As long as you buy them once they're licensed and available, you're good. It's just that you have to take care when you talk about Kazaa around here - people tend to get their feathers ruffled. And there's already a lot of hate aimed at dbz vids, I for one don't want more coming this way. ^_~

yeah

Post by Kenshin8518 » Thu Oct 09, 2003 7:07 pm

yeah, i kinda see... i personally think that downloading dbz episodes, especially those that are low quality, is just plain dumb. What i think is even worse is the fact that people want to use them in the vid's. When I make music vid's, i have my clips high-quality (which is why most of my vid's are over 30 mb) I think ppl should ask their friends what they think. My friend encouraged me to upload my DBZ Vegeta video, and after hearing that someone wanted a movie based off the "Cyborg 009" theme, i decided that my "Dead Zone movie" was good. I am not trying to make people think "Oh, here is another person creating DBZ movies... when will it end", but with me having no other anime's to do this for, then what am i to do.... oh well..... Oh, and do you by chance have a good program that can extract DVD's into AVI format? I am trying to make one for the Cowboy Bebop movie that came out in June, not sure of a song yet though...

Check the 'all things audio and video' guide on the Member Main page. I use DVDdecryptor, DVD2AVI, Avisynth and VirtualDub - gives you nice clean huffyuv (avi) clips. And with dbz you *really* want to use VirtualDub so you can smooth out some of that fuzz that comes with all the power-up scenes. If you edit it *before* you make the vid, the quality is usually great.

Not to push my vid on you, but if you can watch xvid, you should see this:

It still has some fuzz since I didn't run it through Vdub again and I compressed it a little too much. But the scenes from the Majin Buu episodes are excellent - the ones with Vegeta blowing himself up have to be the best rips I've seen (the close up especially). That's the sort of thing you can get with Vdub's 'smooth' filter. Very crisp. ^_^

review done

Post by Kenshin8518 » Thu Oct 09, 2003 7:39 pm

First off, i made a review of the anime. Ouch, it is 100x better than what i've been making. I thought my vegeta video was good, this one is perfect... no bad clips, perfect with the creed song, which i loved. A don't know what else to say.... my word....he's...a...super.....saiyan. I felt as shocked as vegeta did when Goku went super saiyan. Great Video!!!!!!

2nd off, i didn't see the 'all things audio and video' page. if you can, point me towards it.

Again great video!!! Now i'll go work on a new one, and not come out of work until i am 72 years old. Hopefully it will be good by then (and hopefully there will still be an AMV site)

Heh, I'm a big Vegeta fan. ^_^ Him and Trunks - I'm a fangirl, so most of my vids tend to focus on Vegeta (I don't have much Mirai Trunks footage to work with). But yeah, VirtualDub is great for dbz footage - the dvds themselves have fuzz, so smoothing before and after gets you some cool quality.

And here's the link to that guide (it's in the 'Guides' section of the main page, called 'absolute destiny and ermac's guide to all things audio and video' or something like that - long title):

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/

You *don't* have to read it word for word, but when you get to avisynth you'll want to keep a wide eye on the scripts (using reverse telecine makes a big difference).

Ok thanks. BTW, if you have a chance, you think you take a look at my Vegeta Video? I am in need of a few tips and such, and since yours was so good, i figured you were a good person to go to? Here is the link, in case you can:

Ok, V-dub will not work with any of my videos or my episodes, cause it says that it is not suppourted, and that microsoft owns a patent preventing 3rd party applications from extracting data from ASF files.

Well, unless they're already in avi format, you can't just open them in VirtualDub. You have to get them into avi (and the old Microsoft Video formatted avi probably won't work if you're using wmm 1.0). But if you rip the dvds (dvddecryptor), save the vob into a d2v project file (dvd2avi) and use an avisynth script, you can open *that* in VirtualDub - that's what the guides tell you about. If you already have your episodes in avi format you should be able to edit them - or if you can get your vids or episodes converted to avi (google searches for avi converters - mpg to avi, wmv to avi, etc) then you can open the avi file in VirtualDub.
