I wanna rip only certain parts of my DVD to my pearl but the mplayer doesn't do that. I have a program that can cut video files but it doesn't take the avi files. Does anybody know of some good freeware that will rip a whole DVD into like a mpeg or wmv? That way I can then cut the file in my program and then use the mplayer to convert that split file into the pearl avi format. Thanks.
