Rip a 30 sec DVD to AVI, Quicktime, or .mov

[mallen]

I have a TV commercial on a DVD. I need a quick way to rip it and get a file I can use for the web. I guess I need to turn it into an AVI. Then from there I can take it into Quicktime Pro and create a .mov or .flv

Any programs you recommend?

Personally I would rip the VOB to MP4 via Nero Recode (320x240, enable Quick compatibility) -- from there QT should be a quick conversion.

Thanks alot. You saved me so much time. I just tried following this long tutorial using multiple programs and piecing it back together. And it still didn't work. Nero Recode worked great in just a couple minutes!

I can't seem to make a wmv file. I need one of those too. I thought Quicktime Pro could export that for me. Any good tools to turn the Mpeg4 into a WMV?

Movie Maker in program files will do wmv.

Movie Maker will not import Quicktime or Mpeg4. I exported avi and then imported the avi into movie maker and it was terrible quality.

You dont need to convert to avi to use movie maker,just import the vob and set the right encode parameters,Ive done encodes that look great.

I used DVD Dycrypter to create the vob file. And Movie Maker will not allow me to import it. I looked in the help in Movie Maker and these are the only supported file types:
Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

rename the vob to mpg

Thanks that worked. Is there anyway to change the stage size when you output the movie to wmv?
