I have QT Pro 6.1 and I would like to save a selection of the Fellowship of the Ring Trailer so that when I launch the movie only that section plays. I can set it all up with the selection but when I quit it says the movie doesn't allow me to save. Is there a way of getting around this?

I own the DVD so I guess an alternative would be that I could grab the bit I want from that. However I don't know how to capture part of DVD to a Quicktime movie - What do I need to do that ?

There are copyright issues here of course but I am using this for educational purposes so I was planning to assume this was all OK.

Thanks - Michael

some pro quicktime movies have the copy-protection setting enabled, and if that's the case there's no way around it. You can do a screen-capture, but that will be awful quality.

for the DVD, you can do a screen capture from VLC, but once again, awful quality. To do it digitally, you have to decrypt (0SEx/DVDBackup/Extractor/DVDExtractor), decode (DiVA/MM2D/MM2C/MPEG2DecX/ffmpeg/MEncoder), edit and save (QTPro). If you have to learn it all just for this, it's probably not worth your time. Unless your time is cheap

Wow - sounds complicated. Thanks for the reply.

I may be missing something, but can you not select the portion you want and cut/paste it into a new movie?

Thats all greyed out. I assume its blocked in the same way a save is.

Thanks but I really would like to capture
and move to another Quicktime movie a
few seconds of play. I assume Snapz just
takes a screen shot.

Actually it seems I can capture Movies
with SnapzPro if its the with Movie Capture
version. I'll give it a try.
