the most dedicated fans of initial d because of the quality. Well all that i'm saying is that this could be a lot better. My complains are my way of advices. If i don't like this or that and why is the advice, you just need to work on them. I could make new subs for this video but since is exelent this video for you why should I make them?

Posted by: DrEVOIII Aug 24 2004, 11:46 AM
Youre not getting the point here... dry.gif

Posted by: Heero Maxwell Aug 24 2004, 12:01 PM
Now i'm not getting. I never said how hard or easy is to sub a video. All that i'm saying since my first post is that the quality is not good for the size of the video. The subs are bad and it's not a dvd rip quality like they say. This is what i'm saying here.

You know hat never mind anymore.

Hey, I'm requesting that everyone on IDW's Official Seeders to help seed this torrent.

Thanks for your co-op.

hmm, i dont know if its just me, but iv been trying to dl this file for the last 2 days now, and im only @ 8%. Is it just there arent enough seeders (if so, takumi trueno can u help me out and seed wink2.gif) or is this just a really big file?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Aug 31 2004, 03:42 PM
BAH, people need to look at other topics. you may think you know how to use Bit Torrent Correctly but not everyone does. Please look at the guide I made here. people complain about slow speeds but that is only because of this. Read the WHOLE THING. Not just parts of it. Here>https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=7402 This is the most active torrent of all of them.There are many many people d/l and seeding for this torrent, there is no reason why you should be going slow unless you changed some settings or you havent opened up any ports. After you have read the whole guide and are still confused then PM or IM me.

My audio doesn't match up with the video...it will for like a second, then it starts being 5-10 seconds off from the video (early). I'll hear tires screeching, and then 10 seconds later I'll see cars moving.

Anyone know why?

Can you list your computer specs ? Include video card too. I think it's because your computer is not fast enough.

Mmm ... maybe you don't have the appropriate codec. Personally I recommend Gordian Knot codec pack, but it contains adware. So if you do get that codec pack, make sure you also get Ad-Aware 6.0 to get rid of any adwares in your system after the install. You can also try K-lite codec pack.

Posted by: Sikarian Sep 1 2004, 01:05 PM

Yes, I agree, because that have never happened to me before when I watch rips from IDW. That was the case with my old laptop, it juss wasnt fast enough. And plus, it might be a codec problem.

Posted by: blazin_drift Sep 1 2004, 02:50 PM
Well, as long as you've somehow verified your file isn't corrupt using crc32, (maybe we should include that in future torrents?) it's most likely a codec problem.

Hmm, I can't really explain what crc32 is perfectly, basically its a unique code of numbers that can be generated from a file. If you download anime, you'll see the bunch of numbers in [square brackets]. Once you download the file or burn it to a disc or what ever, download a crc32 calculator(google it, I'm sure theres quite a few) and match it up with the number in the name.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 1 2004, 03:21 PM
actually it may have to due with his computer and not the codec. A codec could be a problem, but when you dont have the correct codec. All that happens is the picture quality not being at what it is supposed to be. A 512MB RAM, Im not sure if thats enough. I mean my videos are pretty much dvd quality including the sound. Anyways for now you can just work with different codecs. You already got the K-lite codec pack, so if that doesnt work then nothing will.

Posted by: Sikarian Sep 1 2004, 04:12 PM

Well, I didnt think it was the 512mb of ram because...I have 512mb of PC133(ope, not even ddr...sad eh?) and movies of any size so far(haven't tried 1080i movies yet, doubt that'll play well).


Posted by: rcjc Sep 2 2004, 01:15 PM
first off I have to say thx for the file...seems like an interesting intro to the 4th stage

just wanted to say that it is possible to get rid of the interlacing you see all over the video (the black lines you see everywhere when you see movement) if you use a deinterlacing filter while encoding. Also, it is usually possible to save a lot of space if you can ivtc (inverse telecine), a process where you return the video to the original frame rate it was filmed/animated at since most likely the original film was 24 frames per second or less so 30 fps is really wasting a lot of space (6 out of 30 are duplicates). I guess for this video file though you probably can't ivtc it easily because the parts where there's live video probably was originally 30fps but ivtc would help other files like the initial d extra stage.

here's a guide for divx encoding if you wanna check it out http://www.doom9.org/gknot-main3.htm

thx again for the file...I'll be seeding for a while

what should I do

Because the file attached to his first post was perfectly fine.

