I am trying to take a DVD and copy some movie clips off of it. How do I do that and what software do I need? This is needed as soon as possible. It is an emergency that I get this done.
any answers to this? I'm wondering the same thing... I need to extract a clip from a dvd. DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypter are what I'm guessing I should use. But some additional directions on how to rip only a clip would be appreciated. Would I need to rip a whole chapter and then edit the ripped file to only include the scene I want?
Got the clip ripped, thanks for the redirect to the guides. Any advice on how to then convert that into an AVI file for import into video editing software (premiere, ulead, etc...) Thanks!
Well, I think you did allright using DVD2AVI. Getting seperate video and audio is just what you must expect. However, using DVD2AVI is best used with Avisynth, which is a program that uses scriptfiles, and is a bit difficult to understand at first (you see no .exe or that kind of programfiles, but you have to use scriptfiles... DVD2AVI forms a .d2v file which is a <i>project</i> file, the .AVI which you see at first is a socalled pseudo-AVI. With avisynth you can process these .d2v files. The best solution regarding the seperate audio and AVI (.wav and .avi) is importing them both seperate to yor application e.a Premiere (or, like I did, Pinnacle's Edition). Notice the delay which is written in the filename of the audio: these msec's value's you can use to synchronise the audio and video on the timeline, for example by putting some empty frames either in front (if the delay is positive) or on the back (if the delay is negative) of your videoclip (with 25 frames per second, one frame is about 40 msec).
