I'm kind of new, but learning a lot quickly. What I would like to do is rip a DVD into an avi file that I can use in an editor. I currently use Pinnacle Studio 8 because it came freem with the camcorder.
All of the DVD ripping guides I've seen tend to be geared towards ripping a DVD to an mpeg2 or mpeg4 DIVX/XVID file for burning back to a DVD or SVCD. I've managed to do this just fine, but Pinnacle can't handle a XVID file for editing.
My work around has been to use a Canopus ADVC100 to capture the analog signal into Pinnacle in the .avi "DV" format, which I can then edit. This works, but I'm losing quality.
My questions are thus:
Is there a good program to rip a DVD into a non mpeg4 .avi file format? Or to rip into mpeg2 (which is better than mpeg 4 at full quality, isn't it?) and then convert that file to an .avi?
Are some editors good for editing mpeg2 or mpeg4 files? I've read the mpeg is not good for editing due to the way the frames are laid out, that DV is the best for editing at the single frame level.

What I want to do is take a movie and make my own trailer and make a favorite scenes compilation, not "backup" the entire DVD.

Thanks
