Well earlier I gave someone advice on this and someone told me it was a waste of time, so I will give you a brief idea of where I started. Which well get you going, and then good resources for advanced editing and information and other peoples guides to see their methods.
I used SmartRipper to rip all the VOB files [DVD video files] to my harddrive. Once you have all the VOB files there are many ways you can work with them in serveral different ways. *Possibly* the easiest way to get started [for a newbie] would be to load these VOB's in "DVD2AVI" and select to "Save Project" which will create a *.D2V file that can be loaded into TMPEGEnc so you can export your clips to various MPEG formats. These clips can then be loaded into premiere. [This is the method that someone told me was a "complete waste of time" but since you are new to editing it, is probably easier than the methods suggested in their guide.] Unless you feel comfortable writing scripts for a frameserver program, that can be loaded into other editing programs.
This is the site that got me started and answered many of my DVD-ripping related questions.

This is a good guide someone recommended to me with lots of information on various topics about AMV creation, including ripping DVD's.

Hope this helps you out some. I've been editing for a few years and am learning new things everyday, that's just the way it goes. You will start to get the hang of it...

not to sound harsh but if you didn't understand that you shouldn't really be getting into amvs, because that's the meat of it |:
