fast version:
you fill out the new video information
upload your amv
confirm upload

more detailed:
in the members main page, you will see a button on the left side that says
enter new video. click on it and fill out all of the information.

next you will go to upload video, select your video from a list of videos you can upload (most times you will only have 1 choice)
you will get a username and password

if you don't have Internet Explorer (will be reffered to as IE from here on)
you should get an ftp client. The pic in my sig that says filezilla will take you right to the download page.

in filezilla, near the top you will see address, username, password and port.
for address, type kero.animemusicvideos.org
for username, type the username you were given in the upload video page (this is case sensitive, so be sure to type in the username exactly as it appeared)
for password, type in the password you were given (right below username in the upload video page) (also case sensitive)
just ignore port, quick connect takes care of this

after you hit quick connect, you need to select a file to upload
this is done in the middle-left part of the gui and is very similar to browsing for a file in your computer

once you upload, the upload video button turns into a confirm upload button
click and follow the instructions (which are pretty straight forward)

just a few things to keep in mind for this process:
make sure that your video uses a confirmed anime source (at least 50% anime)
keep the filesize under 100MB
turn off your firewall while uploading (this can prevent your computer from connecting to kero)

this may be useful if you haven't already read it

if you have any errors be sure to post again

I was able to get to that ftp site and enter the username and password I was given, but after i clicked log in, nothing happened. I have Internet Explorer, so does this make any sense?

uhh...that site is where you download filezilla
it needs to run on your computer. (you can't run it from the website)
...where did you go to see a login screen?
anyway...

since you have IE you can just put the following into the url bar:
username:password@kero.animemuiscvideos.org

replace username and password with the uername and password that you were given, but keep the colon in between the two

from there I believe you just click and drag the file that you want to upload into thebrowser window (the guide I pointed you to has a section on this)

sure I'll take a look at it (if it doesn't have spoilers to a series I want to/am watch/ing)
can't promise an op though, as mine tend to be a bit lengthy and I have tons of homework (college...go figure)

bah...cursed lack of edit button
in the future, the best way to get opinions is to do a trade in the opinion exchange section
most people do 1 for 1, but some will give you free ops
