what percent of AMV's are utter crap?

Well that true, but you did describe a fairly good set of base paramaters to judge crap AMV's by.

There is no definitive answer, because you are judging "art", and therefore branding something "crap" is purely subjective. Someone will always like something you don't, and vice-versa.

Not sure what the number is, but I know my AMVs are in that percentage.

linkin park is overused, and dbz is overused (and a bad anime) so to continue to make them after the 500 marker is idiotic. They are singled out because evert noob wants to make one. And does, and they 90% of the time suck. because its was the noobs first video.

Even if it is just the creator and his/her friends.

The problem with the AMV world is that people (ab)use it as a time-killer. Making AMVs with that attitude results in a crappy AMV almost all the time. The ratio of those who really put effort into their work and have pride in it vs. those that have the equipment and source footage and boredom is... well, I don't know, but the latter outnumbers in any case. Thus, you have 75%+ crap to be optimistic, likely closer to or even more than 90% of all AMVs made fall under that category given the large scope of "the catalogue" and including the ones that aren't listed into the numbers. It's nothing concrete, but you weren't expecting such anyway ^^.

According to Sturgeon's Law 90% of all AMVs are crap, just like everything else.

I have to agree on that one.

Look at the percentage of people who don't PRACTICE!

And then the people who say "how do I make an amv?"

I'm glad I never asked that question. The best way to answer such a question in ur mind is to say, "can I have a critical opinion?"
