Is it possible

[irishgrl]

to make movie clips from DVD's? Ive been wanting to capture bits and pieces of certain DVD's for some time and dont know how to go about it. I have a Mac, and I thought maybe I could somehow use iMovie to do this but the only tips Ive found have been for video film capture???

anybody? how do all those YouTube videos get made?

I think you can get some as freeware. With that, you can rip data files from your DVDs--Windows Media, mpeg, I think even Quicktime files.

Bueller? Once you rip data video files, it's apparently very easy to register at YouTube & upload your video.

Check out DVD Extractor v0.9 BETA:

Thanks David. the software you suggested? its now unavailable to anyone in the US after 1/1/06. If you've already got it, thank your lucky stars. I did however find something called MacTheRipper which is freeware....and a few articles that explain the process. I guess Ive got some homework to do!

btw: is Bueller a euphemism for "dork?" or comparable insult type name? Im not as culture savvy as some of you, so please educate me! I asked my question previously in all sincerity, and didnt realize I was being stupid or anything???
