New AMV help please

Post by saffieb »

Hi all! I’m sure this thread isn’t going to be too active since the AMV deadline has passed, but I have an idea for a new video and I’m having issues. The clips I used for my 2022 entry have been on my computer for a long time so I haven’t had to use the software in a while and I’m a bit rusty 😅

I loaded some new clips from another anime, and they came in as VOB files. I tried to use VirtualDub, but they won’t load. I then tried to change them to .d2v using DGIndex, but they either come out as .bad, or if I don’t fix them and try to put them in VirtualDub, they still can’t be read. What am I doing wrong?

I’d be more than happy to elaborate if need be. Thanks!

Your footage processing preparation steps are based on 20+ year old ways of doing things that nobody does anymore, even us old folks. The process got much simpler a decade ago: https://www.amv101.com/guides/preparing-source

Thank you so much. I was hoping you’d help me out. I admire you and hamstar138 so much. You guys actually got me into making AMVs 😁 I’m going to check out that link asap.
