MPEG Streamclip issues

[drowles]

Hi there. I am hoping to pull some scenes from a DVD of a hollywood movie. I've been trying to do it and it doesn't seem to want to do it.
I get the MAC colorful beach-ball of difficulty every time I try to use it to pull off video from the movie.
Any tips? Any alternative, free programs? Thanks much.

Can't advise you here.
