If you want to make a music video, you'll need a video camera.

I think she means making a music video out of existing DVDs. Like the tribute ones people make on youtube.

You'll need a DVD writer and a program to extract the video (and sound if you want) files from the DVD of your choice.

Step by step DVD ripping:

Place DVD in your DVD drive
Open DVD decrypter
Set DVD decrypter to IFO mode
Rip the .VOB files from the DVDs
Open DGIndex
Load all of your VOB files into it
Preview your project file
Note down the settings it gives you
Save your project (it's a d2v file]
There are 2 ways to go from here
Method 1
Open the .avs file that is in the place you put the .d2v file in VirtualDubMod
Apply the avisynth filters you need using the script editor, then press F5 to see how they look and save it
Choose which parts of the footage you want to use using the Home and End keys to select
Save the clips you want as either HuffYUV or Lagarith (they will be very big)
Import the finished clips into Windows Movie Maker.


Method 2

Use VFAPI to make an avi wrapper for the .avs file
Import this fake avi into Windows Movie Maker


Method 1 is the only one I've personally tested but method 2 should work in theory. Avs files are just tricky to work with because they take a lot of processing power.

How much RAM have you got?

You can PM me if you need more explaining.
