[olug] Creating clips from DVD

[Lane Roberts]

Here's the objective:
 I'm trying to get a compilation of about 5 minutes of clips from a
dvd spliced together onto a dvd that will pause between each clip(its
for a presentation).

I've never really done anything with video before, so this is a
learning experience, but does anyone have any pointers or (better yet)
a direct guide?
Google has been somewhat helpful, but everything I've found so far is
about going directly to AVI, and I don't need to do that.
Thanks
Lane
