Thanks for all your reply guys

well about the case of too slow well...

some like it slow some like it fast some like it with full effects some like it just as is I guess.

One thing puzzles me what CrackTheSky said

tried downloading seems that my internet connection got problem with download try fixing it.

EDIT:

ok here it is...

I was suprized when someone gave a 1 star to your video because he said it was awful so what I did was search a similar anime used in an AMV so what i've got is
an AMV through time through space AMV same anime. heres the pic.

heres the other pic taken from through time through space amv

not much difference right ? the copy of the anime is as the same as the one first produced. I think voids vids were judged harshly by giving 1 star.

about the story well I think everyone has its way on interpretation like what kionon said. But its OK for me he made a plot about his AMV and that is how he sees it.

Elow and thanks again for the comments

@(.^_^.)

thanks for pointing out. Anyway that is the highest resu that I have with my video or is it my settings in video compile ill check later.

about giving 1 star for my video well everybody is entitled to its oppinion I guess.

Just don't expect a fast phase AMV to a "Sentimental" AMV right?.

Ok, fine, I did my OWN comparison, using screencaps from my own (much more recent) VoaDS video:

You can NOT honsetly tell me there's no difference. Koop's video is NOT the standard for what "good visual quality" is, ESPECIALLY because that video is over three years old. Now we have the x264 codec as a standard, and why Vo!D chose to encode with the crappy DivX codec is beyond me, but it is indisputable that the quality could be MUCH higher (by the way, these screencaps of my video were from the XviD version, not even the x264 one).

Also, I did NOT give the video one star because of the visual quality. I NEVER judge a video based solely on quality unless it's so bad that I can't even watch it, and this was not the case in Vo!D's video. I gave it one star because I couldn't even sit through the video once - it was boring to me, THAT'S why it received one star.

What filters did you use, crackers, because Countdown is much fuzzier than your vid:

This was my .avs script:

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("1.d2v")
telecide(order=1,guide=1)
decimate(cycle=5,mode=2)
Crop(0,60,-0,-60)
LanczosResize(720,480)
converttoyv12()
deen("a3d",4)
msharpen(threshold=8,strength=100,mask=false)
converttorgb32()
(I realize that ConvertToRGB32() at the end is probably unnecessary).

(Also, the Crop() is there because I merged the video with Beyond the Clouds, and to get both their ARs to be fullscreen apparently I had to crop off some of the top and bottom).

Huh. My script is almost the exact same where it matters... what was your source DVD? R1 or R2?

(I am also curious what Vo!D's source was).
