A '''Fan Sub''' (also seen as "fansub") is a fan-produced subtitled version of a foreign-language program not yet officially available in the fans' nation of residence. Often of surprisingly high quality considering that they are usually produced and distributed within days of an episode reaching the air. Most commonly found for [[Anime]] and Japanese "dorama" (soap operas). Fansubs of [[Toku]] are beginning to appear as well.
In the early days of anime fandom, fansubs were a major investment of time and energy for a fan or group of fans, requiring multiple VCRs, special titling equipment and a willingness to do a lot of tape duplication and mailing. In recent years the shift to DVD format plus the advent of sophisticated video editing tools for the PC has all but killed the videotaped fansub distributed by mail, replacing it with the "digisub" distributed as a video file on the Net via BitTorrent or other file transfer protocols.
