1) i want to make a fandub project,but i dont know where to start,could someone give me an advice??
I'm assuming you want to start a project thread. Well, you can take a look here and I believe you'll get in in no time.

2) i dont know how to make a script..is it like making a drama dialouge??
Seriously? Well, all you really need to do is establish lines from what you're fandubbing and yu can tweak it around a bit to match the lip flaps if you want to. Otherwise, you can make it like a drama script if you wish. That way works too.

3) i cant edit my vid!!(like delete the subs and seiyuu's voices)not because i dont have the program but i dont know how edit the vid with the program (i have virtualdub,maybe it'll help)
Have you ever tried to use the program before? Well, I don't know about deleting subs from an anime, but best bet would be to fine a RAW version of the anime and mute the parts you want to dub over. There are a bunch of editors on the VAA you can ask for help, myself included. I usually use WMM since it's easy to use. Go here if you want to recruit staff members to help with your fandubs. This includes mixers, script writers, and music composers.

4) if i want to make an anime fandub..wich one should i use??RAW anime or subbed anime??
Like I said, using RAW anime would definetly help. Makes it easier to watch, since you want to showcase the voices and not the words themselves (if that even makes sense).

5) i cant mix the sounds..but maybe i'll cover it with mixer's help
Yep, recruiting a mixer would definetly help. I, myself, am available for mixing use if you ever need one.

I hope this helped a bit.

Okay let's see:

1. The best advice I can give is to go read Topleka's fandub guide. It's how I learned to do everything and it's really helpful. It has pretty much everything you need to know and other helpful tips: http://www.topleka.net/fandub_tutorial/

2. Scripts vary and each producer has their own personal preference to how they script. Personally I use the method in the tutorial above.

3. You can delete the subs with Virtualdub. The easiest way to delete them is to "crop" them out of the video using the "nulltransform" filter in Virtualdub. Just play with the coordinates until you cover the subtitles with the black box. You could also try the logo remover filter, but it isn't perfect and I generally use the null transform method instead, or even better get a RAW version of the video. No subs = less work.

4. Like I said in #3, RAW is better for the actual fandub video. There's no cropping involved which means you don't lose any of the video, and it looks more professional. However, subs are very helpful when you're writing the script and are good for the voice actors to refer to so that they know when each of their line is.

5. Topleka's guide has a pretty good explanation on how to do this with Audacity. If you have another program like Vegas or Adobe Premier, it's just a matter of positioning the sounds in the timeline.

Hope these answers help!

Maybe there's something wrong with the file name.
Somebody tried to send me files with an irregular character and I couldn't open it, but when they changed the file name it worked.

[sayaka-chan]

hey!!you're right..
when i want to open the file on my winamp it didnt work too..

and that's because the file wasnt valid
aaw..what a klutz..

thanks for the help monotori
