| | |
| | Since files in AniDB are tied with an actual episode, the place where you add files is at the far right of each episodeentry. Click the "add file" icon that looks like this: [[Image:Anidb file add.gif]], and it will take you to a new page where you can fill in the information about the file you want to add. For video files, the most important fields are: '''ED2K-link''', '''CRC'''/'''CRC Status''', '''Release group''' and '''Audio''' and '''Subtitle languages'''. |
| | |
| | Now, there are a few different kinds of files that can be added to the different episodes for anime, but all files have a few fields that apply to them: |

| =Video files=
| |
| This section expands on the special fields for video files that '''should''' be supplied.
| |
| {{eyecatch|Note:|On '''most''' video files, you will also need to fill in the audio and subtitle information as well!}}
| |
|
| |
| <p>
| |
| <div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
| |
| [[Content:Files#Length|Length]] | [[Content:Files#Censored|Censored]] | [[Content:Files#Quality|Quality]] | [[Content:Files#Source|Source]] | [[Content:Files#Resolution|Resolution]] | [[Content:Files#Aspect_Ratio|Aspect Ratio]] | [[Content:Files#Video_Codec|Video Codec]] | [[Content:Files#Video_Bitrate|Video Bitrate]] | [[Content:Files#FPS|FPS]] | [[Content:Files#Video_Flags|Video Flags]]
| |
| </div></p>
| |
|
| |
| ==Length==
| |
| Enter how many hours, minutes and seconds the file lasts. Just check in your favourite media player. If you have a file that won't display its length correctly, try to use [[avdump]] to determine the length.
| |
|
| |
| ==Censored==
| |
| This only applies to animes that have both an uncensored and a censored version. If it only has one, leave this setting as the default: Unknown.
| |
|
| |
| ==Quality==
| |
| This is a very arbitrary field. It depends completely on the eye of the beholder. Set this to what you think the file deserves.
| |
|
| |
| ==Source==
| |
| Here you can set the source of the raw (unsubbed) anime. If you don't know the source, leave it as "unknown". If you find a tag like "(S)VHS" or "DVD" in the filename, choose the according option from the dropdown-menu.
| |
| Sometimes, it's ok to make an educated guess: For animes that are released fansubbed shortly (within days/weeks) after they aired in Japan, you can safely assume "DTV" (Digital TV) as source. Another case for educated guessing is "HKDVD" (Hongkong-DVD) - the video-quality may be ok for them, but the translation is usually horrible, which is how you can spot them.
| |
|
| |
| ==Resolution==
| |
| In this field you set which resolution the file has in pixels. Width x Height.
| |
| Or just use [[avdump]].
| |
| ==Aspect Ratio==
| |
| Set the playback aspect ratio for the file.
| |
|
| |
| ===Video Codec===
| |
| ===Video Bitrate===
| |
| ===FPS===
| |
| ----
| |
| To find out what video codec, bitrate and fps is used for the file, we recommend that you use [[avdump]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Video Flags==
| |
| *Anamorphic: for an explanation of this, see [[Wikipedia:Anamorphic|here]].
| |
| *Clean video: set this flag if there is nothing hardsubbed in this file. RAWs are always clean.
| |
| *VFR: Variable Frame Rate. Use [[avdump]] for this.
| |
| *Wrong Aspect Ratio: If the file was encoded with the wrong viewing aspect ratio, check this box. One way to tell whether this is true is if what should be a circle on the screen isn't completely round, but rather elliptic.
| |
|
| |
| =Audio files=
| |
| This also applies to most video files, since they usually have atleast 1 audio track in them.
| |
|
| |
| <div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
| |
| [[Content:Files#Track_type|Track type]] | [[Content:Files#Audio_Language|Audio Language]] | [[Content:Files#Audio_Codec|Audio Codec]] | [[Content:Files#Audio_Bitrate|Audio Bitrate]] | [[Content:Files#Channels|Channels]]
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
| ==Track type==
| |
| This field is for setting whether it is a normal audio track or:
| |
| *Commentary
| |
| *Fandub
| |
| *Alternative Voiceover
| |
| *Other, or
| |
| *Unknown
| |
|
| |
| ==Audio Language==
| |
| Please specify what language is used.
| |
|
| |
| ===Audio Codec===
| |
| ===Audio Bitrate===
| |
| ===Channels===
| |
| ----
| |
| Set which audio codec, bitrate and how many channels are used. We recommend using [[avdump]] for this.
| |
|
| |
| =Subtitle files=
| |
| All fansubs have subtitles, only RAWs are without them, so this section should also be filled out for most files.
| |
|
| |
| <div style="border: 1px dotted gray; text-align: center; background-color: #e2e2ff">
| |
| [[Content:Files#Subtitle_type|Subtitle type]] | [[Content:Files#Subtitle_Language|Subtitle Language]] | [[Content:Files#Subtitle_Flags|Subtitle Flags]]
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
| ==Subtitle type==
| |
| Here you should specify whether the subs are:
| |
| *Hard subs
| |
| *Soft subs
| |
| *Supplementary soft subs (i.e. sign translation)
| |
| *Other, or
| |
| *Unknown.
| |
|
| |
| ==Subtitle Language==
| |
| Select which language is used in the subs from the dropdown list.
| |
|
| |
| ==Subtitle Flags==
| |
| *Dubsubbed - if the subtitles seem to be an exact match of the english (or other language) audio tracks, and doesn't follow the actual lipmovements very well, it is probably dubsubbed.
| |
| *Hearing impaired subs
| |
| *Image subs (VOBSUB)
| |
| *Styled subs (ASS/SSA)
| |
| *Subs for commentary audiostream
| |
| *Unstyled subs (SRT)
| |
