I think AMV editing is too much of a creative process to be truly automated in any form, sure anyone could write a program that cut random Anime scenes and put them to music (could probably even do decent beatmatching), and theoretically that would be an AMV, but that's about as automated someone could get.
Any kind of action recorder would require I do nothing but make that AMV for the duration of the recording, making sure to stop the recording anytime I went to check my email or whatnot. And then I'd have to edit the recording to take out the stop recording action.
And even if it's not action recording but more, this section is XX:YY second long, starting at 00:00 and ending at 00:00+XX:XX:XX type recording, you would either have to standardize the software everyone uses (Everyone Must use Premiere version X.0 and AfterEffects Y, and everyone must have this version of that codec and these .dll's) and for alot of us the cost would go crazy to buy all the software needed.
Tell ya' what, if you truly want to be able to get videos without saturating your bandwidth, we'll create a subscription service, and for the cost of air fare, food, lodging, local transport once out of the sky, and some yet-to-be-determined hourly wage, we can send an AMV creator to your house with their anime and music collection to recreate whichever video of theirs you wanted to see, or even create a new one.
Good, Bad, I'm the guy with the GunDam
