Basicly an AMV with some differences.

Differences between MADs and Anime Music Videos
An Anime music video (AMV) is typically defined as a fan-made video using Japanese animation, set to an audio source (typically a song). That same definition applies to many MADs. As stated earlier though, MADs consist of much more than this. There are audio and image MADs, and even MADs that are unrelated to anime.
The main difference between AMVs and MADs though, is the fact that MADs are more like parodies. Instead of clips from anime series, MAD videos use similar effects found in opening or ending sequences of anime. Those effects tend to be synchronized with the music. Furthermore, MADs do not necessarily have to be anime related, where as AMVs are implied to require anime.
Currently, MADs have been originating from Japanese sources. The MAD community designates itself to be in Japanese exclusive only. This may implies that anime based music video of non-Japanese origin are deemed as non-MADs. This of course varies since some people also categorise them as MADs as long as they are in japanese language.

.. Multi-Accessed-Dimensionals are fairly easy to create and look silly when done Wrong .. heheThey serve no real purpose because its the Art-Form itself that's admired.
.. Within it are 45 to 180 frames per second of Living Video created in Multi-FPS Clips and arranged in a way to express usage of Editing, Technic's and Encoding Skills.
.. a MAD can be as simple as a clip from "Someday's Dreamer" where as she tosses something in a direction twards you, a blue AP dolphin comes down from the sky and swim's by you in the same direction; or it can be as complicated as 1) having no background to reference 2) people floating while walking and a man at his desk looking at a transparent screen 3) clouds are forming over head 4) combining 1+2+3
.. MAD's have no limits. The most common ones are about 57 seconds long.
.. MAD's are an Art-Form of Skill and Imagination.
I love um.

In all my years of not-being in the AMV community, I've figured out that the difference between MADs and AMVs is about the same as the difference between anime and cartoons.
