Batch extracting video clips from DVD to avi

[shandy1948]

I've got some home movies which are recorded on to DVDs. As I made them myself, they are not encrypted or protected in any way.

What I want to do is extract multiple short video clips (with sound) from each DVD. But I want to batch process them so that I don't have to sit in front of my PC waiting for each clip to finish before I can go on to the next one.

So, I'd like to be able to set the beginning and end point of each clip, click 'Go' and then have the whole set of clips batch processed.

I realise that one option would be to first convert the whole DVD to an avi, and then use VirtualDub to define and batch process the clips. But having to convert the whole DVD first would be very time consuming as some of the DVDs are quite long (e.g. over 2 hours) and I only want a few short clips from each one.

Any ideas?

You could use DVD Shrink to take the clips from your DVD's then queue the clips in AutoGK and let it do it's stuff.
