HOW MUCH HARDDRIVE SPACE DO I NEED TO MAKE A [video]?

I think it depends what you're ripping (whether it's a movie or an entire series). I have a 120 gig hd for amv purposes and my current video folder is a little under 50 gigs. 15 gigs I think is really pushing it if you're using a wide range of footag, but it can probably be done.

Gah, I hate when I don't preview my posts for typing errors.

I was just interested in this because I only have a 20Gig hard drive and I always have to sacrifice quality just so the whole video will fit on my hard drive.

You have heard of the bait and switch method of editing right? It makes using a small hard drive more efficient. Plus a new hard drive aint that much....

also... i downloaded some animes off of Imesh and they are really good quality... some have subs (i.e. Naruto, Shaman King, One Piece, Chobits) but i have got some that don't... you can download most dbz without subs and still okay quality.. i downloaded Ninja Scroll without subs in GREAT quality, Fatal Fury and Street Fighter had no subs and they look great.. (in fact my first AMV was to Street Fighter) so it can be done, u just have to find them..

Yeah but you know what? A) It's illegal, an doesn't support the industry, and B) your videos will look like shit, because anything you download is in a lossy codec. C) If youre gonna do it, keep it to yourself.
