I'm a teacher and I use PowerPoint.  Sometimes it would nice to show 2-3 minutes of a movie without having to go through the whole process of starting a DVD.

Why not - Rip the DVD with DVD Shrink Convert it to WMV using TMPEGEnc Then edit it in Windows Movie Maker, save the file and play it in your class on Windows Media Player??

You would be amazed at what can happen in a classroom in the time it would take to switch from PowerPoint to WMP.  If I can convert the file to WMV I can actually insert it directly into PP.

Thanks for the help.
