My sad story.

I'm not sure if this is the right forum and should I even write about this, but if you think this is totally stupid, you can just delete this topic. But anyway.

I love making and watching AMVs, especially if their about Mai HiME, my favourite anime. Mai HiME isn't so popular so here's not so many AMVs about it, if you compare it much popular animes [for example; DNAngel, Naruto etc.]. I've downloaded all those AMVs, but only half of them work. Somehow, AVI-files don't work with my Windows Movie Player or - Maker. I can only hear the music and thats not really nice. -_-'' I have no idea if it's my computer, my WMP or the videos which aren't working. I have the same problem with episodes, I've downloaded them too, but they're AVI's so they don't work. I can only do AMVs with WMM-files and it's really annoying. If you know any free programs which really work with AVI-files, please let my know. I'd be really happy.

I'm so jealous, I guess all of you can do AMVs with episodes. Maybe you can't help me, but try to be happy about your situation - it's better than mine.

First - wrong forum. What has this to do with hardware?
Second - read this guide.

I will say use VLC to watch all the file format you wanna see in AMV in here that also decoding when you use it for Media Player.
Here try this -----> VLC media player

Hope it helps your problem to be solve ^_^. If not just PM me and I will help you if I know some program.

Thank you really much. VLC player works, I can watch avi's now.

But I still have the problem with Movie Maker.. -,- I have a program called 'Pinnacle Studio Plus v.9' and I think it's great, but it won't work with avi's either. The guide was about how to play videos in Windows, but what about making them?

Right know all video material I can get is what other people choice to use in their videos. Maybe I'm asking too much and maybe you can get the answer from many topics or that guide, but still I'd like to know what I have to do to be able to use avi-files in AMV-making. Is there a video makin program, which will work? Or do I have to do something with those codecs..? Gah, I don't really understand all of those texts, because I'm bad at english. And my computer is in Finnish of course, so sometimes I'm not sure what to do when you have to do something with file information things when in my computer they are in finnish. Well, thanks a lot anyway, I really appreciate it.

I did overlook the part with AMV-making and Moviemaker somehow. I should clearify something first- AVI is an container, and all windows-based editing programs are fine with it. But they don't always like the contents, specificly the video- and/or audio compression. In your case probably it's DivX/XviD.

I'll point you to the guides section in generell. And EADFAG covers nearly all technical questions of AMV-making.

Be warned: Some people will go mad if if they find you ripping off their AMV's. Better get the DVD's to rip your footage.

And your quality will suffer so much that your viewers will set out to decapitate you in 30-second increments.

Yeah, I know, it really isn't good.. I try to download as many videos as possible and make them look like their from the episodes, but sometimes you can see it's from other AMV. That's why I don't put them here. It's really the only material I can get; they don't sell anime DVDs here in Finland [well, few maybe but almost nothing, definitely not my favourite series] and I can't order them from the net either. [Argh, don't ask why, but I really can't..] For me, AMV making can only be [and is] for fun. No one can see my AMVs, expect my family and friends but I really can't put them anywhere..

This is hard. >_< Maybe I'm destined to NOT to do AMVs. D:
