WordGirl Shorts

Before going on to the normal post, I should say that I updated the episode 2x23 post to include the commercial I didn't encode the first time along with the descriptive audio track. Unfortunately, the descriptive audio track has an error or two in it, so it doesn't sync up well with the encode I have up.

I noticed the WordGirl website is missing the original shorts. So I decided to upload them. I was only to get the first 20 from TV, I can't seem to find the last ten since they did not air with "Maya and Miguel". However, I was able to get the original files from the WordGirl website a long time ago, but I forgot to save the links. Those files are actually small FLV files. You can use a program like the free FLV Player found here to play them: http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/

First, I encoded the shorts like I normally do, but since they're so small I put 1x01 to 1x10 in one RAR archive and 1x11 to 1x20 into another. The subtitles are also included in a separate RAR archive. Below the links I will include a tinypaste link to the episodes list. As usual, the MD5 Checksums will be there as a way to verify the files and to see what I put in those RAR archives. You can use RarZilla Free Unrar to extract the RAR archives, link here: http://www.philipp-winterberg.de/software/rarzilla_free_unrar.php

WordGirl 2x24 Wishful Thinking / Lady Redundant Woman Gets the Blues

WordGirl 2x24 Wishful Thinking / Lady Redundant Woman Gets the Blues has been uploaded! This one got uploaded earlier than expected. =) The file size of the episode is a little odd. I am not sure why it became 250MB instead of 233MB. I usually aim for 233MB.

No descriptive audio track here since the other PBS station I got this from does not have a second audio track.

WordGirl 2x23 Wham Up! / Seeds of Doubt

WordGirl 2x23 Wham Up! / Seeds of Doubt has been uploaded! The other new episode, 2x24, has aired, but I'm waiting for better recordings of it. So it might be awhile to encode, and upload. No descriptive audio track for this episode since the second audio track was actually just silence.

WordGirl 2x22 Opposite Day / Granny's Book Club

WordGirl 2x22 Opposite Day / Granny's Book Club has been uploaded! Something a little different this time. I have mirrors for this episode thanks to Multiupload. You'll notice that the main Megaupload link and the one in the Multiupload link have different letters. However, they both lead to the same file. Also, this episode is pretty early due to getting a good recording on the first airing, which is pretty rare.

WordGirl 2x21 should broadcast next month.

I forget if I mentioned this before, but the Descriptive Audio Track is an AC3 audio file for the blind and seeing-impaired. The track has another narrator describing what is going on-screen. Almost like an audiobook or radio-drama.

For those who know about IVTC and such, I would normally decimate to 23.976 FPS, but certain effects in this show are done in 29.970 FPS, so I decided to keep it at 29.970 after video stuff.

WordGirl 2x19 has been uploaded!

WordGirl 2x19 Oh, Holiday Cheese / Ch-ch-ch-change Day is up! You will notice I'm using Multiupload.com this time around. This site will upload a file to other webhosters so you can have several choices, or mirrors, to download from! If you're new to Multiupload, go to the link like you normally do. Once there, you will see a list of webhosters that also have the same file. Go ahead and click on the one of your choice, then proceed as normal. I recommend Megaupload, hotfile, and zShare. Watch out for the ads!

The Megaupload links are listed first, then the Multiupload mirrors. This episode also has the Descriptive Audio Track in AC3 audio format; there isn't a Megaupload link for this one yet, there is currently an odd problem with it.
