[ale] [OT] Video editing advice?

[m-aaron-r]

I do this kind of movie clipping for my life partner all the
time as she frequently uses examples from films in her
class and professional presentations -- They're central
to her scholarly work and her book "Super Heroes and
Greek Tragedy: Comparing Cultural Icons".

Unfortunately I do it all on Mac, so let me know if you
have access to an OSeX machine and I'll fill you
in on the process off list.  If you go from the DVD there
will be Destructive Restriction Mechanisms to deal
with.
