So there has been Progress today but most of it make my head spin.
The other staff member on the current rag-tag team Xarathos (Xara) has gotten a chunky encode of the DVD rips we were handed. And… It’ll do.

However, I showed the .ssa files with the opening Credits karaoke to an undicided team member and this was his response:

So yeah. We’ve got our work cut out for us, for sure.

I’ll let ya’ll know when my head is no longer smoking. ORZ.
