:? What's wrong with being a sell-out?
if most people didn'tr sell-out, we'd have nothing to buy :( and that makes consumer america very very pissed off.

Besides, everyone on the org [who makes videos and uploads them] is a sell-out, so we're all cousins... If it makes you feel any better. It's legal to marry second cousins in arkansas :P.

I have determined Edge22's problem with ripping to be lack of technical skill.

I hacked into his webcam, and this is what I found:

Voted funniest thread of the day. :lol:

actually... looking at the member count... i would assume that *most* people do download anime and use that for source.

look at the top 10% and you'll see most of those video used DVD source (wiether or not it's HK *looks at #1* :roll:). Your not limited to only scenes without subs and the quality is overall better. the different between a good editor and not so good editor is pretty much how they edit (includes footage prep), duh. if you wana make a good video, one thing is knowing how to make it look good and using good source footage is a good start.

Personally I stopped downloading anime of any sort almost a year ago because of nasty little viruses and spy ware that would come attached to the video files. It messed up my system like you wouldn't believe and I had to clean off my entire drive. Now I get my anime through stores that sell the DVD's used or through Netflix. Also downloaded footage does not look as nice as a ripped DVD.

COOLEST RIPPER EVER! Imagine welding 5 DVD's together and being able to watch them all at once!

In any case, I will admit I did download some clips to make a Final Fantasy X AMV.

Then I came to my fucking senses and started ripping from DVD's instead.

You sure about that?

I look at the top 10% list and see a bunch of mediocre videos that have Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist in them and nearly all of them using downloaded footage. Some even having DivX logos in the corner.

It's nice to hear that the guides are actually teaching people things.
