# google
would solve both your questions...

ripping a DVD into an MPG is unusual, usually they get ripped into AVI files - although if you're using quicktime or similar as your codec then they'll actually be in MPEG4 format or similar. ripping it to mov would probably require an updated/professional version of quicktime itself.

can you not just play the dvd back through quicktime?

# not really
i am creating a soundtrack for a scene and the sound software (protools) has a thing where you can import the movie so you can sync up sounds as you record. so really i need an mpg or a mov that it can understand. any ideas? i have been googling but there is a lot of technical guff that i don't understand, well, most of it actually. i just want to take five minutes of a film and turn it into an mpg or mov.

apart from possibly getting hold of movie editing software and using that instead

just a week or two

virtualdub's a good free basic video editor, but it's not got the options you need...

# oooh!
what about some way of capturing the dvd image? i don't need the audio, is there some way i can play the dvd and capture a moving image and save it as an mpg or something?

# well
you could potentially use something like HyperSnap to create a screen-capture movie...
