Content

Joint episodes

Examples
Joint episodes 26-27 Joint episodes 122-123

Missing content

There are several files without Intro/Opening, Outro/Ending or Preview. Some people cut them out to save space so they can fit more episodes on one CD.
But since Intros/Outros are part of the anime/episode we are adding comments about them missing or being incomplete to the file.
Furthermore sometimes scenes get cut out. Missing footage should get reported as well if possible. In such cases set the file to censored as well.

Examples
Intro missing Outro missing Preview missing Intro/Outro/Preview missing Intro incomplete Outro incomplete Preview incomplete x minute[s] of footage missing (<timecode>)*)

*) Set "censored" too

Opening & Endings

Specification of the content of the op/ed.

Note:

Meant only for Specials (C)!

Examples
Clean version Credits: <Language> Lyrics: Kanji Lyrics: Kana Lyrics: Romaji Lyrics: English Additional dubs: Instrumental

Special versions

Special versions are "Director's Cuts", "Remastered Versions" and such.
If such a special version has a different name, e.g. the "2003 Renewal Edition" of NGE: EoE, use that name for the comment.

Examples
Director´s Cut Remastered Version

Trailer

Specification of where the trailer was taken from.

Examples
Trailer from official site Trailer from Special Edition micro-DVD AnimeINC Anniversary

Errors

For files that contain visible errors or are incomplete (truncated).
out of the ordinary FPS should get reported as well (anything besides: 24,25/29)

Examples

Features

Audio

As the current system doesn't support the input of more than 1 audiostream and audiochannels at all please enter the data the way described below.

If the file contains 2 or more audiostreams and not all have the same number of channel add the language as well.
To identify the different audiostreams use a 3 character countrycode.
For codec just use the shortnames. (AAC, Ogg, Mp3, ...)
If you want to enter channels, bitrate and codec set a ; between the data and put bitrate first, followed by codec and channels last.

Audio (<language>): <bitrate> kBit/s; <codec>; <channel> channel

Note:

DON'T list stereo (2 channel) as thats standard it's not neccessary to add.

In case there is more than 1 audiostream of the same language number the tracks witht he same language. (jap2), (eng3) ...

Examples
Audio: 1 channel Audio: 5.1 channel Audio (eng): 1 channel Audio (jap): 5.1 channel Audio (eng): 112 kBit/s Audio (jap): 100 kBit/s Audio (eng): Ogg Audio (eng): 112 kBit/s; Ogg Audio (jap): 100 kBit/s; Mp3 Audio (eng): 112 kBit/s; Ogg; 1 channel Audio (jap): 100 kBit/s; Mp3; 5.1 channel Audio (jap2): Mp3

Languages

Audio/Subtitles

Currently its not possible to add different audio/subtitle combinations to a file than the default ones. So if there is a file with e.g. Japanese, English and Spanish audio only Japanese and English can be added as audio track.
If there is a file with more audio/subtitle tracks you can post a comment about it in the description field.

Commentary streams are to be marked like this: English (commentary) or Japanese (commentary)
purely Instrumental streams are to be marked Instrumental

Examples
Additional dubs: English, German, Instrumental, Italian, Japanese (commentary) Additional subs: Dutch, German, English (commentary), Russian, Spanish

External subtitles

For some raw videos external subtitle files (.ssa/.srt/.sub&.idx) are available. To make sure people get the right subtitle files for their raw video a comment is added to the subtitle files.

Examples
External subtitles for fid xxxx *) External subtitles for fid xxxx, yyyy, zzzz

*) xxxx represents the fileid (fid) of the video the subtitle file was made for
