Anyone know to rip movies or videos off a PC game?

Yeah I do it alot, mostly from my resident evil games. Heres how, insert the disc,duh. right click on the drive and choose "explore" look in folders. Folders I have found have been called "movies" or "media", "Video" alot of times the video will be in .DAT format. Launch media player, I use 6.4. Tell it to open the dat file. If its a video, it will play usually.Once you find them, copy them in DAT fromat to your hard disk. Then open them one at a time. When open in media player. Go to FILE select SAVEAS and name it"videoname.avi" of course replace videoname with what ever you want to call it.
But take note that they are sometimes very large, one clip I found on the Resident evil 3 disc was like 2 minutes and it was 40-50MB and sometime the disc or video clips are copy protected. I found this out wit one of my games. I tried to open the video and nothing but the player the runs with the game will play it.
Hope this helps.
