Continuing this now eternal post, Rurouni Kenshin tv 75-78 will be put in abma starting tonight. The first two are the end of the *Christian* Arc. An Ending specific to ep 76 will also be posted just after that episode. Some may certainly want to use VirtualDub to merge the two -- unlike any other Kenshin episode, I almost kept the ending intact with the show, as one overlaps the other, but decided to be consistent with the rest of the post.

Probably not of any great moment to anyone but me, but, amending the above, I looked at the ending of ep 76 again and decided that it was way too integral to post separately. Hence, I've appended it and will post it with the episode.

correct me if i'm wrong, but are you saying that ep 76 contains an extra appended to it? i was kinda wondering coz my brother who downloaded your release [through newsgroups] said it's less than 150 mb or around that size, while when i downloaded 77-78, they're around 175-185 mb.

thanks

All correct. The Kenshins have all been encoded in old divx3 l/m to approximately the same quality (as will be the rest of the post for consistency). This means the file size is a direct reflection of the amount of motion, color contrasts/tones, and the light/dark ratio. Thus, an episode that was directed with a lot of static scenes and dark backgrounds will be significantly smaller then one with the opposite.

One thing I’ve never done on any rips I’ve posted in aba/abma (this, RoLW, Utena, etc.) is try to force them all to the same file size – some episodes, just by the manner in which they were directed, require more BW then others. And on the other hand, there’s no reason to give BW to an episode that can’t really utilize it.

So ep 76 does actually include an ending specific to it, unlike any of the other 77 episodes I’ve posted, but it is smaller – due mainly to some very dark scenes. And the Ending itself has a black frame.
