Hi. Is Strawberry Panic dead? Was looking forward to the show…

Strawberry Panic is not dead yet. Now that Higurashi is finished airing I should have more time to work on it.

are you going to make a batch now?

Do you mind doing other shows that Funi slapped their little intro on it, if you don’t mind?

Thats great! Really wanted to watch it since it looks captivating. Thanks.

Read the description.

Unfortunately I have neither the time nor the desire to do this. I prefer only uploading something if I’ve made a meaningful improvement worth sharing, and I don’t see cutting 10 seconds of video as a meaningful improvement. If you wanted to do this yourself though, it’s actually really easy:

1. download MKVToolNix GUI if you don’t have it already
2. In the Multiplexer, in the input tab, right click -> add files and select the video file you want to remove the logo from
3. Separately, open the video file and check where the logo ends and the actual content starts. All you need is the number of seconds.
4. Under the output tab, set the split mode to “After Specific Timestamps”
5. In the Timestamps field, type in e.g. 0:00:09 if the logo lasted 10 seconds (it’s good to subtract by one second because what it really does is look for the next keyframe after the timestamp given)
6. At the bottom, name the destination file whatever you want, then click “Start multiplexing”.

Note that this actually produces two files, one with just the logo and one with everything else (it takes whatever name you entered and appends 001/002 at the end to differentiate). You can just delete the first file; the second one has what you want. If the original file had subtitles it will copy them by default and the timings will be automatically adjusted in the output file.

Thanks!
