I am new to AMV creation as well SSJVegita0609 but I am no stranger to DVD ripping. SmartRipper is a program which will copy your DVD's VOB files (glorified MPEGs I believe) to your hard drive. Note that they will add up to 5 or 10GB depending on the disc, the latter for dual layer.

However my experience relating to AMV creation ends there, from then I would use Flask to convert the video to DivX AVI (around 700MB).

Both of these programs (SmartRipper, and if you're interested, Flask) can be found at www.divx-digest.com. Good luck with your creations.

Flask = Big nono
DivX = Big nono

Follow the guide at the link SSJVegita0909 outlined. You make a D2V with DVD2AVI, make an AVS file with AVISynth for the D2V, and then you edit, basically.

But I would follow the guide, as my explanation is the summed up version.

vcdhelp has a bunch of good articles although it really is a kid's toy compared to doom. Read up there, but dont stay with it forever, there are higher and better planes of knowledge waiting

or something :?
