Title: Hell of a different knid
Post by: TrashMan on July 31, 2009, 08:34:37 am
AMV Hell to be more precise. Anyone seen them?

I downloaded them all and have been laughing my ass off. Pure brilliance.

Then I started to dabble with Windows Movie Maker and combines to best clips form AMV Hell 2 and 3 into one, 29 minute long "movie" of awesomeness. Thinking of putting it up on You Tube.

Now I want to do the same with AMV Hell4 (which itself is almost an hour and a half long). Problem is, WMM doesn't like MP4 format. Anyone know of a good, free converter into something like AVI or MPEG (without a stupid 10 minute limit).

Google "free video editor" and have a look at what turns up.

I want to covert the video. I do have other video editors (like Cyberlink Power Director), but cutting pieces and moving them around is incredibly ankward in it.

Been reading Roald Dahl's The Great Glass elevator recently?

I assume you meant Different Kind in the title rather than a Viscious Knid


Dekker fixed two massive typos for ironys sake

Oh, c'mon!

AMV Hell is a batch of silly wrapped in bizzare, sprinkled with awesome.
Anyone who doesn't like it deserves to die!

EVE Hell is really good.

It really ought to show the mindnumbingly boring POS warfare mechanics rather than what it does, of course, but then nobody would watch it...

AMV Hell 3 was good. The others were boring.

1 was just a short experiment. 2 had a few good bits, but it was still just starting.
3 and especially are the real stuff. Too bad 4 was the last.

It was actually AMV hell that prompted me to watch  so many new anime (and look up some other stuff - music, movies)

Video editing the proper way without forcing the abominal wmv format on yourself:

1. Get avisynth. Install it.
2. Get CCCP. Install CCCP. In the video filter setting enable Raw video (all formats) and also enable Avisynth (avisynth).
-This is for DivX, h264, x264, Xvid and mkv, mp4 support not included in widows of Windows Media Player.
-This also allows Virtualdub to work with Windows Media only formats like wmv, wma and so on.
-For Quicktime mov, or Realplayer rlm (if you need them) you should install the Quicktime and Real Alternative filters. (These allow directshow playback, and with this avisynth trick, editing of these formats without installing either of these spyware players).
3. Get Virtualdub or Virtualdub Mod. Install, (extract it anywhere) and run it (run the main executable).
4. Make a textfile with this line in it:

DirectShowSource("c:\Path_And_Filename.avi") //can be mkv,mp4,wmv whatever

and name it "myvideo.avs"

5. Open this file in Virtualdub or Virtual Dub Mod. You can cut/paste/edit the video to your hearts content. You can decompress it to a myriad of formats and Virtualdub allows you to use a myriad of effects. There are a million tutorials are there for the program.

ie. - Virtualdub Tutorial - Free Video Editor For Windows (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjWwlaE8kps)



Actually AMV Hell 3 was supposed to be the last one. They always "almost kill themselves" sorting and culling through a million entries. They withdraw and swear off of it....
...then the craving starts!

Well, supposedly this time it's REALLY the last one :p

But I wouldn't be surprised if someone else takes up the mantle.
