Video Microscopy

We just upgraded our video microscopy systems from tape to DVD. Great improvement in quality, but there is a bit of a problem. We occasionally like to capture short clips to show during talks, or as supplemental info for papers. Problem with the DVD is that there appears to be some form of copy protection which prevents us from capturing it using our video capture equipment.

To avoid this we've been looking at direct disk-to-computer capture using the computers built-in DVD drive. Problem is that most of the software out there isn't exactly orientated towards "legal activities", and tend to be orientated towards copying the whole disk.

Does anyone know of DVD ripping software which can be used to copy only a small segment of the video? If needs be we'll rip entire disks, and edit down from there. But something a little more straightforward would be nice.

Thanx

Bryan
