JAV VR: News, comments about releases, recommendations, hardware

[Walle12]

If you like slender and cute girls, Kuramoto Sumire is new in VR (well, she started in 2022), but she has filmed 10 or 12 VR films. She knows how to act and how to talk to the camera, and her scenes are hot.

I like her at KAVR-237 (Download):

And HNVR-093 (download):

But she has many more, even trios, like URVRSP-164 (Download):

I am not a fan, but for the people who likes this type of sex, there is a new label, Hunter Black VR (HBVR-001):

It was pretty good, especially for a first scene from a label. Most of it was non-pov, which fit the scene very well. Lots of drool, saliva, quite a sight up close. I hope to see more scenes from them, hopefully with some performers who do SM scenes exclusively, like Aya Shiomi or Yuria Nanamiya.

Yes, she is very active recently, seems to pop up in every other new video. There are quite a few good group scenes with her. Despite being new, she has a very good dynamic with other performers. I liked her recently in URVRSP-166 with Morinichi Hinako Matsumoto Ichika



Amiri Saito is another new girl worth recommending. Very cute, already shot a bunch of good scenes




Overall, in spite of DSVR shitting the bed, and some of the studios refusing to learn anything new, there still is a ton of good content releasing every week.
VRKM, URVRSP, SAVR and HUNVR are consistently releasing good scenes, and although hell will freeze over before they shoot any group scenes, IPVR and SIVR with their exclusive models also do good job. It sucks i can't support any of it directly with the ongoing payment issues, hopefully that resolves soon

It's curious what you say, because it's something I've noticed recently both with Kuramoto Sumire and with Amiri Saito, And Ena Satsuki. In just a few weeks they have appeared in a lot of VRs from different studios.

It's as if for a while they were just shooting only VRs.... I wouldn't even be surprised if several studios share a camera and they shoot several films for different studios...

Yes. Unfortunately now there are more clothes than before, in my opinion, something I hate, as I have said many times (a little bit ok, not the whole movie), but as you say I always find something I like every week.

It's good to see that labels like HNVR, URVRSP, PPVR, MDVR, IPVR, have improved a lot. For me SIVR is still below their level. They release some good titles but others are incompressibly boring and short.

What I don't understand is SODVR, it goes from bad to worse. Movies with a couple of uninteresting scenes with catalog girls, and even recovering very veteran actresses who have already shot dozens of VRs. Light years away from last year's releases, with superstar actresses, and very original proposals. I don't get it.

I miss so much Prestige and FCVR titles... I and worried with Fitch VR (FCVR), their last VR is from february...

It sucks i can't support any of it directly with the ongoing payment issues, hopefully that resolves soon

Agreed. I too would like to buy some of my favorite titles from the last two months, to support them. I hope R18 will be back soon.

At A Festa VR I am buying almost nothing, because they only have KMPVR, SOD VR and Crystal VR titles. From KMP I don't like almost any of them: lots of clothes, short and very artificial scenes, it's all very mechanical and they put little passion and realism in it. With Crystal VR, the same.

They have other labels like Spicy VR (KMPVR clone), NHVR, but I don't like them.

And SOD VR, we already know how it is, a disaster in 2022.

I have only bought some titles where they prioritize full nudes and face-to-face scenes. I know I have very standard tastings, but well...

Yes, with Virtual Home Theater (Steam version) you can see the subtitles in VR perfectly. But you have to adjust them because they are too small and too low by default.

You have the option to adjust the height, size and depth of the subtitles. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to focus because the image is in 3D and the text is flat, but it works.

I hope HereSphere will add captions soon. It would be nice to add an option for the subtitles to stay fixed to the headset and not to the video, because in VR you move the head a lot. I already told this to the developer.


I'm currently using PyTranscriber 1.5 to convert the audio to an SRT subtitle file with Japanese text, and I use Deepl's website to translate to my native language. To avoid Deepl's 5,000 character limit, I manually copy and paste the Japanese text and split it into chunks if necessary. It takes longer but it works, and since I'm only translating my favorite titles, it's not a lot of work.

Since PyTranscriber 1.5 crashes quite a few videos, I've tried with version 1.4 and some more videos work, but not all. I will try to separate the audio.

As you say luckily in most VR movies only one person speaks and has the microphones close to the mouth, so it is well understood and the translation is pretty decent. It translates 50 or 60% of the audio well, enough to understand the plot and the meaning of the dialogues.

The translation has changed the way I watch JAV VR movies, before I didn't download the scenes where they only talked, but now some of them are quite erotic and get you into the mood of what happens in the sex scenes. And understanding the "dirty" phrases the girls say in the sex scenes also makes them much hotter....

And I'm also learning more words in Japanese....


I have never used DMM. As you say they only let residents in Japan buy, and I don't want to use a paid VPN just to use DMM. And with a free VPN I don't trust using a credit card through it.

I hope R18 will be back soon.... Now I buy everything that comes out (which is little) on A Festa VR.

Gave your process to translate a few vr titles a try, I'm impressed. It's not perfect but not as bad as I thought it would be. I noticed I got better results when I deepl individual sentences instead of multiple sentences, also it let me choose more natural sounding dialogue. Will research more into this, will try separating audio this week to see if that helps keep PyTranscriber from crashing.

