I can read Japanese, but I didn’t see anyway to turn off the border. I think they did that on purpose. That way even if the vids get uploaded to Youtube or whatever, it’ll still have the X-MANIA logo in the vid.
DVDs aren’t very smart, the only thing you can turn on/off are tracks labeled as subtitles, but it doesn’'t alter the rest of the video, so if they made the border a subtitle, and you turned it off, you would just get a black border.
If they wanted to have a fullscreen option, they would have had to basically add all the footage again as a second track and let you switch between them, which would double the size of the dvd.
While I can see the downsides of borders in match videos, i would like to use one in a combo vid to provide more information, possible combo transcripts, hand motions, etc… My problem is that i can’t do combos, so if anyone wants to make a vid lmk =P.
I skipped straight to the twin T-Hawk beasting, although all the matches are excellent in general.
T-Hawk action is too good… I wish they had pulled off the win over oto-chun’s team and taken 1st. Low-tier baby!!! I love how they beasted on so many dhalsims and boxers (ok pretty much everyone).
I played it with VLC, a freeware player that doesn’t care about region encoding. That player also played videos fine for me that other players had troubles with. Maybe give that a whirl and see if it works? I don’t have the URL handy, but it should be easy to find with google :wgrin:
