well there's your problem...your output quality can only be as good as your source
no matter how "good" a downloaded source looks it will always be inferior to dvd footage

and streaming != good quality

if you're serious about visual quality, Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> (yes, all of it. Might want to get a few snacks since it is a bit of a read)

so i should only use ripped media

if you want more control over the quality of your video it's always better to use DVD footage... as most downloadable sources are usually covered in fansubs, and even raws they have already done filtering on it, and the quality is more than likely going to be lower than what you would get from a DVD.

plus this site doesn't advocate using downloaded sources to edit with.

4. export