 

[Walle12]

I'm glad you're getting good results My impression is the same: not perfect, but better than I expected.

Some phrases doesn't make sense and many others it doesn't translate if the pronunciation is not clear, but it serves to understand the plot of the movie and why the girls do certain things that if you don't know the language, you don't understand them. And you obtain some dirty words in sex scenes, too...

I will try what you say about translating individual phrases, thanks. About PyTranscryber, now I'm using version 1.4 instead of 1.5 and that one doesn't crash.

Another solution that works is the Tim-o tea one's: to extract only the audio to get a file smaller than 2 GB, and use AutoSub.

 

[Saren]

Ok that audio coversion idea worked on every file I tried that didn't work before. I just used VLC to convert audio to a mp3 file, works in less than a minute. Then I use PyTranscriber and it worked in about a minute as well. My pc is a old i5-2500k rig that I will be replacing so I imagine a newer rig would do it faster. I'll continue to experiment to find the most efficient process. I probably won't do this for every video but for my favorites its worth it.

Exactly this, I was buying 2 titles a week consistently until this ban..even bought titles from DMM knowing it was likely I won't be able to watch because of territory rights issues...but now, no more, back to pirating, I don't like it but I need my JAVR porn, if the platforms don't figure it out, nothing for us to do.

 

[Walle12]

I was buying some titles al R18 even if I can't download, only to support them, too. I hope they return soon. I want yo pay for a lot wonderful VR titles released in the last weeks.

 

[Walle12]

I'm not much into trios, but I have to admit that Unfinished VR has an exquisite taste in choosing them. They've been on fire in the last few months.

Who can resist a threesome with Hana Shirato and Amiri Saito? URVRSP-185 (Download)

Or this one with Ena Satsuki and Meisa Kawakita? URVRSP-179 (Download):

Sublime!!

 

[granca]

I have started to test translations with artificial intelligence, and I am getting quite acceptable results...

It only works if the dialogues are clear and well pronounced, and only one person speaks at a time. If several people speak, speak in whispers, or speak between moans, it doesn't understand it.

But in the introduction scenes in one-on-one movies, where only the girl speaks, the AI manages to translate quite acceptable between 50 or 60% of the dialogues, which is very good.

You still miss phrases, but in the movies I've tried it I've managed to understand the plot and the main thread of the dialogues, so I'm happy.


The problem is that few VR players accept subtitles. HereSphere does not accept them, I had to use Virtual Home Theater on PC. I don't know if DeoVR accepts them, I have to test it.

The way to translate is simple: With AutoSub you use Google AI to convert the audio to Japanese subtitles in a standard subtitle format (SRT). And with the web DeepL (which is better than Google translator), you translate those texts from Japanese to your native language.

To translate first I have tried this solution proposed by Jppilot with AutoGenSubGui:



It works very well and offers the best translation, but if you use files larger than 2 GB it gives a memory error.... And 99% of VR files are bigger than 2 GB...

Then I have tried autosub-0.5.7-alpha-win-x64-pyinstaller (Download), which accepts files of any size, but it works with command line, through a RUN.BAT file, and the translation it offers is the worst of all, I don't know the reason.

Now I am using PyTranscriber 1.5 (Download). It works well, with an acceptable translation, but with some videos it crashes and does not translate them.

So for the moment I haven't found the perfect solution, but at least I get to know the plots. If someone knows a better solution, please explain it, thanks!

How did you manage to get the subtitles running? are you playing te video locally? I am having some trouble find a player that support subtitle over plex/dlna..

 

[Walle12]

Yes, I play the titles locally, I use PC VR, not Quest. Virtual Home Theater on Steam support VR subtitles. Heresphere wants to add them (I guess also in Quest) but has acknowledged that it is difficult with the codecs they use (Media Fundation), and that it may take time.

 

[granca]

thank you I have tried Virtual home Theater but found the interface was too much for me, and I don't think it supports DLNA.. if I find something working I will update the community

 

[Walle12]

Yes, the interface of Virtual Home Theater is a little rough. It is not difficult if you study it 30 minutes. Most of the options work by default. You need to adjust the size and position of the subtitles, they appear too low.

If I find another player with VR subtitles support I'll update here, too.

had a further look around and unfortuately DLNA or plex server does not seem to be an option for subtitles support..

 

[Walle12]

I am sorry about that... Heresphere is trying to add VR subtitles. Take a look from time to time....

i mean i made it works with smb.. just a less elegant solution..

 

[Walle12]

How?

 

[granca]

How?

normal windows network file share.. I've tried also XBVR, but outside of the fact that it cannot easily recognize my already scraped movie (I scrape them with Javinizer) i could not make it work trough the network.

In other news, SLR announced that they have a JAV original scene coming this August. I'm excited to see how it turned out, their new rig has maybe the best image quality I've seen. I hope they will be able to release regularily, i know it was a struggle to get things going.

 

[Walle12]

This is great news, we will see what it achieves, and above all, whether or not they can release JAV titles on a regular basis.
