isn't that implied?

You do need materials to do anything artistic. I think.

Goddamn technicalities.

Love the nick.

Down in Joe's Garage...
We were playing the same old song...
...play it through the evening and sometimes...

*goes off singing*

I did read the link you gave me, it is pretty good actually. It's just that i am still confused with the ripping of the dvds part. It gave links in there to download ripping programs, but the links go to otehr links and i just got lost ya know? lol. O well, i guess i should go back to figuring it out, but if anyone has a good ripping program, can you give me the link to download it from, and if there are many links, can you tell me which one to choose? haha, thanks!!

ooo and thank you for liking my nickname, it is a good song. lol.

hmm, it seems like you can't edit posts, so sorry for double posting but.....i forgot to metion that i have a mac, so not all programs will work. I found this one program but it has legal troubles, so i don't want to bother. But, i have a dvd burner on another computer in my house, i just remembered would that be ok?

DVD burner? I don't see how that's relevant.

All you need is a DVD-ROM and one of those programs that works. If that other machine you're talking about is a PC (not Mac) - try getting some of those programs there and see if you get more luck with them on a PC. Although if you plan to edit the footage on an Mac after, it would make a bit of a problem transefering the raw footage from one computer to another (takes up lots of space). So maybe getting something to work on the Mac is a good idea.

I suggest you try reading over the guide again and take time going through the links, just so you don't miss any possibilities. After all, the guide was written by the biggest AMV tech experts, and if that doesn't help you - who knows what will.

Also, if you don't find an answer there, I suggest you try to post a new thread on this same forum (General AMV) and see if any other Mac users talk back...

good luck then 8)

or better yet read Red Wolf's Mac AMV guide (don't know why this isn't linked on the page with the other guides). It's supposedly a little out of date, but should cover you fine...and if not you can always ask him your questions direct by email. He's kinda busy, though, with running the AMV DC and all, so don't get too hung up on an immediate reply.

I checked out Red Wolf's AMV guide, or scanned it at least. ^_^;; i figured i should start worrying about it when i get onto the other computer, which is also a mac btw. His guide seems to be very good though, it gives pictures, which help out alot. So, i shall try to make an amv one of these days.

Did you read the guides on ripping dvds (they're on the member main page, at the bottom)? If so, then hop over to the 'video help' section and explain what you're using to rip your dvds and the error you're getting. If you're using DVDdecryptor, I could help, but you'll have to tell more about what you're working with. ^_^;;

I don't have many DVD's, so could I use clips from Kazaa instead? I don't really want great quality stuff right now. Thought I'd start it small, so right now I want to use Kazaa, if I can. So can I?

shlow down with the Kazaa clips!

Were you to look atforum rules when signing, you would see that one of the ethical guidelines is 'thou shalt not use downloaded footage'.

Generally, the quality of video is somewhat of concern. However, the bigger concern is an ethical one - if you're using clips from current digisubs, i.e. anime that's not licensed and sold on DVD in the US but available for download through fansubber groups - use of that is somewhat disliked, but noone willl give you too much pain about it. However...

While noone says you physically can't, the community definitely looks down on when a new video comes out that uses downloaded footage from a licensed anime - Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, DBZ, Eva and many others you can find on store shelves in America.

I strongly suggest you stay with DVD footage, but if you must download - try going with Digisubs. Otherwise don't expect much respect from informed reviewers...

good luck then 8)
