Q1. How to download RAW video?
ANSWER :
First download the torrent file. This is a tiny file that describes the large file you want to ultimately download. Once you have the torrent file you want to open it with a torrent client.

Q2. What are RAWs? What are hardsubs? What are softsubs? What are the differences?
ANSWER:
When you see a torrent file that has been uploaded to the tracker accompanied with the comment, “RAW”, this means that the video has absolutely NO subtitles.
A video with hardsubs means that the subtitles have been rasterized and burned into the video. When you play the file, the subtitles will show up, regardless of whether you want them to or not. The subtitles are essentially part of the video.
A video with softsubs means that the video itself is a RAW file, but there is another (text) file in the folder that contains the subtitles. In some cases the subtitle file is not included in the torrent but available in our Subtitles Forum. Some media players will recognize the softsubs directly (or through a plug-in like DirectVobsub) and automatically play the subtitles along with the video file.
Q3. What video player do I need? Which one should I use? What’s the most popular one?
ANSWER:
There are various video/media players, and some will work for you better than others. The more popular ones include: Media Player Classic (MPC), VideoLAN (VLC), Window Media Player, BS PLayer and Zoom Player
Q4. When I play the video, why is there multiple subtitles displaying? How do I get rid of one of the subtitles?
ANSWER:
Multiple subtitles usually occur when your media player AND vobsub is trying to display subtitles at the same time. Either disable subtitles in your media player, or right-click the vobsub icon (green arrow) on the bottom right-hand corner of your taskbar and select “Hide Subtitles”.
Another reason could be that your video is actually hardsubbed and you still have a subtitle file in your folder that gets displayed on top. Just disable the softsubs in this case (see above).

There’s not enough content here yet, but you’ll be able to find lots of latest ongoing Korean dramas. This community usually produces English subtitles within 48 hours of being aired in Korea. I’m also one of the fan-subbers. Plus, you don’t need all the troubles such as downloading mpgs and srt files. It’s just click and watch.
