How do you copy DVD's to your computer so you can then edit them to make highlight dvds ect?

Do you need to download any software?

Xilisoft DVD Ripper.

You can rip the movie into any video format (WMV, AVI etc) and then edit it at will in a video editing program.

DVD Decrypter to rip the video as one large, continuous file.

Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD to chop/cut the footage without re-encoding it (i.e. no quality loss).

DVD Decrypter is free. MPEG Video Wizard DVD isn't, but you get a 30 day trial when you download it. If it's a one-off project, it'll be ideal for what you want.

DVD Decrypter can either rip all video files or the whole disc as an ISO image.
You can rip, then use DVD2One to shrink down for a single layer DVD burn.

True, but I think he's asking for a program that will allow him to edit the footage after extraction. Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD will allow him to edit the footage (it's frame accurate and you can even replace the audio) without needing to re-encode it.
