We’re going to re-encode the series to fix a coloring issue, which gives the series a purple tint. You can see what this purple coloring issue is by checking comparisons of our release and Elysium’s. This is a bug in 10bit x264, which has been fixed in some unstable development versions, and is currently being worked into the official version. We’re waiting to re-encode until the fix makes it into official x264.
Feb 7th update
We’ve started re-encoding. It’ll be about a week and a half until we release.
Feb 16th update
When we say “A week and a half” it means “Probably 2-3 weeks.” We’re doing a little bit more stuff. To lighten you up after news of this little delay, know that we’ve gotten decently PSP savvy and things are looking promising in that area. But, we won’t know for sure until we have a Madoka ISO in our hands, of course. One more month until that one happens. Anyways, thank you for understanding & sorry for the wait. If you absolutely must watch Madoka right now, you can always just get our current release. Apart from the purple tint and some TS-related stuff, nothing will really change.Hi10P batch includes full series (+ audio commentary), drama CDs, notes, and various extras. Everything is TL’d by us unless otherwise noted in the batch’s readme file.
Audio/subtitle tracks are:
Audio Track 1: Main Dialogue, 2.0 FLAC 24bit
Audio Track 2: Audio Commentary, AAC
Subtitle Track 1: Main Dialogue, character-based color styles.
Subtitle Track 2: Audio Commentary translation.
Subtitle Track 3: Main Dialogue, colorless style.Drama CDs are AAC audio, 8bit video (still images). Sunny Day Life is sort of special, a hardsubbed manga video originally created by nico user Darksideさん.

We’re working on extensive translator’s notes now. These are website only in-depth notes that weren’t included in the batch, but they are far from done atm.
There is a v2 for ep5 and ep9. New torrent is up, so if you got that, you shouldn’t care. Otherwise, the patch file is here. Instructions here.
Like every other fansub group, we no longer have DDLs available because all the services we used died. We know that screenshots are 404’ing, it’s because we’re waiting on our re-encodes to take anymore screens.

Thank you. Are you going to release BDs in 720p too or it’s out of question?
We are not doing 720p BDs for Madoka. However, we are prepping a batch release of the episodes that aired on television, which are 1280x720.

The first episode script looks pretty good. However, shouldn’t the teacher’s line “Should a fried egg be overcooked or over easy!?” say “cooked over hard” instead of “overcooked”? Especially since she says “Either is acceptable!” right afterwards, and “overcooked” implies being cooked badly.
I think the terminology here could be somewhat loose in English. However, your suggestion is more literal and clear. We'll edit it for the batch patch, thanks.

I need some help,I can’t play the video.It just displays the text: “unable to render file”.It doesn’t make sense,because I use CCCP with CoreAVC and it plays Doki’s version of Madoka in 1080 perfectly.Do I need something else to play Tri4’s?
No, you don't need anything more than that to play our releases. We tested this release on a fresh, default CCCP+coreavc setup, and it works. The first thing to do is verify your download by checking the CRC. If the file is correct, then after looking through the rest of that wiki article, you should probably head over to the CCCP forums for proper support. Resetting CCCP to default settings might work, or maybe just reinstall it. Good luck!

Oh, I wasn’t talking about the drama CD. Bluray 3 has both the drama CD “Sunny Day Life” and also for some people, a bonus CD called “Magical Girls Tea Party.” www.mediafire.com/?4srblba9r2qk7r6
I was wondering if you planned to do the bonus CD too and not only the drama CDs. The bonus CD has seiyuu chat.
Ah, sorry if our response was not clear enough. Yes, we plan to do the seiyuu chat 'Mahou Shoujo-tachi no Ochakai' which came on BD volume 3 in addition to the drama CDs.

sry for asking
i’ve finished downloading the 1st BD

The commentary is in the file you downloaded. Switch audio & subtitle tracks to "track 2." I don't know what media player you're using, but under many common MPC setups, you can go to "Navigation" from the top toolbar to switch tracks. Otherwise google it, or leave another comment asking.

