For some reason they change the name of the spells (Blam Blazer to Blue Magic Wave), and every single capital C is instead an O. I've seen sub groups mix up I and L, since maybe they look similar in certain fonts, but I've never seen this, and I've never seen this type of error happen so often. Really ruins the mood and the flow of the movie.

The differences in spell names happen because the Slayers TV series were released by CPM and the movies were released by ADV; ADV rendered the spell names differently. While those changes are unfortunate, they're not a-S' fault, nor are they unique to a-S' release.

C --> O is a fairly common OCR error in converting DVD imagesubs to textsubs (I've seen in other encodes by various groups) -- it would've been preventable by simply leaving the DVD subtitles as imagesubs in the encodes, or with a little QC on a-S' part.
