It really shouldn't be "extremely expensive to re-encode each language’s video files!". Has this industry not heard of transparent overlays?

- Izkata 1y agoThat explanation doesn't make sense because they are doing that: there's a few groups that explicitly rip and share Crunchyroll's subtitles (one is mentioned in the article).
- silicon5 1y agoMost anime on Crunchyroll are softsubs. There's a single video file for each supported resolution, an audio file for each language, and a subtitle file in the highly versatile .ass format (Advanced SubStation Alpha). There are some anime in hardsubs, but usually older legacy series such as were originally DVDs.
