As much as it sucks to have to do it, I say stick with the fansubs, and crop away. Unless you want to cough up the cash to buy import DVDs, that is.
I have the same problem since two of my favorite AMV-fodder series have either no DVD release (One Piece) or a very limited one (Fullmetal Alchemist). It's annoying, but hey. You suck it up and deal.
