@Home is currently looking for users who are interested in being an active part of a release group. We can use video encoders, fansubbers, or friendly users with some spare bandwidth. We are a group that goes for quality over quantity. Also when available we try to use R2J for source over R1 DVDs and use creditless Openings and Endings.
If you come to the IRC channel please at least stay until we can get back to you. Right now we only have 4 active members.We are looking for (in order of importance):
encoders - that have some experience with AVS Scripts and x264. Profiles and Scripts will be provided so your encodings match the groups. if you dont already understand the process we can get you up to speed so that you can produce encodings up to the quality of the group.
Subbers - people who know how to do typesetting, styling, timing, editing, and (possibly) karaoke. as a note we currently use Plain SRT.
RAW Providers - people who know how to use winny, share, and Perfect Dark and are willing to DL R2J DVDs and RAJ BDs that aren't available via torrent
XDCC Servers - people that can and are willing to host XDCC servers for the groups releases on our irc channel. these should be as user friendly as possible and preferably availble 24/7.
BakaBT - people who can properly offer up our encodes to BakaBT and get the accepted. then properly seed or find someone who will because BakaBT requires all releases to be seeded forever.
Dedicated Seeders - people who can seed our torrents preferably using seedboxes 24/7. we will accept part time seeds as well if you really want to help
Reviewers - people who are willing to write short concise reviews of anime. We would appreciate it reviewed before we release so that we can include the review in the release but the anime doesnt have to be anime we have done.
IRC - users who have a passion for anime and can act helpfully to visitors can expect moderator status with some time to make the channel look and function better.
People - just people that are involved with the group enough to answer questions on forums and on IRC and just keep things lively
Updates:
2010.02.18 - also as a note we have changed our standard for audio from AC-3 to AAC.
2010.03.09 - After talking to other encoder/fansubbers/developers we decided to switch to CRF. we plan to use crf 16 for SD we have not decided on a value for HD yet but it is loosely set at 18 for now.
2010.03.09 - Also for SD releases we plan to use VBR AAC at Q 0.45
2010.03.09 - recently our group has looked into ordered chapter and file segment linking capabilities of mkv files and has decided to use them. we will be using separate files for the opening and ending. also when available the opening and ending will be creditless.
