    Hi!

    I'm working with a photoshow (in Proshow Gold) and want to include a short sequence (ca 2 min) from a DVD (a home video to which I have legal rights). In order to add the video to ProShow I got to have only the short sequence (not the whole video) and convert it to another format (not VOB-files). Trimming can be done in ProShow Gold

    Although having some experience with RipIt4Me (DVDShrink and DVD Decrypter) for ripping DVDs as well as using VLC for playing media files I have no experience whatsoever (i.e. newbie) re how to extract parts from a DVD to include in my photoshow. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

    Win XP Pro, Quad Q9300 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GB, GeForce 8500 GT, 320 GB + 500 GB

    You can use DVDShrink to extract part of DVD. Use Re Author mode to cut it out.
    It will export VOB file, but if you rename that to .mpg it will play.
    Not sure what you need for import into ProShow, but you can go from here.

    Thanks Suba and Peshtigo!

    Applying your advice I made it!

    Now, using DVDShrinks "Re Author" mode I was able to cut out the part that interested me, then "Backup" to a VOB file, renaming that file to a .mpg file, converting the .mpg file to a .wmv file (since ProShow Gold didn´t accept the .mpg file). That´s it!

    Thanks again!
