Hi - I own a movie on DVD from which I'd like to extract a few scenes to show during a powerpoint presentation I have to give. So basically I'd like to save a few scenes into individual video files (mpeg, avi, whatever) that I can easily access during my presentation. Can someone give me some pointers on how to do this? I've already ripped my movie onto my hard drive using DVD Decrypter, but from there I have no bright ideas. I don't have any pricey video editing software. I do have DVD Shrink and am familiar with it, if that helps. Thanks in advance.
You could use the 'Re-author' mode of DVD Shrink to save out clips. You have the option of saving out each clip as a separate title (in a separate folder) or a group of clips as a group of titles in the same folder. Each small VOB could be renamed with the .mpg extension - but probably better to run each title through Vob2Mpg to ensure that the format is compliant. Another option is to use DVD Shrink to open the ripped folder and resave with no file splitting (one giant VOB) and open that vob in Mpeg2Cut and select each clip and save as .mpg files. Again, you might let DVD Shrink reauthor each clip to a separate folder and use AGK to convert each title to avi - you could batch all of them at once.
