Converting Dvd Video To Avi Clips

[phatfunkjazz]

Hi,

 

I recently performed at a local music festival and discovered that someone filmed part of our show, not continuous, but short excerpts of two songs (total of about 5 minutes).

 

I'm aware of the bandwidth that videos consume; I will keep the clips to about 30 seconds each (three clips total).

 

We purchased a DVD from the videographer; now I'd like to extract some clips, converting from .vob (on the DVD disc) to .avi. I've found some shareware programs that boast of those functionalities. Being new to video stuff, does anyone have freeware suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Stefan

I just tested a shareware program, AoA DVD Ripper. It has a small footprint, works great, the audio output is adjustable (among other settings), and is pretty affordable ($25.00). I think I'll purchase it.

I'd suggest doing a google search...maybe you can find some shareware or freeware that would work for you.

I would suggest ttp://www.vcdhelp.com

I Personal would use procoder 2 the file conversion software can convert anything to anything but it does cost a bit of an amount $ 499.00 but worth it

And easy to use.
