How to rip a DVD, then editing it (cut&paste)

[Stapel]

I got myself a DVD of a TV-program where I was interviewed.

1. I'd like to rip it into MPEG.
2. I'd like to cut two parts out of it.

Both are things I don't know anything about. Any help? tips?

is it a commercial dvd (one you can buy in the store) or is it a dvd somebody burned with his DVD-Recorder directly from TV?

if it's a commercial dvd, it's propably protected by CSS. While it's no problem to work around that protection, it's not legal anymore in the EU (even if you do own the DVD and want to rip it for presonal use...). It's not hard to do, but since it's borderline legal even outside the EU I won't name it here

if it's burnt by some home DVD-Recorder it should be pretty easy, since DVD-Video stores the data already in Mpeg2-format. I'll have to check at home first to see which files to extract exactly. There's a lot of tools available that do exactly do that, but I can't name them since, most of them do "other" stuff as well

for the editing i'd suggest you have a look at VirtualDub which is free, and allows to easily edit mpeg-files. It's of course not as powerfull as Adobe Premiere, for example, but it's free

I got the DVD right from the TV-program producer. It's not a commercial DVD. They have simply send me this copy for free, when I asked for it. I don't really know whether it has CSS.

if it's unprotected FlaskMpeg can help you convert the vob-files (the ones you have on your dvd under VIDEO_TS into mpegs
