Snippets of movies

Sorry for the sort of off topic thread, but I have a work project and I knew the collective would be able to help.

I'm doing a PowerPoint presentation and I wanted to include short (30 second) snippets of various movies to highlight my points and provide comedic relief. How do I save 30 second snippets of movies from a DVD? I've used FairUse to rip whole dvds to my ppc, but that takes multiple hours and I have at least 4 movies that I want to capture bites from.

TIA

I am doing almost exactly the same as what you're asking about right now, and for the same purpose. However, I'm not taking clips from DVDs, but from videotapes. Either way, it's a time-consuming process, but I believe the following should work for you:

1. Use Fairuse to convert the DVD to Divx.
2. Convert Divx to WMV using Windows Media Encoder.
3. Windows Movie Maker to extract the clips you want.

That's basically what I've been doing (except I converted the videos to MPEG2). Perhaps someone else might have a better solution. :)

If they are popular movie parts, you can probably find them on yahoo video or somewhere on the net. Or maybe somebody else will tell you haow to rip the dvd that way.
