how to make small clips from DVD

[Séamus]

I'm sure this is a thing that a lot of people want to do or are doing.
Which is taking some scenes from a DVD and making their own little movie with it

In my case what I want to do is rip some scenes from a DVD and then edit them with Premiere
From there on I'll find my way

What I'm not sure about is the best way to rip the scenes and feed them to Premiere

What I've done once is to extract a chapter with DVD Decrypter and feed it to premiere with an AVSPlugin

I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about this, do I need to account for any audio delays etc ?
Just looking for the best way to do this

Thx,
Seamus

I'm on track, I've been learning more about Avisynth etc

I'll be making my own little tutorial on how I did this pretty soon...

One thing you may want to add is frame rate adjustment. Premiere (6.0 and 6.5 at least, I dont have pro so not sure there.) Can not edit in a 23.97fps time base. So if you are importing a source that is NTSC FILM (23.97 progressive frames/second) you will be editing and exporting in a slightly different time base. To correct this you can add a line in your avisynth script AssumeFPS(24). Also Premiere can work ok with avisynth served imports, but I have found it eaiser to load the avisynth script into VirtualDub and clip out only the parts I want and save them as an avi using huffyuv or a similer lossless codec. (NOT Divx or XviD those do not play nice with Premiere.) Then I import the avis into Premiere. Once you have the avis saved you can delete the vobs from your system to free up some space for editing. Now if you want the sound from the clip with them you will notice it is slightly out of sync. No Problem! You can use BeSweet and BeSweet GUI to adjust the audio so it will match the video. When you are all finished with the project, you can then export the file to disk using the codec of your choice, and again use Avisynth, BeSweet, and VDub to adjust the frame rate back to the original 23.97fps.

Thx for addition, since I hardly ever work with NTSC