Honestly, with the policy of Namdai’s western releases we’ll be lucky if ANY localization company gets it. After these guys left friggin’ THREE Tales installments on DS exportless, I have little hope in them.
Best of luck with the fan translation, chances are you’ll be our only hope here, too.

Any idea if anyone is working on translating the novel?
No, we aren't sure if anyone else is working on it right now. But, after the anime is behind us (for those who are curious on progress, at this rate, we're going to release a lot of episodes in the next month) we plan to do the novel to fill in the gap before the PSP game. No real promises on time frame from us, but it'll get done someday at least.

Hi. Question for tri4. In episode 2F09, when Madoka plays Sayaka’s skeleton like a xylophone, she strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet she produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a… magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
I'll field that one.

Quick question, is there a link I can have to tell me how to use the ASS. files with my blu-rays on my computer. (I use powerdvd9)
1) Stop using PowerDVD 2) Follow http://coalgirls.wakku.to/?page_id=4611. If you really insist on using PowerDVD (lol) then just make sure the ass files are in the same directory as your video, and the ass/encode share the same filename. No dude seriously, stop using PowerDVD.

You guys are the greatest! Will you be releasing DDLs for any episodes besides the first?
Yeah, sometime.
permlink Aug 25, 07:09 AM
alphamone says:
I looked at the site, but it seems to be talking about using rips rather than using the subtitles with the actual, physical discs.
According to this you can't load external subs from a "CD or DVD", but this is for PowerDVD6. This also only mentions "same directory." MPC should still be able to do it with a bit of extra hassle.
None of us have tried what you're doing, so we can't really do anything except google for you. Whatever you use, you're probably gonna have to decrypt the BD first anyways. After you decrypt the files, load them up with MPC, and go to File -> Load Subtitle.
Regardless, our encodes are pretty low CRF value and we don't use any video filters (keeping them as close to source as possible), so if you're having trouble, the rips should work, provided you can download them. Good luck.

Hey, when the next update gonna be?
So anxious to listen to them commentary tracks!
Tonight or tomorrow. We spent an extra long time on episode 4's commentary track, because it's Urobuchi Gen, and they talk about interesting topics.
Update: We've still got a few eps on the horizon. "Tonight or tomorrow" obviously ended up being wishful thinking, but it won't be too much longer now.

This is the best release out there. Good subs, good quality, and translated audio commentary. Better than Coalgirls who use crappy gg/yesy/Chihiro subs (yesy was okay but Chihiro… omfg they need a translator who can actually hear what the characters are saying). Also better than Zaockle-Tormaid which uses nutbladder subs (which I thought were the best compared to the other 3 alternatives) but they don’t have audio commentary. Thanks for doing this tri4 really appreciate it.

Just watched ep3 with commentary. Nice! Played fine, but noticed something strange. When this file is loaded on MPC-HC and I open up the options menu, all the menu text is scrambled. Anyone else seen this? CRC matches. Also while DXVA works for most other mkvs I have, it doesn’t work on this one, is that normal?
Thanks! I haven’t dled any other eps from tri4 yet.
We don't know what to tell you. Can't replicate the MPC menu error either on our PCs or inside of test VMs, and DXVA is fine here.
UPDATE: Apparently, this might have something to do with 64bit MPC-HC. A few of us experience a similar "messed up menus" issue with x64, but for some of us, it's fine. So still pretty much "dunno lol," but either way, screw 64bit MPC-HC hard, so on the off-chance that you are using it, stop. If you aren't using it, "dunno lol."

All of Madoka BD files I have downloaded so far have little audio skips in the opening and endings. Is it just me? or do others have the same issue? At first I thought it was just a bad DLL but all of the episodes have the same problem, (though some are worse than others). Does anyone know what causes it.
Maybe you'll get lucky and someone else with a solution will post here, but we can't replicate this. The OP/ED are somewhat intensive for this series (especially the OP's rain+running scene), but with decent hardware and properly setup playback, they'll play smoothly. You could try turning off subtitle animations, we use the \fad command in the OP & ED, and apparently that causes certain MPC setups to lag out.

