Excellent, many thanks! BTW, have been a regular reader from early days of a referral on Chris Lehman’s blog and have learned much along the way.

Here's an article on ripping the DVDs. Here's a utility which may allow you to select clips. This may be some help also. Never used any of these, personally, though, so good luck.

You wouldn’t happen to know Windows equivalents off-hand would you (am googling away right now)? I was very clumsily trying to pause a DVD in the right place just last week wishing I knew how to rip the clip I needed.

By the way I completely sympathize with these ongoing conversations about workload. I am in my second year with full time powerpoint in the classroom and quality is improving, but the amount of time I’m spending is way too much. Some ability to re-use and benefits from the learning curve, but nothing huge yet.

I love doing stuff like that. Do you know of an extractor that will work on Windows? I used to use a VCR and a program I had to do that, but nothing is out on VHS anymore, and my VCR is broken anyway. Ever since I switched fully to DVDs I haven’t been able to extract anything.

Brilliant link, Dan. Now I know which films to rent at the end of this term. Thanks!
