Ouch... still, I look at wakeboarding as a less painful version of snowboarding

Does anyone know how i get a short wakeboarding clip off a DVD we took and onto my computer?

I can play it on the computer, but cant find a way to take the 20 seconds i want and save it.

You need a video capture program. Windows Movie Maker comes bundled with XP I think (well its on my PC and I haven't paid for it!), look in Start>Programs>Accessories. Otherwise I guess there would be a freeware one if you Google for video capture.

ive tried using Camtasia recorder to 'video the video' but when i play it back it just shows as a black screen.
I get the same thing if i try and screenshot the video. Any idea's?

probably something to do with video codecs mate, have a play with windows movie maker (in xp) if you can, grab the selection of frames you want and cut the rest - save as an avi or mpeg, with an intel indeo or suitable codec for others with ms windows on their PC to playback with getting playback problems

had my 1st go last night of the back my boat, messed it up a few times then the binding broke!

its only rubber! - ended up water skiing instead - my mate is a bit good and was on a mono ski - had to give it full whack to get him out the water, the prop was ventilating quite a bit (is this normal) but when it gripped, pulled him up very nicely!

no pics Im afraid, we were all to occupied

need a cheap wakeboard of my own! - anyone wanna sell me one?!?!

slimtim · 02 September 2005, 21:57

Did you ever manage to get the video off of your dvd

If not here is how to do it

1. Firstly it depends on whether your dvd is premastered original film or one you have produced from home movies. The main difference being that original premastered dvds are encrypted which adds an extra step to the process.

2. If it is an encrypted (premastered dvd) then im affraid you are going to have to decrypt it first before you can get at any of the video. If it is a home made dvd then you can skip to step 4.

3. To decrypt the dvd you are going to need a decrypting program and a few GB of disk space on your hard drive (depending on the size of the dvd). My suggestion for a dvd decrypting program is dvd decrypter which can be downloaded here http://www.afterdawn.com/software/da...oftware_id=298 it is Freeware - WARNING if this is a premastered dvd it is more than likely subject to copyright so be careful what you are doing with it - if you are unsure contact the original materials producer.

4. If you had a home produced movie you would simply be able to copy the .VOB files out of the VIDEO_TS folder of the dvd or if it was encrypted you will now have some decrypted .VOB files from step 4 - either way it is these .VOB files that contain the video so they now need converting to a more user friendly format.

5. I would suggest a piece of software called Flask MPG to do this convertion - their web page can be found at http://flaskmpeg.sourceforge.net/?inc=home and this software is Freeware. Using Flask MPG you can select the small piece of footage that you want and mark a start and stop point then extract the video in either mpg or avi formats.

I hope this helps I have not attempted to go into exactly how you use dvd decrypter or flask mpg but their is plenty of resource for this on the WWW so if you are struggling with it then get googling...

Nice post Roy, thanks for the info

simmons0 · 04 September 2005, 13:42

you said in your original post you only wanted a 20 second clip - that should take no longer than a couple of minutes to convert.

What software are you using - i suggest Flask MPG as it lets you choose the specific bit you want - it sounds like you are trying to convert the whole dvd

simmons0 · 04 September 2005, 13:50

I want the whole dvd on my computer anyway, so ill rip it all and then take out the clip...

I'm crap, my 10yo son is mustard!! He learnt on a pole in Greece. Much easier than a deep water start. He does jumps and 180's now. He has a good DVD that takes you from basic starts through to tricks. A good strong A frame for a high pull is a huge help. Goog luck.
