I have some performances on bhangra competition dvd's that I would like to cut out and put on my computer. How do I go about doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks karan, I will give that a try.

what you need to do is

1- rip the DVD using some sort of software (i.e dvdcopyer, dvdripper)

2- use the .wmv file and open it in either adobe premier (if you have it) or simply windows movie maker will work.
3- Select the part you want to save...split that part from the entire clip by simply right clicking and "Split at cursor" (just make sure you have put the cursor the correct frame.
4- EXPORT the clip as a .wmv


if you still need help...bring the badboy over to my house and i'll do it for you! =]

umm the easiest method i've found is (works if the dvd is un-ecrypted *not protected*)

you go into the dvd and look inside at the folder usually theres a VIDEO_TS folder or somethin along those lines,
double-click on the folder and inside you should see a bunch of files. Look for files with the extension .VOB I believe and copy and paste them to your destination folder. Once you've done that just rename them to the extension .avi
simple as that.

thats exactly what i do. i dont think bhangra competitions will have encrypted dvds but i could be wrong. basically when you put the dvd in your computer, go to My Computer and right click on the DVD icon and click "Open" instead of "play." then you can view all these files, and yeah, anything ending in .VOB is what you drag to desktop or wherever.
