This site is dedicated to subtitling the series "Digimon 02". If what you want are Digimon fansubs then you have come to the right place. Please e-mail me and tell me that you want me to subtitle Digimon 02, and which of these three sources you would like me to do it from:
Megchan's dubbed tapes
Official VHS release
Official DVD release
I am thinking that the price for a tape of subtitled Digimon will be $10 if I use the official VHS tapes. But I need to know how many people want this and what source I should use. The reason is because personally I would like to use Megchan's tapes for myself, but since I am not just doing this for myself, I would like your input. I don't think anyone wants them off the DVDs, that is just too expensive and it isn't really worth it. The official VHS tapes are $25, the DVDs are $50. Megchan's tapes are $8, but the tapes you get from her are copies of her copies of the original. Then when I subtitle them and put them back to tape, that is another copy. So that's 4th generation, I think. Also, you have to realize that the translations are, at the very least, $40 per episode. There are 4 episodes on a tape, so that is $160 on translation alone! I don't have that kind of money to spend, so that is why the tapes aren't just cost of tape + shipping.
*Update: Unless someone would be willing to give me the extra money it will cost for the DVDs, I will use the official VHS tapes.*
But maybe if some people help me out and sponsor some of the tapes, then I could reduce the price some.
Here are the various formats on which I will release the episodes:
VHS tape
CD encoded in DivX format
Video CD (VCD) ---> only if someone asks me to encode them this way
*Update: I think I will just release them all on VHS tape, and forget about the other two formats. One of the reasons is because I am afraid that people will copy the CDs and sell them on eBay, or something, which less people will do with the tape version due to generation loss. If people do that, I won't make back enough money and I'll run out of money and quit part way through the series. You don't want that, now do you? Another reason is because when I tested encoding subtitled video in DivX, the compression blocks were in the wrong spots and thus the subtitles became all garbled depending on what letter appears.*
Thanks for reading,
