DVD - need to extract a peace of video

[dpavlov]

Hello to everyone. Need help. I need to make a present for my son birthday. I would like to make a short movie with a lot of 10 to 20 seconds old video peaces, combine in one DVD (or VCR).
I have about 10 home video DVD's. What I need to do - extract from all of them small peaces and put on one DVD. I spent a lot of time trying to find tool, allowed me to extract just a small peace of video from DVD but no success. A lot of programs can make a copy(backup) of my DVD to MPEG format and then I can extract video very easy. But... It will take a lot of time to convert all my DVD's I need to use.
PLEASE, help if somebody knows any tool I can use - just use DVD as a source and extract small peace of video I need. Windows XP OS.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Dvd shrink will. I forgot exactly how but you go and select the chapter you want but you can also define how much to rip. This will copy the vob to a video_ts folder. But you can edit that with other programs. Tmpgenc Dvd Author is one that reads .vob files. Of course you can use other programs to convert .vob to .mpg.

Thanks for the help.
If I made my on DVD from MPEG-2 file - how many chapters I will have on my DVD?
It will save in .VOB format. So no tool to save it with format (avi, mpeg, so on) to be able to edit it without conversion from .vob?
Thanks again.
