    I have an amateur video, on a DVD of a show. Lots of different people singing etc. I want send one part of it to someone, i.e. I want to take one song off the DVD and make it into a separate video. How can I do that? Sorry if I am not explaining my self too well.

    It depends how it's done. There's two ways that I can think of:

    1) Use DVD Shrink, which will allow you to copy sections of a DVD, but only if the DVD was made with chapters etc.

    2) This is the hard way. If it's just one long video, what you can do is use some program to rip the whole video into and AVI file (some programs will even let you rip the exact section, by asking you for start and end points to start ripping). Then you need to edit the movie, by basically deleting everything before and after your clip. Windows Movie Maker is free to download, I think, and this'll do it for you. Once this is done, you can either pop the AVI file onto a disk for someone to view on their computer, or if you have a dvd burning program like Nero, you can just burn a new DVD using the ripped section as the source.

    I'm sure someone else here can give you a better way though.
