Took 22 and half hours to download but I finally got it! After getting it, I'm gonna need to buy a new external hard drive pretty soon, but I've no regrets. Getting this series in subtitled form after all this time is worth all of the space it all takes up on my hard drive.karyuudo wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And once again, Karyuudo Fansubs proves itself to be the greatest fansubbing group for Japanese Transformers media ever.
Thanks Sabrblade! Comments like this mean a lot to our group! Especially after spending over a year working on this series, it's a wonderful feeling to know that folks out there appreciate the hard work we put into subbing these series
Hope everyone enjoys it! Can't wait to hear some more feedback!

You guys have done this fandom a great deal of service. The quality of all that Karyuudo Fansubs has provided goes above and beyond the call of duty. Multiple subtitle tracks, obscure bonus content, holy grails that barely anyone knew existed; it's things like all this that show how much these fansubbed releases are tailored to the fans with so much passion and devotion put into the effort of going the extra mile. On behalf of all those who appreciate what Karyuudo Fansubs has done for the Transformers fandom, we salute you. (we really need a "saluting" emoticon)
Don't ever stop being this awesome, KF. You've all set the bar really high for subtitled Transformers releases.

You need to download a BitTorrent client to download the torrent itself. I have μTorrent since it's small and efficient, taking up very little space on my hard drive. Once you have the client, you then need to download the torrent file, open it, and then let the client download the whole thing to your computer (this particular release takes up almost 18 GB, so make sure first that you have the necessary room for it on your computer's hard drive).Hellscream9999 wrote:So what do I need to watch this on my computer? not very torrent savvy, how do I unpack it or what

The speed of the torrent download all depends on how healthy the torrent itself is (since this one is new, it should be very healthy) and how many seeders it has (seeders are people who have already downloaded the torrent completely and still have the files on the same computer that they used to download them, the more seeders a torrent has, the healthier it is and the faster it downloads). For really big torrent files like this one, it might be best to let it download overnight, but you have to leave the computer on for the process to complete itself (I did this and it took 22 and half hours for it to download on my end, but I started when there were far fewer seeders due to the torrent being so new at the time, it should download faster by now).Hellscream9999 wrote:So what do I need to watch this on my computer? not very torrent savvy, how do I unpack it or what

Hey everyone,
We're back with another release which you won't find anywhere else. We're proud to present to you a DVD quality release of Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation.
For those of you who are not aware, when Beast Wars Metals was released in Japan, there was a theatrical special which used footage from the Beast Wars season 3 episode called Cutting Edge. This special was released on VHS, but not on DVD. Fortunately, Walruslaw managed to get his hands on it, and was kind enough to capture a copy of the VHS cassette for us to use.
While the audio of the release was free of any issues, the video quality was definitely not up to par. However, there was some luck that with the release of the Music Matrix DVD (courtesy of Rockman666) we were able to get the opening of the special in a DVD quality format. However, this didn't solve the issue of the rest of the episode. Thus, we began a project to splice the DVD video from the US releases, and transpose them over top of the VHS footage so that it would match 1:1 (of close to it anyway!)
One of the biggest issues however, was the ending credits, which required a complete reconstruction from scratch. Using both Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop, we managed to put together a version which is extremely comparable to a retail copy - if it were to ever exist. We also would like to thank Primal Sabbath for his assistance with identifying each of the clips shown during the ending sequence, as well as Micchan’s assistance with the Japanese credits, so that it was possible to re-create the ending credits in its entirety. And last but not least, we’d like to make a big thank you to our translator, Takae, who felt this release would not be complete without being subtitled in English for Western audiences.
What this release includes:
Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation (DVD Quality Version - MKV format)Beast Wars Metals: Convoy's Great Transformation (VHS Quality Version - MP4 format)
