To sum it up :
1 - you rip the DVD with Smartripper, then you get vobs on your hard drive
2 - an easy way, though not the one recommended is A&E's guide, is to compress the vobs into avi (for example HuffYUV, you'll need lots of space) with any application that can do that (GordianKnot, DVD2AVi...)
3- you can open these avi files with your Editing sofware (example : Premiere)
Personally, instead of the 2nd step, I do :
2a - open the vobs with DVD2AVi and save a .d2v project
2b - write an avisynth file
2c - open the avisynth file with virtual dub, select the clips, and export them in (avi) HuffYUV.
Could you tell which one of these steps is a problem for you ?
