i assume ur using a windows OS. open windows movie maker found under start > programs > accessories. from there browse to ur main movie file and select it to open. depending on the size, it may take a bit of time for it to fully load up. as it loads it will create multiple automatic clips. just browse to the scene u want and drag and drop the scenes to the bottom. there is a preview window to the side so u can use that to check ur output. once happy with it, go the tasks and choose to save it with whatever settings and size u wish.

3/25/2006 11:14:07 PM

what kind of movie file is it?

3/25/2006 11:15:47 PM

i have no idea what that file is. where did u get the file from?

3/25/2006 11:19:02 PM

from the DVD

3/25/2006 11:20:42 PM

oooooo. what dvd is it? cause u might be able to search the net (limewire or bittorrent) for that exact scene in a different format. otherwise u wont be able to use movie maker. i thought it was gonna be like an .avi or .mpg file which WMM would be perfect for.

You have many options.

THe easiest I think would be to just play the scenes and use a video-screen-capture app to save the video.

Otherwise, I am pretty sure you can use VLC (search on Google for it) to dump the video out as an MPEG-1 file or something as it plays back.

It's a bunch of clips from a few DVDs.

I'm so lost now, anyone wanna walk me through what to do?

3/25/2006 11:38:07 PM

are you sure about the file type?
when you click the files do they open with windows media player?

how many clips do you have to get? And how long is each clip?

Lets you play the video back, and record it to an editable/presentation software friendly format.

^ that doesn't actually allow me to record the DVD playing.. it's all just black background.

Try playing it with VLC:

Or search online on how to take screen captures of a DVD (basically, it involves turning off hardware decoding).

you don't want to play videos in powerpoint

are the DVDs encrypted or protected? big-label hollywood stuff or personal home videos?

1. use smartripper to dump dvd -> mpeg
2. use adobe premier to crop out the scene you want
3. (optionally) use flask mpeg to compress it so it is not a massive file
