First. Divx IS AVI.

Second. Virtual Dub. If you don't have it, you should get it. It will fix at least one of your problems.

If you still can't make uncompressed clips using Virtual Dub, either there may be no hope for you, or there may be no hope for your editing setup. Simple to figure out, simple to run.

OK, maybe that wasn't very nice... (and gramatical errors galore)

No, you won't find the files... they don't exist...

What does concern me is... Why can't you convert to MPEG1 or another codec besides divx (assumes that's what avi means)?

You'd have better luck locating just about anythign else BUT decent mpeg clips for an AMV. Besides, I still disagree with downloading footage.

I never said Digisubs suck. I said HQ video clips in MPEG1 don't exist as far as readily available web distro goes... (Yes I know that isn't what I said, but it is what I meant) By the sounds of things this guy has Digisubs... or something, because he's talking about "converting them to MPEG"

This poster wants footage, apparently. NO! You buy the DVDs if they're available for the series, or go without. No one has an obligation to give you free footage, no one should, and no one (hopefully) will. Moocher.

Another option is to convert analog VHS to DV, whether it be through your capture card or a pass-through system with a digital camcorder.

(lovingly strokes new Sony TRV-25)

Doubtless there are titles not available on domestic DVD, but are taking up space in retailers' bargain bins.

Shoot, I had too. Everything I've done up to this point was strictly on VHS.

It's a valid way to work, to be sure. I'm going to convert stuff from my Wings of Honneamise VHS dub because I want to remaster my "Learning to Fly" video, plus I have another secret project in mind for it.
