Hey guys,
I've been reading through guide after guide and haven't quite found what I'm looking for. I'm strictly a Mac user and use Final Cut Pro to edit my AMVs. Usually, I download internet quality ones, but I got sick of the crappy quality. So, I dug into my anime collection and found some anime DVDs that I really wanted to make into contest-worthy AMVs. (FullMetal Alchemist)
My question(s): What steps do i need to take to get the BEST QUALITY footage from my FMA DVDs, into FCP, and export them at the best quality? Compressors, codec, etc.
My current stuff:
Mac OSX 10.5.8
MactheRipper
iSkysoft iMedia Converter TOBW
Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
Handbrake
Prior to deciding on FMA, i did some practice ripping/exporting with gundam wing. The footage itself had out of sync audio, and the export from FCP was odd looking and interlaced.
I'm totally open to downloading different software (except FCP), as long as its free.
Can anyone help me out or a least point me in the right direction? Please and thank you! ^_^
