Making a video clip
 

Is there a way I can capture about 4 minutes from a DVD and make an mpg or mov (etc) file. The clip I have in mind is the first lap of the movie "LeMans".

I forget where to download it, but I use Yade (yet another disk extractor) to do that, then ffmpegX puts it all together as a divx or whatever. Basically, Yade lets you select which chapter you want, then extract it as vob or separate streams.

First you pick up a couple of drunk college chicks.....

Do you have any quality requirements? It is possible that MGI videowave works for this but I think their would be a problem with the DVD encoding.