Pretty awesome :3. Comments <3. Do you plan to finish this “soon” or “whenever it’s finished”? Lol, I mean, weeks time or months time? :P Wanted to watch this and idk if DL some other 1080p encode and watch that or not waste bandwidth and wait a bit more for this ＾_＾
We're aiming for batch in mid October. That doesn't mean we have a rigorous fansub action-plan with everything scheduled to fall into place, so don't take it that way. It's just a personal goal, we can't give anything more than that. Well, things are moving along well, though.

Really glad to see someone subbing the commentary.
Is it possible for you to release the commentary audio + subtitle track separately? I already have the 720p BDRips from another source, and my computer can’t really run 1080p files, so I don’t want to download 1GB files just to listen to the commentary.
If you’re willing to do so, you don’t have to put up a torrent; just a DDL on MediaFire or MegaUpload will do.

Love these, love you. Thank you! Hope you’ll be able to keep the mid-Oct. “deadline” as now I’m itching to rewatch these, but alas.. the first ep gave me plenty of reason to wait for your subs.
I’m also so happy that, so far, they work perfectly fine on Doki’s 720p (bar episode 4, but thankfully shifting times is the easiest thing one can do if it’s the same amount for every line lol), ‘cause unfortunately 1080p lags a bit on my laptop.

Hate to break it to you but the "special" you're referring to isn't special episodes, just a nico live special marathon broadcast. They've done it once before, aimed towards Taiwanese viewers. This time it was just a general broadcast. Admittedly, when we first saw the title of that nico live page, we flipped out for a split second too, lol.

Hope you don’t mind if I ask… what area are the rest episodes hung up on? Commentaries TL? ( I guess those are a bitch to TL… :P). Faito :3
Commentary TL does take awhile, mostly just to make out what people are saying. The last two episodes have five commentators per track, so they're harder over-all. Then there's making sure commentary is actually accurate - we spend a lot of time re-checking stuff since no transcriptions or anything exist. But the final tracks are coming along pretty well at the moment. Earlier episodes (7-10) are held up on typesetting. One of the staff members (the translator) can begin putting in long days again though, so stuff, including TS, will get done in the next few weeks.

regarding the novel releases: epub is a great format, especially for mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc). if i’m not mistaken it’s basically html in a zip file with some metadata with the book info (author, chapter markers, etc)
perhaps not as practical for individual chapter releases but for entire books it’s great
Yeah, we read up on a few things and it sounds like epub is a pretty nice format. Might be the way to go for volume releases, maybe epub+pdf, but doing it all correctly is a bit time consuming, no big deal though. Chapter releases are gonna be relatively slapped-together-ish txt or html, but we'll spend a lot of time getting the volume releases right in proper formats.

I downloaded Aegisub and played around with the script file, and it seems that Mplayer2 interprets the \fs0 tag literally as zero font size, but changing that to \fs (or \fs80, the normal fontsize of the style) fixed the issue.
The \r tag should have worked, but the quote brackets became really small so just removed the zero. This also came up in Magia, though when I fixed it, the parenthesized text in both Japanese and English overlapped the main part of the line so they needed positioning correction. In Magia, the \r tag worked better since the parenthesized English text was for some reason really dark.
The \fs issue happens quite often, including in commentary (the first two lines of episode 6’s commentary are particularly bad offenders), though not universally; it’s done correctly some places.
Basically, removing the 0 from all instances of \fs0 fixes a lot, though not the placement issues I encountered in Magia. If these changes work on other players too, please consider adding them in, though I don’t know what you could do about the placement differences between whatever you’re using to check and Mplayer2 (unless you right-align the parenthesized stuff, perhaps).
Ah, so mplayer is like that. This behavior was only implemented in pretty new versions of Aegisub - in older versions, "\fs0" would simply reset font size to a style's default (in fact I think the "0" was added onto closing fs tags by default, but I can't remember exactly). Anyways, upon noticing it behaving differently now, we've fixed all the scripts accordingly. These fixed scripts will be released in both our 10bit and 8bit batches. Note that the recently released episode 8-9 commentary temp scripts don't have this problem (all \fs is closed with just \fs). Also, this issue doesn't happen on MPC. Thanks a bunch for your comments and investigation.

