DVD Image to seperate AVIs?

#1 Post by mfratt » Thu Sep 07, 2006 11:10 pm

I have a DVD Image of Guns n Roses "Welcome to the Videos" broken up into four *.VOB files. VLC can play these, but I have to manually track to the position where the song I want is, and it will cut out in the middle of a song to go on to the next file. What software can I use to convert these first into AVI or MPEGS, then to cut them up into files by time index? I really dont know anything about video editing, so any help would be appreciated.
X60s 1704-69U (Core Duo 1.66LV, 1.5GB, 100GB 5400, 12.1" XGA, WWAN, 8 Cell, DVDRW in X6)
External Storage: 250GB + 500GB Porshce

T40 Project: (Planned) P-M 2GHz, 2GB, 100GB, DVDRW

Video LAN player - you can google it too.

You can look for specific instructions on how to script the program to start and stop in the middle of source video at a specific point in time. The syntax is something like

--start-time <integer> Input start time (seconds)
Input start time (seconds)
--stop-time <integer> Input stop time (seconds)
Input stop time (seconds)

So you would do something like

c:\progra~1\vlc\vlc dvd://d:@1 -start-time 100 -end-time 200

You must know the DVD chapter number (1 is usually the main movie but as always, YMMV)
