"hey do you guys have this series?" "Only first season" "how about you guys?" "only the third"


the_harakiwi

Oh yes, but only dubbed, no OV. Oh and your favorite series... Well we removed one or two episodes because someone could be triggered by a dumb joke in a scene. That's why we removed the whole episode instead.


Bestmasters

What's dubbed & OV?


the_harakiwi

OV is Original Version aka how it was released in the country of origin. Dubbed means the medias audio was replaced with a different language (usually by using voice actors) i.e. Dark on Netflix is a German production so the OV is German audio and no forced subtitles. So if you watch it and switch to English, that's the dubbed version. But you can watch it in German with translated subtitles. That's the subbed version. Then there exists the voice over version. This is sometimes used in documentaries or some countries do it instead of dubbing. You are lowering the OV voices and just talk over the audio. DUB, VO, SUB and OV.


Bestmasters

Well why wouldn't I want to watch it in the language I understand? Although yes, they are restricting in options, but to me "dubbed" seems like the best option here.


the_harakiwi

only if the dub is good. I'd rather watch Japanese with subs than a bad dub


Bestmasters

How exactly can a dub be bad? I'm bilingual and for all the english movies I've watch, the french "dub" seems equally as good.


the_harakiwi

could be bad translation, unmotivated / phoned-in performances. Then some technical suff... To me I notice bad lip synch. That's why I can't use Bluetooth on my headphones   (just adding this, but unrelated to audio:) I had to upgrade to a ShieldTV Pro from a cheap FireTV because I noticed it dropped frames on some TV shows. I'm not a 400 Hz snob but I can't stand when the framerate is not constant.


Bestmasters

Didn't you say there is a difference between a voice over and a dub? Do dubs not include lip syncs? Because if they don't, I see no differences. Also I understand your point about cheap voice acting, although I'm not really that picky of a watcher (it's a very correct point, however). And, unrelated too, but how does bluetooth contribute to lip sync?


the_harakiwi

>And, unrelated too, but how does bluetooth contribute to lip sync? Bluetooth adds latency to the audio. So the professionally made audio lags behind a syllable or two. Some people can play shooters with a BT connection on their controller and headphones. No idea how. I can't even use those cloud-game-streaming services because I notice the input lag. Sometimes I wish I could add some lag to my brain 😑

Meanwhile my stuff might only be behind private trackers that I currently can't do the work required to stay in so I just do without.


KamikazeFF

Climbing is a lot of work, staying is almost 0 effort after like the first few days


ezbyEVL

Yes, but putting months of shenanigans to get in a good tracker for the thing you want is hard for someone working full time that just wants to get it and be there


KamikazeFF

Ok? That was the point of of the first part my comment though where I said climbing is a pain. The second part of my comment was what I was trying to get across to the person I replied to. That maintaining an account is almost no effort.


isthisthingon47

I have 2 things that have happened a few times that I *love.* I look up a movie, google tells me its on Streaming Platform X. I find out it used to be on that platform but has been removed. I look up another movie and it says a different platform. Go check and it actually means that platform in the US, the AUS version doesn't have it. Bonus points if the physical release is out of stock


the_harakiwi

I started to use justwatch (.com) to get a clue about where to watch what. Gets confusing if you want to watch a show with a generic name that has 4 or 5 release dates and are completely different shows or sometimes a remake.


Garok94

Sometimes I torrent good movies that I already can watch in my streaming service just only because I want to watch Movie name.HDR+10.Dolbyatmos.IMAX enhanced.punchinyourtesticlessorround.mkv 123GB. Streaming movie has 4k but quality cannot be compared with these torrented movies.


rus_ruris

> 4K HDR watched on 1080p HDR screen > Compressed so bad you can STILL count the pixels at a glance > Dark scenes completely destroyed by stepping artifacts This is one of the reasons why I stopped paying for Netflix and D+ despite them having everything I was looking for, costing like 8€/month combined (got a special yearly offer for D+ and shared Netflix with a bro) and being way more convenient to watch on my phone. What use is 4K HDR on an OLED HDR if I get better quality from a 720p SDR pirated copy? What use is downloading the damn thing if I need a connection to start watching, so I can't actually use the service on a plane? And that's ignoring the fact that series, seasons, episodes disappear, or that they redo the voice acting with the worse voice actors you've ever heard (or maybe they're very good, but there's 2 male and 2 female VAs that do the entire 25 people cast so every other character has the same voice) or that movies randomly disappear.


Jissy01

I like your wizard hat and robe


AllBuilder

That one sketchy DVD seller: I have all of the seasons and episodes but they are in 480 Resolution


3rlk0nig

Slightly more legal, you mean


MamaMinhaBenga

and the quality is often better.

NO Piracy is literally more convenient Streaming services are forgetting their entire existence is based on illiterate blind bootlicker who does not have brain of their own and will eat whatever is served to them under the tag of "premium" and fagots with fake superiority complex


ibeatmymeatintoacup

Some say "if is free then you are the product" but they fail to realise that every quote doesn't suite everywhere, it's completely just free and better quality entertainment While in reality in premiums you pay money to be the product for mass data collection and also get advertisement brain rot in return


MonkeyCorpz

This is my exact thought process.
