I need help taking small clips from commercial dvds and inserting them into a PPT presentation. I've used "DVD to VCD AVI DivX Converter" which worked perfectly - once. Now I can't make it work. Error messages. Product support is nonexistent. Is there a fool proof way to do what I want?

You mean just replace .VOB with .mpg? Do it with "rename" in the file menu? Movie Maker doesn't like that.

Yeh you`re right, just tried it & it sees it as an audio file :-/
Do you not have Nero Vision Express or something? works in that.
Why do you need it in an editor anyway?

I'm trying to get just one scene of a few commercial movies to use as segways in a PowerPoint lecture I'm making. Say 30 sec to one minute. Currently I'm trying to snag the "you can't handle the truth" Jack Nicholson scene from "A Few Good Men". Anyways, I bought this product, Magic DVD Ripper which worked like a charm on one older dvd, but has given me nothing but problems thereafter. So, here I am.

Is it the copy protection stopping you?
Thanks to advice from this site I`ve been able to cut subplots from films scene by scene % stitch them together.
I use DVD Shrink to cut the scenes. Just get it it`s free.
Then an editor that takes VOB`s if you want to mess with the clips & save in a different format. I use Nero Vision Express. Get the trial version & use it free for 30 days.
Try it mate, it must be easy if I can do it ;-)
