Wondering how to make a fanvid? It's not actually too hard. ^_^ Here are the instructions:
STEP ONE: Make sure you have everything you need. Go to Start>>Programs>>Accessories. Is there a program called Windows Movie Maker? If so, you can make a fanvid!
STEP TWO: Download the episodes. You can do this if you have a TV-to-PC cable thingy, or download them from the internet, like from a livejournal community or something. (I cannot post the link to downloads because of legal crap. So do a Google.)
STEP THREE: Import videos and music. In Windows Movie Maker, go to File>>Import into Collections. Select the movies you want, and do this for your music as well. This may take a while, though. =/
STEP FOUR: Make your fanvid! I'm not giving steps on this, it would take forever. -_- Check out Windows Movie Maker's help file if you're confused.
STEP FIVE: Saving. You should have saved your Project before, but now it's time to make an actual movie file. Go File>>Save Movie File. Select "My Computer." On the next page, choose where to save it. Next hit "Show More Choices" and put the file size at 8 MB (this will make it load faster). Now let it load, and you're done!
STEP SIX: Uploading!! My favorite streamer is PutFile, but other video streamers work too. Follow whatever the site's instructions are, it's usually pretty easy. =)
STEP SEVEN: Submitting to Airbender.net. [optional ;) ] Send me an e-mail with your name and the video name!
