Help Me Catch a Thief!!

Question

I am trying to import video from a DVD from a security camera system. We experienced a robbery and we need to check out the footage to determine who the People are. So heres my situation:
I have been provided with a DVD with the robbery footage.
If I open it in DVD player it works fine but I need a way to be able to export screen shots.I tried doing a export in Toast 7 to.dv but it was unsucessfull.
Final Cut will bring in the VOB file - but it is only 20 seconds of the 20 minutes of video. Where is the other 20 minutes? How can I view them.?
The only other VOB is just the menu.
The .BUP and the .IFO are not able to be opened with final cut.
So I have 2 requests:
1. i need a way to view the entire video in final cut.
2. Once it is there is there someway that i can get it to automatically create stills from a selected area of the clips?
( I can always try to do screen shots from the DVD player, but it will certainly be more painful.

Answer 1

You could also get an analog to digital converter. Plug a dvd player into this and you can send it via firewire to your computer. In your log and capture settings, set the device control to "non-controllable device" and you can capture all of the video just like you would any other clip.
To make stills just find the frame you want to make a still of and go to File>export. Under format select still image. You can select what type of still to save it as under the options tab.
