Personally, I am stuck making vids with the same series or two for another year simply because I can't fricking afford to buy the entire run of DVDs for six or seven series. I have rent to pay and my job sucks. Not whining; just explaining. If I could buy up a ton of obscure DVDs and make videos for them, TRUST ME, I would. (I wish I could make vids for Rose of Versailles or Oniisama-E, for one. I've wanted to see both since I heard of them through fandubs and whatnot.)


One thing thta has worked well for me in the past is to explore different video stores in your area for Anime DVD's. We have a video store downtown where I live that has 100's of Anime DVD's of all kinds. Including non-mainstream anime. [Anything airing on US TV] This way you don't have to spend money on DVD's you can just rent and copy them for your source. Look around and I'm sure you can find them somewhere. You can also look online, I have come across great deals for new Anime DVD's on auction sites, and smaller retail sites.

e-bay, obsure and unheard anime dvds sold cheap.

also as videos go, i don't think i've seen to many of scryed, wild arms, battle angel and Beserk

and when i say videos, i'd prefer to see good ones rather than some just slapped together.

Tokyopop recalled the DVD within about 3 months of the original release and did a mail-in. Unfortunately the disc wasn't a great seller and your local suncoast or favorite online retailer may still have the old version in stock. What you want to do is either 1)look for the version in a standard keepcase and not the fancy release or 2)order from a specialty store (I got mine from animenation, but TRSI should also be good) and they should send you the new version attached to any copies of the old version they may have.

I got mine for $8 from a Wiz going out of buisness.

As for unused anime, Idol Defense Force Hummingbird! Come on people! Am I the first person to use this footage since Odorikuuru was made?! So what if it's 10 years old, it's the perfect anime to fill in those dead spots in your dance videos (AKA: My entire DDR3 video =P)

You have just gone up a lot in my estimation. So few people like / acknowledge this series... And I'm a sucker for anything cute (add Princess Tutu to this list).

As for renting, there is a store near my workplace that rents DVDs. But I doubted I could rent, watch several times (for the audio), rip, and return a DVD's worth of video in one night.

Gotta sleep, you know. ;)

That is a good idea overall, though. Maybe if you're near a store that has five-day rentals. :?

Just to expand this latest line of thought, DVD Decryptor lets you make Region-Free, decrypted ISO images of discs.

Combine this with a program like Isobuster or somesuch, that lets you mount images on your HD as a virtual drive, or look inside the image to copy files out of it, and you could rip the disc in less than an hour, and watch it, and/or copy the vobs out of it to a folder for use in a project at your leisure.

I haven't tried all these steps, but I have made ISO's of region 2 DVDs and burned them to DVD-R to watch them in my set-top player, and that works great.

Personally, I think the online rental-by-mail places are the best for this type of thing. Netflix isn't bad... has a decent selection- but GreenCine just completely blows their selection away. They have to have like 95% of all domestically released anime DVDs...

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. It's kind of steep for me, but I'll have to look into that when my finances are a bit better. 8) Thanks for the tip.

Another good method for doing that, is to download the program "SmartRipper". Just load the DVD into your DVD drive, and then in the program options you can select which VOB files you want to pull from the disc. [Under "Files"] That is also good for ripping a menu, or other cool spot of a DVD extra's you like. [Takes me about 25 min to rip an average DVD on a 12X creative DVD drive]

Load the VOB's into "DVD2AVI" and do the "Save Project" option to output a *.d2v file. [About 7 - 15 min - Depending on the DVD] You can load that *.D2V file into TMPGEnc and then clip out what parts of the video you want. This is how I get the majority of my source footage. You can use the DVD [NTSC] profile in TMPGEnc to output high DVD quality mpeg clips. This can be loaded into premiere easily and still retain almost all the quality of the source footage. This is just another idea you could play around with. ;)

Those times are what it takes on my Dell:
Pentium Xeon 2.2 Ghz Duel Processor [only 1 right now]
512 MB Ram
Windows 2000 Pro

That's a total waste of time when there are programs such as mpeg2cut which can extract mpeg2 clips without any recompression.

Um...if you notice, I just said earlier that I don't have time to rip a whole DVD on top of watching it. I know how to rip them. I am not an idiot.

Hence why I posted it takes 1/2 hour. If you don't have half an hour, how do have time to make an AMV period. Sorry being trying to post something constructive people, I'll shut up now, and leave it to the pros...
