How to add a clip from a DVD into PPT?

[Guest]

I've tried adding a clip from a DVD into PPT but when you insert from file it just goes to the video and the audio folder. Neither of which has files that I can use. I'm figuring that I have to convert the DVD video file to an Mpeg or something like that first. Can someone give a run down on how to make it work
Thank

If it's a commercial DVD, then of course it's protected by copyright and
you'll need to get permission to use it. Then you'll need to find a
"ripper", which is software that can extract and convert the clip to a video
file on your hard drive that can be inserted in PowerPoint. You can use
google.com to search for dvd ripper and you'll find lots of hits.
