Thanks a lot, Bob. I had been wondering for so long how to do this and how other people did it, and I stumbled upon this. Didn't even read the title, just blindly clicked on it in your user profile because it was your highest rated (that's how I browse for funnies XD), and I watch, and I'm amazed. Once again, thanks. Now I can make something actually GOOD.
Bob, I helped you out because you know how to tell a joke. I help out a lot of people. But I also get people who have made zero sites, and have been registered 2 days ask me how to make these things, and I tell them to make a few classic style sites first, otherwise they are just gonna post straight scenes from Family Guy. I know you think this is a kindness, but the people who want to make good sites will search this stuff out. . I could be wrong, but I doubt it
LoL is this how money-hat does it??? How surprising, this is a VERY innefficient way to go about it. If you use virtualdub, you can open the file straight off your DVD, cut out the frames, crop out the letterbox and process in 1 quick step. -1 because of how innefficient this is. With the length of time this takes you don't have to be worried about YTMND getting flooded with movie clip things, it takes way too much patience for the average slobbering YTMNDer retard to do. They will stick to their sh*te.
Personally, I help anyone that messages me asking for it and if I feel motivated enough and think that their site has enough potential and just needs a little bit of fixing (like removing adgif from the image). However, I believe that there should be some drive to find out on your own about something like this. Maybe I won't have to bang the head on the wall every time I see AdGif like I do now... you get a 2 for that.
YTMND crusaders take this all too seriously. The bigger YTMND gets; the more garbage there's going to be. Period. I think some sort of a format change is needed to make searching sites according to styles and tastes possible; and perhaps a user customizable front page that displays the types of sites that interest them. There's never going to be no pleasing everyone; and it's really pointless to stress over something you have no control over.
Ok, confession.... I didn't actually watch the whole gif, when I commented... it was moving slow and I DO use DVDshrink to start off, so I just thought I saw enough... I stand by what I said, but it's not like these are Magician's secrets, and the steps are enough to deter the lazy users... So I don't condemn this site anymore....
So here is what I use.... different from the tutorial... 3 steps, but you get nice big sharp gifs. --- 1) DVDshrink (freeware) --
2) DGDecode (also free) that converts it into an D2V file. --- 3)Then VFAPI Reader Codec(free) that converts it to an AVI. --- I like to use Jasc Animation Shop to make gifs, It's a lot easier to use for a beginner than Imageready ( and cheaper) --- I have to use Imageready for somethings tho...
saw this when it was at 0 votes and I was hoping it wouldn't get like this... every week a new guy goes "oh look I figured out how to make ytmnds so I want to tell everyone" and posts a bunch of programs, gets a huge rating for no apparent reason. I'm just glad these generally are posted at times of day so they don't clog the top viewed. If you really want to be a helpful guy just post your tutorial on the wiki.
Eh, it's not about secrets, it's about someone who would come to YTMND.com to learn how to make a .gif from a DVD. That information is WIDELY available about the internets. People too lazy to find it out there, who need someone here to tell them how to do it, I don't expect too much from. I'M WATCHING YOU WISDUMCUBE AND WYDRA.
Yeah, my last two sites have been from DVDs. Both are edited. They might not have a brian peppers or NEDM inserted but the timing and context are changed. My Hostage site wasn't a joke in the movie, it was meant to be serious. Out of context you can see how silly it is. I can see this tutorial being used by kids to rip jokes from comedies and throw in Brian Peppers in sex scenes.
Hey, lay off the guy. I've been looking for this information forever. He damn well deserves his five, because no longer do i have to use and edit sh*tty clips from YouTube and get my quality site rated down because of it. It was either that or take snapshots of EACH frame with my software DVD player... Been there, done that. Besides, I'm a huge BobTheBuilder fan, and rightfully so.
I'm sure I won't get a response but I might as well ask. When I open the avi in Imageready and choose to skip ever 3rd frame or so the the speed of each frame does not change so it goes too fast. Any advice or is there a way to change the speed of every frame to the same thing (and not individually because that would take forever)? Thanks again for the tutorial, I love it.
