I agree with AD on this one..
No one says you have to follow a guide to the "T"... I've myself have read the guides, talked with others and combined that to enrich how I do things in my case.
Making another guide is fine and having different views on things is fine to, but it seems to me that HeavyMetal's post seems to imply more of slamming the guides and saying figure it out on your own based on something written well over two years ago. The proper edicate for this would be to just simply say I don't agree or use the guides and state a more valid reason why....
Guides are there to help people, but not solve all thier problems exclusivly.

never thought id spark up a conflict like this. 
actually, what im doing is ripping cowboy bebop to my hard drive for two reasons. Playback and making videos. (my brother likes watching them on his laptop on vacation)
Now, the guide can get my perfect AMV quality video. But, they take up huge amounts of space. I may have two drives, but still.
Obviously a huge video file cant (can but be practical) be put on a laptop for playback. So, my brother went out and did his thing and is encoding the video his way with Xvid. Which may or may not take up lots of space and look good.
I know the guide suggests not to use any form of divx. However, i dont have room on my drives for 23Gig movies. (i think i did something wrong, but thats my fault)
Now the guide gave alot of explanation so it helped my brother and I alot in a different way. Not following it to a T but learning from it instead.
People have different ways of doing things.

Try VCD
Ah badass link. I like it. Scintilla always seems to know where to look.

Hey gizmohacker4 you may want to get your brother to put the files into a VCD standard.
VCDs come from the old mpeg-1 CD standard, but using Xvid's mpeg-4 should compact it even more.
AD is right about Divx though. Just use Xvid instead. It originates from the same code. Xvid works better though. (More tweaking = better performance I suppose.)
Take note of the quantization option. This option is very useful with lossy compression. Its made to blend bright indistinguishable lights together to save space.
The rods in the human eye work will for judging brightness, but variations in really bright lights are not particularly detectable.
Note: Dont confuse quantization (video) with quantisation (audio).
Quantisation alters times and durations in sound to match beats and subbeats more accurately.
You may even want to consider just burning VCDs. VCDs are low quality, but not too bad for travel.
I do believe I struck a sour chord. oops!
AD assumes to much about what I think. I said the guides were fine, but people should learn beyond them. Simple as that. I even made suggests of where to start. So many don't though.
Bullshit huh. Ever heard of a made for TV movie. Its not like Ghost in the Shell was a huge hit in Japan either. (Well Ghost in th Shell is a bad example it went to theater, but you get the idea.) I sometimes wonder if anime is bigger in the west than Japan anymore. Its not like Japanese TV consists of 24/7 anime.
As for autoloading AD I do believe I wrote this:
The location is likely something like C:\Program Files\AviSynth\Plugins
I've never had that fail to work so far.
I get the feeling people skim what I write and make their own conclusions. I should start sneaking in hidden messages or something.
So, you making a video gizmohacker4?

As for autoloading AD I do believe I wrote this:
Just for future note gizmohacker4 dumping .dlls into the plugins folder under Avisynth in Program Files typically autoloads functions.but you could try to load the plug-ins with script.
The location is likely something like C:\Program Files\AviSynth\Plugins
I've never had that fail to work so far.
