Capture video from DVD 1

[1981ster]

I've got a non-copyrighted DVD-R with video and audio on it. How can can I capture it to edit it in Premiere?

These sites have extensive guides on how to rip movies from DVD.

Warning:
1. YOU need to have a lot of time on your hands
2. You need a large hard drive

If you have a video capture card, and a DVD player that you can hook up to it, it would be faster to do it that way.

Thanks.
So I've ripped the DVD to my hard drive. But I can't find anything in your links that tells me how to convert the ripped DVD files to .avi files that Premiere can use.
Looks like I'll have to go the analog capture route.

FlaskMPEG to "recognize" the ripped files (does what the title says, turns them into mpeg files)
Virtual dub - to turn those mpeg files into AVI files (look up the instructions on DVD to XVIX/DVIX/AVI/AMV. Riphelp.com has many.

flaskmpeg can convert directly to avi
