Well I'm planing a new vid and I started putting somethings together but the problem I'm running into is the vid capture quality. Most of the animes I used are downloaded online also. any help about improving the capture quality will be very appreiated.
Thanks

Try buying the DVDs instead of downloading footage

Buy a DVD-Rom drive at your friendly neighbourhood computer store, or even Wal-Mart.

They go for as little as $20-25 a piece these days.

After that, read up on one of the site's guide (either the EADFAG or VicBond's footage guide), get yourself a free DVD-ripper program, and away you go!

Thanks alot Otohiko that sound like a good plan I will look into that right away and if anyone has anymore suggestions I'm happy to listen

Just be sure to tell us when you are about to bring out the video.

You can try to use Virtual Dub filters to improve a little the quality of your footage, but you must know that if your initial quality is bad you won't get something really better. As it was said, if you want good quality, buy the dvds.

istiv thanks for the tip about Virtual Dub filters I'll also use that to improve the quality of my footage. I also plan on getting the DVD's from now on

If you have a firewire port in your computer and a video camera you can do the tedious process of recording every scene you need onto your camera and then connecting the camera to your computer to feed them back if you can't afford the DVD drive.

That's what I did for years. I don't really recomend it though, it's liable to drive you completely mad.

Why do you put a grin at the end of every post?
