J. League Media Thread - part II

VLC and other five DVD players I tried won't work. perhaps a new SHARP DVD player (same brand as my HDD) would work, but not sure...

Well, basically the HDD/DVD recorder formats the DVD its own way, and the only ways to transform it into a normal DVD are:

1) Converting it with your computer, a really time consuming process that in any case involves burning two DVDs (the encoded one, and the one after the encoded files have been moved into your computer and converted)

2) Simply let the HDD recording run, and with the three analog (white/yellow/red) cables make a copy on yet another, external DVD recorder. There is no protection working if one goes through the analog cables, and the quality is still very good (well, it is DVD, anyway, so no HD).

Both are a royal pain in the arse.

I called twice SkyPerfecTV, asking for information, and how could they do this HALF WAY THROUGH TEH SEASON hoping people won't bitch about it.

They said they will call back, and so, I am waiting...

 

dude... I posted the exact same clip with the exact same comments, few posts ago.

 

So for anyone with SkyPerfect, FujiTV ONE is showing the 2004 Nabisco Cup Final between FCT and Urawa tonight starting at 6 (till about 8:30).

I would, quite literally, kill for a copy of this. Protected DVD, unlocked DVD, doesn't matter. Will pay for shipping and blanks, gratuity, a hooker (just kidding), whatever. Anyone?

 

Is it channel 363?

 

No clue, I think on SkaPa it's either 739 (SD) or 614 (HD)? 363 is TBS according to Wikipedia... and no clue what it would be on other providers (if other providers even have it).

 

I'll check when I get home, but if it is not in my "package" I am afraid there's nothing I can do...
Of course I would like to watch it/own it too.

 

Apparently it costs 1500/month extra for the Fuji channels (ONE, TWO, and NEXT), so something tells me you aren't shelling out cash for them

 

20 minutes to go... Goru, any luck? Hopefully even if you can't record it somebody does and uploads it somewhere, it'd be a terrible waste for a fresh digital recording to pop up and nobody to have it.

 

Dok, I just got home. I called my dutiful wife on the way, but unfortunately we don't have access to Fuji TV... In my case Bellmare-Sagan will have to do for tonight... ***SIGH***

In the meantime, still waiting to hear from SkyPerfecTV to call me back about them encripting games, they told me they will call me back on Monday...

 

Aww. Well, hopefully someone who uploads one of the games you always post will come through. Worst-case I'll load Winny on my Windows laptop and go exploring...

 

Better video of Pixy's goal, shows him kicking the ball as well as the distance.

Helluva shot!

 

Legendary

 

I found online a private selling 16 VHS volume with al the digests of the whole 1993 season. The price asked is 8,800 yen plus shipping (probably a total of around 10,000).

If somebody is willing to share the (economic) pain, I'd be willing to slowly but regularly (say one per week) digitalize them in good quality and share them online.

If interested, please check in quickly, because the auction goes in two days.

 

I won't go 50-50 but I'd chip in 1000.

 

All we need is 4-5 people chipping in 1000-2000 yen each...
I'd buy them, but I just drove my wife crazy with the J.League Yearbooks...

 

Goru mentioned this in the J1 thread.

Kyoto supporters leading a chant for demoted Oita Trinita. In stark contrast to Goru's editorial on goal.com about a loss of civility in J.League, I think this proves that there's still honor in the stadium... just maybe more of it in the stands than on the field.

 

My commentary was about the players, J.League fans are wonderful, with a VERY FEW exceptions. This was a great moment of sportsmanship after an after all harshly played game. And I am quite sure Trinita fans would have done the same for us...

 

Ok, hear this...

Today SkyPerfecTV finally called back, and I was out playing with the boys, so my wife got on the phone. They apologized for "sending the wrong waves," (not only to me, but to the whole of Japan...) and told that even thou they can't replay the game we've "lost," they will fix the problem and return the J.League games as non-encrypted as they were supposed to be...

Can you believe it?

I am wondering if it was only me, or many have called to complain, if they tried a dirty trick, and got discovered, or what, but... un-kuso-believable, ne...

Anyway, my wife demanded a free month of service, and they will call back about that.

Phew...

 

Best Japanese divers:

1) Yano
2) Okubo
3) Toyoda
4) Matsushita (Albirex)
5) ...

Please feel free to chip in.

Tamada must be cut off from the national team after this, such acrobatics might easily leave Japan with 10 men at the World Cup, and it would be deserved.

Shame on the ref for giving up to the pressure of letting Nagoya achieve a wonderful 3-3 comeback: Tamada is rather famous for these stunts, so he should have known better...

Check out this one from last season, and make sure you have a digestive you can reach quickly...
