Finally I'm finished with this AMV. but I don't want to send it out in a crappy condition.

So what I would like from you guys is to take a few minutes and watch this AMV, then you post which parts you found gay or ungay. or just a general, "it's cool" comment.

The reason I want a crit is that all my other videos get critted when I was very much done with editing it and have delete all the extra files. So there was no way to fix the parts that my critters found gay.(unless I would redo the whole thing)

So lets cut to the chase.
Anime is Tenchi Muyo, Universe, and Tenchi Forever.
Song is Hoobastank: Crawling in the Dark.
Title, Ryoko theme song
<a href="http://www.gadoo.net/Tenchi_Hoobastank.avi">Divx 37.9MB</a>
Crit me in anything. This is not a bullshit video I actually worked hard on this one

What version of Divx is it? Alot of the Divx Videos I've downloaded lately have been fudging up I think it's 5.12 that's doing it and I probably have to re-install it.

When I tried playing it I saw Tenchi with his sword then a after that squence the frame just held through out the whole video I doubt you meant for that to happen. So please help me fix my players.

I just installed 5.0.5 and it works fine.

I enjoyed it a lot althought there were a few problems I had with it, I thought it was pretty good.

Except that 5.0.5 doesn't let you do one-pass quality-based encodes like 5.0.2 and 5.0.3 did (well, at least 5.0.3 did until I tried 5.0.5 and then uninstalled it... 5.0.3 had 7 different encoding modes, and now it's down to just 3 (1-pass and multipass 1st pass and nth pass))...

cool :O
well a few things. First is the video quality really sucked :| like it looked like you compressed to msmpeg4v2 before encoding to mpeg or something.
Second is the tenchi forever clips were totally off aspect-ratio wise. Those need to either be letterboxed or the sides cropped off, otherwise it's going to look smashed together vertically like it does in the beta.
The only actual video suggestion I have is with the effect at ~1:38 where it skips with the beats. I'd say leave the whole scene there without the skipping (skipping like that really kills it somehow :\ ) but like perhaps flash and freeze and then fade out the frame at those beats. That way the beats will be hit + it wont look skippy + it will look pretty cool.
Also a strange effect happens at like frame 3045 (it may just be the encode, I dunno :\ ) where the previous and next frame are from one scene but that frame is from the one before. It makes the vid look skippy at certain parts. More examples of this are frame 3559, 3554, 3508, etc
may be an ivtc messup too.
Yep..
thaz it :\
