I've got a DVD-R of some home videos my Dad sent me. I'd like to rip a few minutes off to make a self-contained movie I can email and upload to YouTube. What is the best way to do this quickly without having to rip the entire 1.5 hour DVD?
Got a tip for us?

Hi,
I use MPEG streamclip. Works very good. You can shuttle the whole dvd and set an in- and outpoint. Convert it to almost anything.
MPEG Streamclip is free, you only need the quicktime pro player (only the player, not the whole pro)
Good luck

I've got Quicktime Pro player, but when trying to use Mpeg streamclip I keep getting a message telling me I need the MPEG-2 add on? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the tip about streamclip, I had the same issues a few months back and couldn't find a simple solution.
Buying the MPEG2 add on is an option. It's only $20 , right? You spend the time it takes to earn that reading the mac news forums every night.
Look inside the Video folder of the DVD and see if there are several VOB files there. Locate the one you want and then just copy that file to the HD, then you can use MPEG StreamClip to choose the bit you want.

Not that - I just didn't know about the QT add-on or Streamclip. $20 is fine.
Oops! Sorry, RedTomato, I was actually intending to respond to the original poster. I don't know why I quoted you. Thanks for not flaming me.
