That was you???
That was so funny-I love that song! I have some ideas for you because of my inability to do them myself:
Episode "Blaze of Glory" to Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory "
" "Fascination" to Human League's (Keep Feeling)Fascination
Scenes of Star Trek Villains to Inner Circle's "Bad Boys"
Yeah, that was me.

I'm glad you liked it. It was my first, and probably only, vid. I might do more someday, but it was really more an experiment than anything.
I don't know if I'd be capable of the ones you suggest--I don't know the songs at all. I'll see if I can find them in iTunes or something, see if anything springs to mind with them.

But your best bet is probably to suggest them to a more experienced vidder.
Compared to me, you ARE more experienced.
Is there anyone else who could make these videos?
I'm not very heavily into the vidding community, but I know that several fans have their own videos up on YouTube. You could try searching for 'ds9 fan trailer' as well as 'ds9 video'. If you ask nicely, they might be interested in cooking something up for you.
There are a couple of reasons why I'm reluctant to do it myself. First, I don't know the material--I'm not very familiar with those two episodes and I've only heard a little snippet of the first two songs once, when I went to listen on iTunes. To actually make a vid in a sane amount of time, you have to know the song and be able to think of clips to match the beat and lyrics. That's why I think it would probably be a lot easier for you than it would for me--you obviously know the songs and the episodes well, otherwise you wouldn't think of matching them.
Second, you have to
like the songs and episodes. The songs especially, as you'll be listening to them over and over and over and over... you get the idea.

As you check to make sure the clip is trimmed to fit and matches the beat and lyrics, you have to hear the song a lot. Judging by the clips I heard on iTunes, the songs in question would drive me around the bend pretty quickly. (I already strongly dislike "Bad Boys".)
I really think that it's worth trying for yourself, especially since you have some starting ideas. When I started the Barbie Girl video, I had absolutely no experience making a vid. I'd watched some good fan videos and some not-so-good fan videos, so I knew what I should be shooting for and a bit about what to avoid. I knew Garak and Bashir's scenes and the song well enough to be able to quickly find the clips I wanted. I used free software to rip episode segments (DVD Decrypter and AutoGK, using instructions at
http://forum.videohelp.com/topic301015.html ) and I used Windows Movie Maker (built into Windows XP) to edit the clips and music together and save the whole thing.
