Except when I went to Frostii's site, their torrents are no longer available for Eden of the East. I found an unoffiocial batch torrent, but no more seeds. D:
Guess, I'll stick with what I got and just finish the story, at least...
But I'll give GG's a try... Who knows if my PC will pull a miracle on me. XD
I'm returning to find another fansub group for Eden of the East. Lunar seems to have stopped subbing, and the one I found - before remembering and visiting here - was not very good (darksoul-subs)
Well, you can slap an h.264 stream into an AVI container and it will play, provided it was encoded with the right settings. But AVI doesn't support all of the features of the h.264 format and there is absolutely no benefit to using AVI instead of MP4, which was designed to support h.264. The only possible reason for putting h.264 in AVI is either ignorance or pandering to the hordes of idiot leechers who are afraid of change. In DB's case, it's the latter.
Edit:
I suppose I should also mention that AVI does not even natively support all the features of MPEG-4 ASP formats (i.e. DivX and Xvid), either. The DivX developers came up with work-arounds to put them into AVI containers instead of just switching to MP4, so all the Xvid in AVI anime you see floating around now is already a hack job that was never meant to be.
tl;dr AVI is obsolete and shouldn't be used anymore.

@jomz:
I recommend Frostii or gg for Eden of the East. Or, if you're patient (and your PC can play 1080p video), get THORA's BD rips.
Edit: Now that I read your latest post, I see you probably can't play 720p video without lag, let alone 1080p. I'd get Frostii's 480p versions, then.

I feel like Selene Shri... lost. o_O I certainly do enjoy that others do fan subs though. I like watching them. ._.

Okay... o_o I'll admit it. I have no idea what you're talking about. It has something to do with putting text translating shows in there right?

Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling koda will grow bored of subbing this and drop it part way through?
Wait, isn't that what gg ALWAYS does?
Or am I just still sore about them dropping Abyss like five episodes before finishing?

Oh snap, you're working on Valkyria Chronicles and the jury's still out!
Dang. Nevertheless, glad to know you're enjoying it.

Hm, I don't have any issues playing the .avi version of DB's subs for 07-Ghost. The quality looks all right to me.

I am going with eclipse for the FMA...
I am interested with the den of the East, and like you, I do hope that Lunar sticks with this and finishes it, for I'll be going for their work, too.
