Man, I haven't done that in such a long time.

Ok, here's something I just gotta get off my chest.

Nobody cares if you use downloaded footage anymore. With subgroups ripping the vid directly from a digital stream or Bluray (or even DVD) the quality really isn't that much worse than what you'd be able to achieve yourself. In most cases it's even better than you'd do yourself.
It isn't like making AMVs is connected to show you have on DVD or the VHS library you got anymore. Nowadays you can find everything online with little or small ease. (let us ignore the impact this had on amvs in general)

People will purchase a show because they like it and have the money to buy it. Not because they're out for editing material.

In my opinion the greater problem is with people not having the correct work flow and not knowing how to properly encode. Not the source.

So yeah Industrious Panda. If you don't have the Bluray to rip just get it online somewhere. Use your brain and eyes to determine the quality of your source.
Also there's this subgroup which releases rips straight from crunchyroll. You don't even need to capture that yourself. Won't be always as good as Bluray but most shows are OK.

I might have crossed the line, so feel free edit stuff out Mods.

It's not a matter of video fidelity here. It's a matter of legality/ethics:

There shall be no posts containing or on how to obtain warez, crackz, serialz, emulators, porn/hentai, bootlegs, or illegally obtain downloadable anime episodes, music, or any other sort of copyrighted material. You may be banned without warning for such posts.

As a community, we've already gotten in trouble in the past with a certain record company. The last thing we need is anime distributors (who are normally chill with us) suddenly thinking we're promoting piracy over buying their official licensed releases.

i just gotta say from the guide is old on the youtube part

since most Japanese companies see it as advertisement there is alot of high quality episode footage entire shows its easier to convert from youtube
you get the same quality more or less it doesn't make you less of a anime fan if you download or convert from youtube

the guide comes off like you aint a anime fan if your going to download or use youtube to convert offending people like me i couldn't get through it.

it should be updated not to come off like a ass wrote it

news flash some of us dont have the money to buy a dvd were probably gonna watch maybe once some animes are a one watch deal.
plus people that make amv's now download from one site or another get use to it.

dont ask where to get footage no one is going to answer truthfully because its one rule on this site not to talk about websites that are illegally posting animes which are most all of them

Yes.. Unfortunate but we simply cannot help you. :/. It sucks because Blu Rays and DVDs can cost you a fortune.. Best of luck to you though.
