How to Import DVD into Windows Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker is a totally free program that comes with Windows for creating and editing home videos. You can import videos from your digital camera into Windows Movie Maker and you can automatically import your video directly from a camcorder also! But if you are fond of a clip from a DVD movie and want to add it to the slideshow you are making with your Windows Movie Maker, you may get into the trouble that the DVD format is incompatible with Windows Movie Maker. There isn’t a way to directly import a DVD into Windows Movie Maker without a third party program, I'd recommend using Wondershare DVD Ripper to perform the DVD ripping process.
