And while we're at it, how do I make a GIF from a .wmv??
Thanks,

1. Download AMVAPP from animemusicvideos.org
2. Download photoplus from their website (its free)
3. If you're ripping from a DVD, use DVD decryptor to rip the footage and DGIndex to turn it into a AVI file. Animemusicvideos has a nice tutorial for using AMVapp's programs...

4. Open the AVI files in Virtual Dub Mod.
5. Find the frames that you want to turn into a gif. You see those things that look like sideways flags? Hit the one on the left when you get to the first frame that you want to capture and hit the on the right when you get to the last.
6. File -> Save image sequence
7. Create a new animation in photoplus.
8. As you open each frame of the animation, copy it, hit edit, and "paste as new layer" into each frame of the animation.
9. Use the export optimizer in the file dropdown to turn the animation into a gif.
If you still don't get it, read the manuals. Also, if anybody has an easier way, I'd like to hear it.