This will be my way to say sorry. 512MB of ram is enough even if is dimm. I use to play videos with dvd quality better than the 4th stage raws, and ac3 audio and they were ok. If you don't have the codec, the sound can start before or after the video. All you need to do if you have the codecs and everithing is to get Virtualdub and change the starting time of the sound.

I've downloaded but the only things that was important at least for me was all the video that wasn't about the first, second, third and extra. The part of the sound, how they take it this is worth to watch but the rest is just like the battle stage but the main point is the story not the battles.

Instead of using Bit Torrent, I think we should use Bit Tornado because it downloads fast and if people seed, it may go faster

Posted by: anfrey Dec 31 2004, 08:03 PM
bittornado is just a client like any other... the whole technology is still called bittorrent

Posted by: anfrey Jan 9 2005, 12:29 PM

I have just finished downloading, i will be seeding till the end of this week when my pc will be on wink2.gif

Posted by: anfrey Jan 11 2005, 06:45 AM
mine finished sometime yesterday. i'll be seeding this for a while too....

currently seen: 2 seeds, 14 peers. i'll wait until we get down to at most 2 peers before i stop seeding this.

Posted by: Nomake Wan Feb 6 2005, 12:24 AM
When I started this torrent there was a seed and all was good at 100kb/sec and unlimited upload (I've got cable)... but then the seeder got offline...

So could someone seed this? And I know that Deep Calm is listed as inactive, but I also know that there are quite a few people online hoping for a stray seeder to get online as well.

Domo.

Okay, warning to everyone here just in case the previous posts didn't do the job: THESE SUBTITLES SUCK.

Okay? So if you don't like bad subtitles, don't waste 2GB of hard drive space and a lot of downloading time.

I wish this was fan-subbed... I'd show it to my Anime Club as their introduction to Fourth Stage. Ah well, I'll just go with my Battle Stage plan...

...and proceeded to delete it. 2GB is a lot for one AVI... it had better have good subtitles to take up that much room on my HD.

Posted by: anfrey Feb 10 2005, 09:00 PM
agreed.. horribly subbed and not very interesting imho, especially for those of us who have watched all the previous stages... it's just a recap... i liked nomake's idea of using it as an intro to people before they watch fourth stage.... but i find it is better to simply show them the anime from 1st stage on.

Posted by: Nomake Wan Feb 11 2005, 07:17 AM
Unfortunately, my club has limited time remaining this year, so we can only show Fourth Stage. But yeah.

Second Stage is coming out on DVD, and I've seen Third Stage in an official trailer, so I'm sure that it's coming out as well. I just hope that they release all of the remaining Initial D content after that (read: Prelude to Fourth Stage). (Seeing Third Stage in theaters would be neat, except for the damned name changes).

Posted by: temptashuns Sep 1 2005, 05:30 PM
I know I'm a little late on this, but are there any more people who would like to seed this for me =) Thanks much appreciated.

Sypnosis: This Project D Fourth Stage Special dvd features racing scenes made entirely with computer graphics, however more advanced cell-shading is to be used to make the CG scenes a bit less conspicuous beside the traditional animation. The plot of the previous 3 stages are fetured as well as the creative staff of the whole Initial D production staff. Much behind the scenes look will be featured and all this is hosted by none other than the Drift King Mr. Keichi Tsuchiya. ^Credit to Jackadeal.com


Alright immas confuse as to what this prelude to project thing contains. Is it just basically a recap of the 1st three stages or what? Also is it worth d/ling if you've already watched all the Initial D stages? My bad for all these questions, but you know 2 gigs is alot of space and time to spend downloading.

Posted by: dmhc69 May 15 2006, 11:01 PM
its a prelude to fourth stage. so a lot of behind the scenes crap about the actors, the sounds, the music, the animation, etc.etc.etc.

