I have a DVD that was made of a speech w/another speech on the same DVD.

Question for the IT guys.

Is there a way to separate the two different speeches so I can grab one to put on another DVD, OR put it on media player to e-mail out? Would rather put it on DVD though.

Note: When the DVD starts U can select from either speech U want to view.

Was it store bought or recorded by some one?

You will need a DVDripper app to get the files out. If they are defferent selections in the menu then there will be 2 different sets of files for each speech.

If it is not copy protected then Vista can extract the files using one of it's DVD app or video apps. I have look when I get home

Recording made by someone. NOT store bought.

Load windows explorer, look at the files on the DVD, usually the larger size is the speech, click on that file to see if it will play, if it does copy the file somewhere to the hardrive and burn it to another dvd.

*.VOB are the file extension.

If there one for each speech you can do that but sometimes they breake them up in chapters and have multiple *.VOB files pers movie/video

That doesn't mean it's not copy-protected. Any serious author of DVDs can copy-protect his work. I work on a Mac so I don't know how it is with Windows, but your software should tell you if the disc is protected, region-specific, bah, blah... or not before you do a thing. Just a heads-up.

Thanks guys, I'll wait for the instructions.

Not copy protected, our secretary recorded it in house. Can use policy.

You can copy out the VOB files as Jim said and burn it into another DVD using DVD burning software that should already be in your LapTop.
If you can take a screen shot of the files inside your DVD and I should be able to tell you which files to grab.

[JeepNWilly]

your DVD will probably have the stucture below:
Assuming that the DVD drive is in the D letter.
D:\AUDIO_TS ------> this folder you can ignore
\VIDEO_TS\ lots of files possibly with the VOB and IFO extensions


See image below of a DVD I have burned with Roxio DVD Creator

Inside the VIDEO_TS folder there are a few files but the only one I care about is the larges one VTS_01_1.VOB as this has my video the other larger file VTS_02_0.VOB is the actual DVD Menu.

In your case you may have 2 files with the specches and one Menu file.

Get me a screenshot and I will let you know what file to copy out to your Laptop.

Sweet, I just recieved the dvd tonight & I will go over it & look @ what I need. I will get back w/you.

Thank you all so much for your time/help on MY pc questions.

OK the DVD I recieved was a single so no division was needed. I do have some that require division & will unpack them soon.

I was told this program works for recording as well.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net ---> some men in the brotherhood use this for their radio program.

They also use fast edit as well.

DVD SHRINK WILL ALLOW YOU TO DESELECT DIFFERENT VIDIO AND SOUND FILES THEN REBURN AT DIFFERENT COMPRESION RATIOS TO ALLOW ANY SIZE FIT ON A 4.7G DVD
