17 OCT 2024 - Welcome Back to TorrentFunk! Get your pirate hat back out. Streaming is dying and torrents are the new trend. Account Registration works again and so do Torrent Uploads. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
Decided to whip you all a little treat for you guys, as I'm currently experimenting MKVToolNix.
I have ripped these instrumentals from the various North American Kirby DVDs in order to make these possible.
Video: MPEG2 Codec, 29.97i
Don't expect this to be perfect DVD quality, it's decently good. Now, there's a reason behind this; I unfortunately couldn't time the instrumentals properly with the intro, which meant the intro had to get edited in Vegas in order to perfectly sync in before final phase of getting remuxed. The intro used was from the second variant from later episodes.
Ripped with MakeMKV, converted to HandBrake with same codec, converted as MPEG2 in Vegas and converted as MKV with audio tracks in MKVToolNix.
As for audio, the original tracks were from DVD Menus and Credits. The one with the original saxophone came from Fright to the Finish DVD Credits.
The no saxophone version was also from this DVD as it played on the DVD menu, while it was mixed in and put together with the Kirby Comes to Cappy Town DVD Menu via Kirby Extras. I did my best to make these instrumentals pop. The bass and treble for these have been boosted slightly, with the instrumentals being also being reverbed. The original bitrate for all of these instrumentals was 192kbps AC3, but was later converted to AAC and later edited in Audacity.
Audio Tracks in order of MKV:
1. No Saxophone
2. Saxaphone (Original Instrumental Version)
3. Saxaphone (Version 2) (partially instrumental)
3 is partially Instrumental as there's no version without voices, so part of the voice, "OOOOOOOOOHHHHH" was kept in and mixed in with the original instrumental afterwards.
I did the best I can to precise these in Audacity and they all sound perfect and almost the exact same with the way the parts were combined. You however, will never notice the difference.
There will be more to come in the future. I have plans on getting HQ American Dubbed episodes from Kirby Right Back at Ya! DVDs. I happen to have nearly the entire collection, but I need 3 more DVDs to complete the set in order to convert the rest into MakeMKV files.
The 3 DVDs are:
A Dark and Stormy Knight (2002)
Kirby's Adventures in Cappy Town (2008)
Cappy New Year (2008)
Maybe what I'll do in the meantime is upload the complete series from KirbyStarRodHD. Despite this, most of the episodes are compressed and stretched into 16:9.
It's just honestly about time the 4KIDS Dub gets more attention in terms of today, as many of the episodes are becoming not viewable on YouTube and is becoming scarce. Until then, Sailor Moon deserves a break and for indefinitely. This year, I'm focusing more on creating higher quality VHS rips, as I want to improve the quality in those.
As this was experimental, please don't be critical with this torrent as I wanted to try something new. Thanks for understanding and please enjoy.
