I want to take clips from DVD's to build up a libary of shots I like.

I have been using Handbrake, which is cool, but it has to rip the whole DVD.

Is there a dvd ripper where you can set an in and out time so I can just take the clip I want rather than waiting hours for Handbrake to rip the whole DVD.

Also whats the best way to get from mpeg4 to a format Final Cut Pro Can handle native, DV Pal in my case, with minimum loss of quality.

I am new to macs so please be gentle with me.

try "cinematize 2". It can rip clips from "unprotected" (have to use MacTheRipper to copy DVD to HDD) DVDs in full quality DV, mpeg2 stream and save separate audio and video files

I think it costs 20€
