converting DVD to AVI, MPG etc..: HELP: S.O.S.: HELP

[boston]

The free trial programs were not hard to find, but after trying about 7 or 8 , none worked, want to throw the computer out the window, is their a common mistake I am making, or are these programs really that hard to use???

anyone know of a good program??
any tips to using it???

oh, and my DVD is the Japanese bonus Hollywood Rose DVD, is the fact that it is an import messing me up ??

First of all, downgrading a dvd file to avi or mpg is frowned upon (by me), so please just use the .vob file that it should already be in

vob files are unusable in any of the programs I currently use

You can use VOBs with any software DVD players (there are a few. I personally use PowerDVD but others use WinDVD and such).

I wanted to edit some of the footage, put the music back in the couple minutes of performance video footage it shows during the interview w/ Chris webber

Use the winavi 6.2. It can be found in torrent sites like torrentspy.com

You can always use the Adobe Premiere too, but it's way too heavy.

WinAVI is best. You can convert any format to any format...
