newbie-convert dvd to web friendly format

I am a total newbie. I have a dvd which from what I have read is cracked. It’s a home movie. On the dvd there is a video folder with 2 bup files, 2 ifo files and 3 vob files. There is a separate audio folder with nothing in it even though the video has audio.

What I would like to do is capture a few short sequences of this video and convert it to some format I can put on the web (or import in flash).

This is just for a little hobby site so I don’t want to buy any expensive software.

I am hoping that since the dvd is cracked, this won’t be too complicated.

Any help appreciated.

Ooops - meant “ripped”. Sorry. I told you I am a newbie

I should also mention that I am on a windows box (XP)

Thanks

At that point I’d probably use FlaskMPEG.

If you need to do further editing use virtualdub (for avi) or tmpgenc (for mpeg)
