I have a presentation on Wednesday and want to show a clip from a DVD. The problem is, the clip is in the middle of two chapters and I don't want to bother fast-forwarding during my presentation to get there. Is there a program that allows me to copy the clip from video from a DVD into an AVI file?

I've played around with some versions of that only copy the whole thing into an AVI file and that doesn't do me any good. I've also seen versions that have a giant watermark in the middle, which is also no good. I think using an AVI file would be the best because then I can embed it into my Powerpoint and launch it from there. I suppose an alternative would be to use the clunky VCR to record the TV while I play the DVD clip, but that would be a last resort type thing.
