Starlit MAKING BOOK

I was the most excited about this product because I am a sucker for photo books. Unfortunately, this took the longest to release due to some delays on the production side. If I remember correctly, the release date was pushed back twice.

The cover is matte. The inside pages are semi-glossy. It comes with four bookmarks. In the photo there's only three because I can't find the other one (featuring Yi Xin).

OTHER DVD RELEASE
Singapore version
2 DVDs (Vol 1 - episode 1-11, Vol 2 - episode 12-22)
SGD50
Info here
Released by TS Group

This was purchased with the help of a friend. Apparently TSGroup has numerous stores across Singapore. I don't know the history of their company, but with the amount of Taiwanese, Korean (etc) series and movies they release, they must be an official distributor in Singapore.

Packaging is very plain and simple. Look at the photos below:

front


back


inside

The subtitles are GOOD. For those who cannot or don't want Chinese characters showing up, there are none on this release.
Video quality is VERY GOOD. I'm going to make screencaps ASAP.

Episode 17

OMG, uploading Part 4 of this episode gave me a big headache! My Internet connection became really troublesome after I uploaded Part 3 last Wed night-Thursday morning. I couldn't upload files, even photos! I had so many unsuccessful upload attempts for Part 4 which is the smallest file. At one point, I got an error when the file was already 80% uploaded *facepalm* Anyway, all four parts are complete now.

Enjoy!

update

Just a quick post to let you know that we're alive and working hard.

I've been busy again this week and my Internet connection has been spotty so I've had trouble uploading Ep2-6 version 2. Please be patient.

Regarding Ep 11-12, let us wait for yanaliao's uploads. Again, please be patient.

---

Looking at the site counter, this site has over 3,000 visits already. The counter is set to count unique page loads per day and I am amazed with the number.

Thank you for supporting Starlit. I hope you enjoy watching the drama. As a fan of Jerry Yan, I am happy when I see others watching his work.

hardsubbed episodes, Version 2

A couple of weeks ago, we got requests to raise the subtitles above the Chinese characters so the text would be easier to read.

yanaliao has done this from Episode 7 onwards. With her permission, I re-encoded the first 6 episodes.

If you download the episode:
Do you like this format? Do you hate it? If you have anything to say, leave a comment on this post.

how to save and join files

Some media files are too big to upload or download at the same time, so programs such as HJSplit (Windows) or Split and Concat (Mac users) are used to split large files, and merge/join the files back.

Instructions on how to download, save and join the files under the cut:

WINDOWS users
Downloading and Saving

1. Download and save all parts in ONE folder. If you save one part in a different location, the file won't be joined properly later on.

I haven't usedHJSplit in a long time, so I am linking the rest of the instructions from this resource post from jdramas LJ community.
2. Make sure you save these files correctly. Usually they save automatically the right way, but every once in a while Windows tries to save the .001 file as a default media file and it screws up all the files in that particular episode and they can't be rejoined. So it's really important to look at how your computer is saving the .001 file.

When you go to download the files and the little window pops up where you choose the location to save the file, you have to make sure you select "all files" as the file type.

These two pics show what I mean better than I can explain:
A screen print of what it looks like when it's going to be saved wrong.
A screen print of how to fix it so it will save right.

Again, this is the source for this portion.

Joining the files
To rejoin the files, open HJSplit and:
1. Click "Join"
2. Click "Input File"
3. Choose the first part (always has .001 extension) of the file you wish to join.
4. Click "Start" and wait for the file to be joined.

Once the files are joined, you can delete the split files / .001, .002, .003, .004 files


Mac OS
Downloading and Saving
1. Download the files. (I've never had problems with Mac renaming my files, so all will save as .001, .002, and so on)
2. Make sure all downloaded files are in one folder or one location only. If you save one part in a different location, the file won't be joined properly later on.

Joining the files
To rejoin, open Split and Concat
1. Click "Concat"
2. Choose the first part (with .001 extension) of the file you will join.
3. After choosing, the file will immediately be joined.
4. Wait for the file to be joined then you're done!

Once the files are joined, you can delete the split files / .001, .002, .003, .004 files
