assuming you have em'

true but there is also bit commet and some times lime wire
but bit cmmet is your best bet you need to down load it first
but then you can get any anime you need.

thats just my opinon because i used both to make my amv's

ok, i have a dvd, but umm..then what??????
im sorry im new at this....

1st there is no legal way of getting footage and the music usage is also illegal if your not using your own personally made footage/music. I don't want to get into a big "copyright" or "DRM" debate so lets just leave it at even though it isn't legal the fact is your not going to get in trouble for making AMV's.

2nd try searching for tutorials on DVD ripping that should produce several different sites with options on how to do it (I.E. How to Rip a DVD to an AVI or MPG File Using DVDx - wikiHow ) The fact is there are software and hardware based methods and probably better ones then that link I just posted.

Given your level of experience I would suggest the software route and then progressing to hardware based (if I remember correctly hardware based ripping leads to better image capturing but do some research I may be wrong on that...I don't do video ripping so I can't speak to it).

If you don't own the DVD then your only options are to buy the DVD(s) or find footage online...I won't go into more on that since we don't condone online viewing/downloading of Anime here on AO.
