How do I record video from DVDROM on my computer directly to my computer's harddrive?

Question

I have a DVD rom slot in my computer, and I have the complete Buffy the Vampire Slayer series on DVD. : ) Well, I would really love to take clips from certain episodes to make a YouTube video. You know, those melodramatic FanVids set to music.

Is there any kind of program that will open up and play my DVD and lets me record some streaming clips I select? Like...I'm playing the DVD...and I find the clip I want...and I select Point A and Point B from where it to start and stop recording...and then it will say "Save As" and I'll be able to save that clip as a media file on my computer.

If anyone could help, that would be GREAT. Thanks!!

This DVD Ripper is the most powerful one that I have used before. It has great power to rip DVD to video of all formats. You can free download here:

Unbiased reviews and side-by-side comparisons of DVD Ripper give you enough information to research the ins and outs of a particular product.

Well first, you might want to be careful with that because the MPAA might get upset. It's not like they're gonna track you down though. Anyway, to get the files off the disc onto your hard drive, youll need some type of DVD program like "DVD Shrink" or "Nero". You can then use some type of video editing program such as "Windows Movie Maker". That one's pretty basic but it might work for you.
