new to the comm- not sure if this is allowed, so if it is not, please delete.
I've just started making fan music videos with Windows Movie Maker, but the majority of the clips I used are ones I downloaded from the web, so they are already on my computer in .AVI format. Trouble is, now I've got into a lot of new fandoms recently and most of the things I want to make vids of- I already have them on DVD, but I don't know how to rip them and covert them to a suitable format to work with in Movie Maker, so I have to wait for days and weeks for files to finish downloading on Bitcomet just so I can use them in WMM even though I already have them on DVD.
This is probably a really basic question, but what programs are there (and which ones are recommended) to use? Please note that I am only a high school student, and I can't pay to purchase programs. If anybody knows where I can download dvd ripper programs for free, great, otherwise any names and i'll try and beg and plead to my parents to get me the hard copy for a birthday or something. I've heard of programs like Xilisoft and Amigo DVD Ripper, but even though I tried to download the free trial versions they all have 30 second clip limits or something like that. I'm pretty proud of the work I put into vidding, and I'm just fed up of having to wait and wait for files to finish downloading before I can get started, by which time my muse for vidding has gone up and out of the window. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
