However, if you are mixing 4:3 and 16:9 footage, please skip ahead to the next section. So if you're only using footage from one source, or from sources that are all of the same aspect ratio, there are only two choices to worry about.

This isn't as complex as it might seem though anamorphic series and anamorphic movies get treated the same way, and we can also treat letterboxed footage as if it was just normal 4:3. If so, it's letterboxed if on the other hand the picture takes up the whole frame, then it's anamorphic. It's very easy to check which: preview your project in DGIndex/DVD2AVI and see if there are black bars on the top and bottom. If on the other hand your source is a movie, there's two possibilities: either it's letterboxed or it's anamorphic. If you're previewing your project in DGIndex/DVD2AVI and the characters look too skinny, then you probably have such an anamorphic source. However, there are some series (like Haibane Renmei and Chobits) that are encoded anamorphic for 16:9 playback.

The first consideration: is your footage supposed to be 4:3 or 16:9? Most anime series and OAVs are at 4:3, as that's the normal TV aspect ratio. So now all that remains is to get your footage into a size and format that WMM2 will take. Okay, so you've ripped your DVDs, you've indexed them with DGIndex/DVD2AVI, and you've removed the interlacing. You can get a recent version of ffdshow here I personally use the 5/20/04 build. MakeAVIS can also be installed separately as part of ffdshow, if it's the only thing from that list that you're missing. If you don't have a DVD ripper already, get DVD Decrypter, rip your VOBs, and then come back here. This includes HuffYUV, AVISynth, DGIndex (formerly known as DVD2AVI), the necessary plugins, some helper scripts, ffdshow, and makeAVIS. If you don't have it already, get the current version of the AMVapp. Unfortunately, the current version of AD&E's AMV Guide doesn't address all of these issues therefore, if you prepare your footage the way they recommend and then try to use it in WMM2, you'll hit some unpleasant surprises. :/Īlso, it always works at a framerate of 29.97 (actually, to be totally honest, I don't know whether it's 29.97 or 30 - it always says 30, but the DV AVI spec requires a framerate of 29.97, and it exports to that just fine) no matter what your source is at, and it won't take AVISynth scripts - they have to "wrapped" in fake AVI files first. This wouldn't be such a bad thing, except that its resizing sucks. It can't handle resolutions bigger than 640x480 (4:3) or 640x360 (16:9), and will resize anything bigger to fit (and it won't keep the original aspect ratio).
For instance, WMM2 can only edit at two different aspect ratios: 4:3 and 16:9. :) However, its simplicity comes at a price: it's rather restricted in some ways. It's also free, which is always a good thing.

Windows Movie Maker 2 is one of the simplest video editors available today, making it perfect for beginners. Please note that this guide assumes NTSC throughout, as I've never worked with PAL footage before, and NTSC anime DVDs tend to be easier to work with than PAL ones anyway.

If you haven't read it already (or at least the parts on how to rip and prepare your footage), do so, and then come back here. It is meant mainly as a supplement thereto, as there are some WMM2-specific issues that the guides currently don't address. This guide assumes you're already familiar with most of the material in AbsoluteDestiny and ErMaC's Guide to All Things Audio and Video.