A few more errors: ep9 commentary typo: ‘explaination’ at 7:38.
ep9 typesetting problems at 12:25 and 13:06 (at least in mplayer2, on the 480p temp raws); the small text doesn’t line up well for me

More comments: The background at 4:47 in episode 4 (normal track) doesn’t typeset cleanly on my system (same as before, mplayer2 on linux). It avoids Saotome-sensei pretty much perfectly, but the outside edges are cut off awkwardly and inconsistently (they wiggle around a bunch). I don’t know whether or not they are intentionally cut off, but I don’t think the wiggly edges should be there. What is supposed to happen?
(also: holy shit whoever typeset that is a god I shouldn’t really be complaining i mean really that script is double the size of most of the other ones)
We talked with CarVac and most these issues were sorted out, it was not our scripts, he was using an outdated libass; if you have similar issues, try updating.

I already had the first 6 episodes – have any of those been v2d in either regular or commentary subs? Apart, of course, from the v2s released prior to the batch.
Yes. A lot has changed in both the regular subs and commentary since our 8bit releases. Our batch is full of 10bit encodes which are better quality (with a smaller filesize bonus) than the 8bits, too. It'd be best just to re-download them.

God donut, looks like I can’t post a comment on nyaatorrents for some reason.
After seeking though a few files I’ve downloaded so far, I noticed that there’s a problem with special characters in the font used: bit.ly/yA1fAL
Also, you kept the video interlaced: bit.ly/yMueCj
I don’t know if the same applies to actual episodes, but from the time you spent polishing this release I assume you wanted to make it perfect.
The typesetting in those is flawless, but I’m pretty sure the color-coded dialogues will annoy the hell out of me and I’ll have to change the default track to non-color-coded one.
The CMs are the best source we could find. Yes, one of them is interlaced. Of course they are completely different from the episodes themselves. They are not perfect. They are an extra we added for fun, that's all. Don't take them too seriously. Also, this.

Plus, there are improvements.
We're making a TV batch for posterity. A lot was changed/improved in the BDs, which is exactly what makes having the original TV version around interesting. And there a few changes that most fans consider a step backward, though everyone naturally agrees BDs are much better overall.
Madoka is a classic, so it's worth keeping the two vastly different versions around. That's what we think.

For one of the CMs, the subs, audio and video are kind of screwed up (BD CM 2), where at the start it plays perfectly fine, then the subs delay and aren’t in sync with the video, followed by a stall at the end of the video where the duration extends beyond it’s defined time, and the video superspeeds.
We cannot reproduce this. The typesetting on those CMs can be intensive, maybe you're lagging?

I can’t tell the difference from the three…maybe I’m colorblind to that purple tint?
It's fairly slight, and really only noticeable on grays... but it is very noticeable there. Check the second screenshot in that forum post. Elysium vs us. To be honest we didn't even notice that this was an issue at first, but it is, and it is sorta major, so we'll re-encode. Apparently the new x264 build will have slightly better banding too. So that's cool.

What are the scripts all about? Are they for applying to a raw? How exactly do you apply them?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
The scripts are offered for people who want the scripts, lol. You can probably apply them to video sources released by other groups (raw or otherwise), but we haven't tried any, and it's likely that they'll be a few frames off, so you'd have to adjust them yourself in aegisub.
Also, our scripts have the entire series' original dialogue in Japanese commented into them, which is also useful to some people.
The .ass files currently uploaded do have a couple very minor changes to some typesetting-related stuff, but when we re-encode the series to fix the purple coloring issue, we'll also mux in these slightly tweaked scripts, so yeah.
