The rules of this forum say you can't ask for downloaded clips - and you shouldn't use them in amvs. The best place to get them? Buy the dvds and rip them - the guides on the member main page can help you with this.

Like Arigatomyna said, the best thing to do is rip your own, or if you don't have a dvd rom, ask a friend to do it for you. That 2-5GB avi file will be better quality than that 300MB you got off the net.

As for audio, best thing is extracting from CD. Most MP3s from the net are at 128kbps (which sucks when artists on mp3.com don't have CDs for sale, or that the audio from even their CD is bad quality).

Best formats to work with are avi and mpeg files. For personal preferences, I use bmp for still images rather than jpeg or gif, and my text is not from Premiere's text editor, but from Macromedia Director.
