I've now played around quite a bit with mencoder, avidemux, acidrip and
dvdrip and have managed to rip some good quality avi files from my DVD.
The one hurdle, however, that I can't get by (but need to) is to get
these avi's encoded into a format so that the average brain dead web
viewer can simply click the video from his MSIE screen and see it play.

I guess this is precisely the point. I need these 30-sec clips to play
out of the box (on Windoze) just like the trailers you see at
moviefone.com or any of the other movie sites.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks. Making progress.
