is there a utility i can use to rip *excerpts* from a DVD based on
watching in real-time, then moving frame by frame to where i want, and
starting the rip until i tell it to stop, and dumping that into an AVI
file?

i've used menconder but that requires putting in the start and end
time, and i'd *really* like to do this on the fly, based on visual
cues.
