Sampling from a DVD

[MoRpH]

Hey folks jsut wondering if anyone knows of any software that can sample small bits from a DVD eg. say I jsut want a 2 sec clip from a film or something (fair use :-p ) without ripping the whole movie?

If you got a matrox, that's easy : zoom mode, plug the video output to the capture card, run virtual dub , launch your dvd and you're done ! (i guess)

nah I could do it that way with the TV of my laptop and my DV camera (then capture back via firewire) I want something that jsut does it all in the laptop/software.

smartripper will letyou rip by chapter and then you can use the vfpi codec and dvd2avi to create an avi of just the sample you want.

My RT Mac removes Macrovision protection. Nice feature.

hehehe nice smileys. Holly I do and already have there are jsut a few small things I want for the particular theme night..... and I dont have a chance in hell @ recreating some of these scenes

virtualdub mpeg-2 edition can handle *.vob files

just open them directly from dvd [or rip needed chapters previously], cut needed pieces and save them as avi - for me, the fastest and easiest way of working with dvd stuff