Posted by: bROCKoLEE May 15 2006, 11:52 PM
hmmm... so i guess it wouldn't matter much anyway ayes? Since i'll prolly get crap out of it judging from what i heard about the subs in here...
Anywayz thanks for that dmhc69 happy.gif

if you've already watched all of fourth stage (which you probably have), theres little point getting it now. this came out before fourth stage even started as a "sneak preview" so its not such a "preview" seeing the whole stage has ended lol.

No.

This is a review of First-Third stage's storyline (NOT like Battle Stage; this focuses more on the story than the races) and a preview of Fourth Stage. As the title says: Prelude to Project.D.

I'd like to request seeds for this torrent. I've looked elsewhere and I can't find it so it would be very appreciated. I'll volunteer to upload for a while afterwards to help anyone else out that wants it.

Posted by: jy1235689 Jul 8 2011, 11:24 AM
I see that a few people still want this, including myself. So, if anyone who has the full rip still (thats... 6 years past XD) we would appreciate your uploading of it. I can seed on and off (my computer is a laptop, so that's inevitable. I don't keep it running all day.) for about a month or two wink2.gif

I can't believe I'm requesting seeds on a 6-7 year old torrent facepalm.gif

Posted by: WhiteTiger08 Sep 2 2011, 02:34 AM
I really want this, I had it back then but my HD got too hot with bunta's driving and exploded...I got all the stages but i'm lacking this prelude...so, if someone very generous shares it I will be seeding 24/7

Try messaging Takumi Trueno. I used to have a copy of it but lost it when my hard drive died. >_<

Posted by: RickkyyP Apr 17 2013, 03:55 AM
Used to have a copy of this but had to delete it free up space. (Only had an 50 gb hard drive back then)
Would love if someone else would seed it!

I finally managed to get the file from one polish pay per download server. It is a hardsubbed video. I don't know, who made those subtitles, but there are many mistakes and nonsenses in them.
I wanted this video for my project Initial D česky (I'm translating Initial D to the czech language), but when I saw what it contains, I can say, that it doesn't worth any effort. 85% of the 1.5h video is repetition of racing scenes from first to third stage. Only the last 12 minutes worth watching. In this last part there is a making of document and interview with creators.

Here is the link to download: http://www.ulozto.net/xy9vjJSA/prelude-to-project-d-avi

Enjoy.

Posted by: Gurenn Jun 28 2013, 05:13 AM
Wow thanks!

EDIT: I'm getting this error:

"This link to the file is invalid. If you wish to download the file, please, click the Download button again."

EDIT2: Never mind, it does work when you log out.

Posted by: PacoChan Jul 3 2013, 07:32 AM
Thank you very much, I've been waiting for this. Now I only need that Third Stage Special Disk and I'll be happy.

BTW, it seems it's exactly the same video as the one of the torrent, so I'm seeding for those who were downloading the torrent.

Posted by: Trinom Jul 3 2013, 10:17 AM
what's on that special disc?

Posted by: PacoChan Jul 4 2013, 02:45 AM
Yo can see more info here: https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=6671

It's some kind of making of that some of us are very interested in, but no one seems to have it anymore.

Posted by: Pato24 Jul 6 2013, 04:26 PM
I've just finished downloading it and watching it. Definitely not worth it. Just a recap of what happened in Stages 1 through 3, and really quick interviews with the Producers, CG Designers, etc. about what to expect in the Fourth Stage.

That sounds interesting. Unfortunatelly, Takumi Trueno usually doesn't answer PMs sad.gif

Maybe if more people ask him to share it...

Hey everyone! I'm currently seeding this special episode so if anyone would like a copy, now's the chance! I'm well aware of people complaining about the hard subs quality but hey! I'm sure the demand is still out there for this precious and very rare gem.

If you'd like it, lemme know! It's been 12 years since this post was created haha!

Unfortunately, it's not from the attached torrent file from the pinned post. But rather, from this link:


Initial D - Project D to the Next Stage.torrent
http://www.nyaa.se/?page=download&tid=493209

So go to this link here for the file!
