Brief, practical plan to extract a short clip from a DVD (adds to ’s direction and addresses ’s request).

Legal note: breaking DVD copy‑protection is governed by the DMCA’s anti‑circumvention rules and the Librarian of Congress issues narrow, time‑limited exemptions; checking the current rulemaking is prudent before using tools that remove protections. (copyright.gov)

Recommended workflow (fast, reliable):

  1. Make a high‑quality extract of the disc into a container that preserves tracks and chapters (keep the original audio and subtitles). MakeMKV is commonly used for that purpose. (makemkv.com)
  2. If the extracted file needs to be edited or moved into an NLE-friendly format, transcode/remux to an editing container or codec (MP4/H.264 for small files, or an intermediate like ProRes/DNx for heavy editing). HandBrake is a well‑known open, free transcoder for this step. (handbrake.fr)
  3. Extract the exact clip with a lossless cutter or a fast remux operation so quality is preserved; GUI tools such as LosslessCut (or Avidemux for quick jobs) make this easy. Use a full editor only if re-encoding or complex edits are required. ()

Fast, lossless trim example (command line):

ffmpeg -ss 00:01:23 -to 00:01:45 -i input.mkv -c copy clip.mkv

Note: stream copy trims only at keyframes; for frame‑accurate cuts the segment often needs re‑encoding (or a two‑step remux+reencode), and care must be taken to preserve audio sync. See FFmpeg documentation for seek/copy behavior and examples. (ffmpeg.org)

Practical tips: keep a lossless extract as a master, note exact timecodes before cutting, check which audio/subtitle track is active, and export the final clip with the codec and bitrate appropriate for the target device or upload. This refines ’s idea by giving safe, repeatable steps for extracting only the desired portion.

I dont know about copying part of a movie, but I know most of the available video converter tools allow conversion to avi or other formats from DVDs, thus saved on your harddisk. As for manipulating the converted video, some tools are available, like corel video studio, or Kate's video cutter (can google for more). You can also rip the dvd using a dvd ripper or decrypter tool, and from there work with the .vob files if available, or the ifo file for the whole movie (there usually 2 ifo files present, use the second one, which is like VTS_01_0.IFO)
