Vista Basic spa.
I have a dvd/cd rw.
Although software did come with the drive I don't have it installed at this
time
because I'm not sure if it has the features I require.
The more I look to the internet to try to find out what software I need the
worse my
headache gets.
I'll list the things I want to accomplish and hopefully someone here can
point me in the right direction.

I'm not sure of some of the terminology either but I'll attempt to explain
the best I can

1) I want to be able play regular DVDs on my commuter.
2) While playing the dvd I want to be able to pause and clip the still and
save it as a jpg.
3) I want to be able to rip a portion of the DVD and save it to a video file
(mpeg, avi...)
4) Then I'd like to be able to rip 5 to 20 seconds of AUDIO of the ripped
video (or from the original DVD if that's possible) and save it as a wav
file.
5) Create DVDs playable on my DVD player from several video file formats
like one can do with Windows DVD Maker but isn't included in Vista Basic.

I would prefer a suite with all these feature if possible.

Any help will be appreciated,
James
