Software suggestion
 

I had a trial package before that could read DVD vid files and I could clip sections and write them to a movie file.

I thought it was called DVD2AVI but the trial version of that I downloaded recently didnt have the editing feature.
It only allowed a rip of the whole dvd vid file.

Anyone have a suggestion?

virtualdub will convert vob file (DVD) and you can search through the movie to select parts you want.

WinAVI is a nice program for all your video converting needs as well

Thanks
 

Virtual Dub was what I was looking for...but you need to MPEG2 version
