Hello there, dear members of the RWBY community,

I'm a rather big fan of the serie and as quite a few of you did, I bought the DVD. Happy to own it be a bit less happy when I saw the numerous errors in the video (ex: rendering cube, Wukong's arm in front of blake whilst he's behind her, etc.). As a student in programmation, I have set upon myself to create a program that could automatically fix the mistakes presents in the DVD version based on corrected pictures.

Well I am happy to tell you that after exactly two month of intensive work and research, it is nearly completed! (It is completed, however you'll currently need a player that can read .VOB file with occasionally missing PCR data (I'm working on a way to extrapolate this piece of data)).

All that will be required of the end user (AKA: you) is:

- To own a copy of the RWBY DVD

- Have the latest version of Java installed on your computer (pretty much every computers come with it, if not, it is available for free here)

- Copy the DVD to your computer's hard drive and download the fix (place it in the VIDEO_TS folder that the copy will have created)

- Double click on the fix and that's it!

The fix will come bundled with a database (size currently unknown, will depend on the quantity of material to fix) containing the fixed data. Here's the snag: I'll need someone at Rooster Teeth to send me a number of VOB files containing the different fixes WITH AUDIO for me to extract the required video fixes. I've tried by using the online episodes of RWBY that contains most fixes, however i've ran in a few setbacks that i'll spare you the technical details why it makes it unusable:

- The online episodes have the "Letter box" part of the picture, and not part of the picture's extension

- I have trouble getting the exact same bitrate for the downloaded episodes and the DVD

- Last of all, it is a copyright infringement, so I would not distribute such a thing even if I could make a work around for the previous problems.

I will soon (in a few hours) post a video showing the technology in action.

The programm will be released for free under the MIT-X license, along with it's source code.

It is to note that if I receive a fixed VOB from the Rooster Teeth office, I won't have to create a solution to extrapolate CPR solution, meaning that pretty much any media player should be able to read the corrected videos without a single problem.

Also, as it is, the program takes quite a bit of RAM and I would be interested in knowing your system specs. to see if I should make a less RAM intensive version a priority or just leave it as a secondary element on my list.

I would also like to know if you would use such a thing.
