Battlestar Galactica to return in, argh, October

And OT, but while you're here, computer guru: I haven't done my research yet, but do you know of any good freeware utilities for the Mac that will allow me to make clips from DVDs? I'm on Jaguar, and I already have Mac the Ripper, and Quicktime that's up to date with the DivX and Xvid codecs, but I haven't figured out how to pull stuff from DVDs and make .avi files.
