New to video editing...question?

[ebm62980]

Im setting up some video editing software at my work so Ill be able to take clips from movies (vhs, dvd) and put them in powerpoint presentations.

I bought ATI TV WONDER USB 2.0 (TV Tuner), and am able to use it to get clips from vhs but when I use it to get clips from a dvd (using a dvd/vcr combo player) the DVD's just skip a bunch.

My real question though is, we have premiere 6.01 at work, would I be able to use premiere and capture and record a clip from a DVD in my Computers DVD-ROM drive or do I have to get a video capture device? Im assuming the ATI TV WONDER USB 2.0 is not a video capture device.

Thanks any helpis greatly appreciated.

Im sorry but the FAQ didnt really answer my questions, at least not clearly. Im looking for a more definate (yes or no) type answer for my questions:

1. Will my ATI TV WONDER USB 2.0 be able to capture video from a DVD being played on a sony DVD/VHS combo? It doesnt say it's only for analog anywhere on the box. Here is the product in question.

2. If I only have Premiere 6.1 and a DVD-ROM on my computer (no capture device), is it possible to capture video from the DVD to be used for editing in Premiere?

Thanks

You don't have to capture a DVD. You rip the contents (i.e copy the VOB files) to your harddrive.

I tried copy over the VOB files from the DVD, but I get an error. Im assuming they are copyright protected?

Is it against copyright to use a clip from a retail movie DVD (lets say "remember the titans") and put it in a powerpoint for a class?

And lets I want to get a clip from a retail, copyrighted DVD movie in a DVD player would I need a DV capture device to do that?

Lets say you searched in google for "dvddecryter"
