For the time being, whenever I have free time, I'd like to watch anime. Well, of course I've already watched anime since several years ago. One of my favorite is Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden.
Basically the story is about a Ninja boy. I should not elaborate the story here since you can find it easily in the net, just google it. I've found out that this anime is very popular all aver the world. It has been aired in many country, and for some country like mine (Malaysia), the anime has been translated to my native language. And of course, you can find this anime in English. Currently, the anime is still ongoing, for that reason we still need to wait every week for a new episode. I found the storyline is very good, and I'm quite impressed with the storyline. The writer is very creative, perhaps he has a very high imagination. That's how people attached to this anime. Most of my friends also like this anime. For anime fans out there, I'm strongly suggested this one. Try to watch the first episode, and get hooked!
For some people, they don't like this anime because its too long. Its 179 episode already, and still ongoing (for Naruto Shippuuden). Not to mention Naruto, which has 220 episode. For your information, Naruto Shippuuden is the sequel for Naruto. So if you want to start, better start with Naruto first...
Next time, I'll suggest another anime for you.

Mux subtitle
One of the common format for movies and tv series nowadays is mkv. This type of file has some special characteristic regarding the subtitle. It's subtitle some kind of half soft and half hard-subbed. If you're using Media Player Classic (just like me), you still can turn on and off the subtitle but you can't find the subtitle file (eg srt, sub etc.) That's why I said half soft and hard-subbed. Normally, for avi file, if you have soft-subbed file, you can turn on and off the subtitle but for hard-subbed avi file, you can't. So if you have hard-subbed file with foreign language which you don't understand, you have to bear with it (it's some sort of annoying).
For mkv files, the half soft and hard-subbed is called MUX. The uploader muxing the subtitle during the convertion process from any type of file (normally avi) to mkv. You don't have to download another subtitle file but you still can turn it on and off. I can say it's quite convenient if you have downloaded movie with subtitle in foreign language because you can still turn it off. And still, you can find another subtitle that you can understand and play the mkv movie with it.
How do you turn it on and off? I guess I'll tell you later in my next post.

Playing movies with subtitle
By now you should have known what is the different between hard-subbed and soft-subbed. So here comes the part that I should share how to watch movies with subtitles. I guess I'll just tell you regarding soft-subbed, since you won't get any problem with hard-subbed.
Basically it just so simple, almost just like the hard-subbed one. The things you should have are suitable player, the movie file (.avi, .rmvb, .mkv, .mpeg etc) and the subtitle file (.srt, .sub etc). As for me, I would prefer Media Player Classic, since it's a freeware software and can be used to play almost all video files including .3gp with the subtitle (of course you need the right codec for all of these). I've used K-Lite Mega Codec Pack plus real alternative for rmvb files.
Both files (video and subtitle files) should have the same name, not even differ in a single character except for the extension (.avi and .srt). Take a look at the screenshot:
The name for both files are exactly the same, except for the extension. If your files comply to this, just play the movie file and the subtitle will appear. Try it first, and I'll tell you more about things related to subtitles later.

Hard-subbed and soft-subbed
How to watch movies with subtitle? First, you should know what is the different between hard-subbed and soft-subbed. Most of the movies from the internet didn't embedded with the subtitle. This is what we called "soft-sub" so that the "hard-subbed" should be the movies with embedded subtitle.
The soft-subbed needs another subtitle file, in order for the subtitle to appear when watching the movie. The most common format for subtitle is .srt but sometimes you can find .sub format. As for me, I prefer the .srt one.
For the hard-subbed, because the subtitle is already embedded in the movie file, you don't need another subtitle file. The disadvantages of hard-subbed is you cannot turn the subtitle off. Why do you need to turn it off? Sometimes, you'll find some movies with foreign subtitle language, and you can't understand. So it's better if you watch the movies without the subtitle. For soft-subbed, you can find the right subtitle (the language that you understand). And if you still can't find it, just delete the subtitle file (.srt format) and watch it without the subtitle.
Why do people need the subtitle? Because they can't understand the spoken language of the movies. I found its quite often for people to download English subtitles for English movies. This is because they can understand the language better when they read it rather than just hear it. That's why they need the subtitle.

7zip - How to extract/join
7zip is another software for splitting, joining and extracting files. It can be used to extract .zip and .rar file, and also can be used to join .001 files. This is a freeware version of software, no need to buy or find keygen/crack or what so ever. You can install this software and you don't need HJ Split and Winrar. This is the example of 7zip archive files, split into 4 parts. Again, the first 3 files have the exactly same size, just like winrar archive files or HJ Split.
Basically, how to use this software is about the same with Winrar. Just right click the file or the first file and scroll your cursor to 7zip and you can select 'extract here' to extract it. Refer this screenshot:
In the example, the file is password protected so we need to key in the password. It'll ask for the password right after we select 'extract here'. This is the box where you need to key in the password.
Just type the correct password and click 'ok'. The extracting process will start right after that. Here is the screenshot showing the progress of the extracting process.
It will take some time depending on your PC specification. After the process is completed, you'll get a new movie file and you can enjoy it.
The screenshot in this post is for a 7zip file but the step for joining .001 and extracting .rar/.zip file is exactly the same. For 7zip files, we still can used HJ split and Winrar but we need to join it first, and then extract it before we can watch it. Better use this software (7zip) because we only need to do it once. Furthermore, if the file is password protected like in the screenshot, then you need to enter the password 4 times to extract it using Winrar after joining it using HJ Split. With this software, you can save a lot of times.

HJ Split - Identify File Type
By now you should have known how to join file with extension .001, .002, .003 and so on (if you understand my previous post). By the way, its not that hard.
Sometimes people just splits the movie file before uploads them to the filehosting but sometimes they zip/rar the movie file and then use HJ Split to split them into smaller size and then upload to the filehosting. You can identify the file that has been split by HJ Split simply by its filename. Take a look at this screenshot:
The first set of file is a movie file. You can see the file format just before the extension .001. In this case, my file is Harpers.Island.avi.001, so I'll combined them and my resulting file should be an .avi file. If you've download this kind of file then you can test the quality. Just play the .001 file using Media Player Classic. (I've tried using Windows Media Player but it won't work).
The second set of file is a zip file. We can't test this file so that we need to join it. After the join process is completed, we need to extract it using Winrar or Winzip or any other softwares that support this format of file. After the extracting process is completed then we can watch the movie.
There is also a software that can be used to split file into HJ Split (.001, .002) format. The truth is, the second set of split files in the screenshot has been split using this software. The resulting split file is in this format but we need to join and extract it. If we're using that software, then we just need to extract it. It also can be used to join the HJ split files like the no 1 set of files in the screenshot. Not only that, it also can extract .rar format files. I'll share about it in the next post.
