star wars new hope dvd image

When I put the DVD into the computer, it just wants to play it, but I want to grab a certain scene from the movie, save it on my computer, and then edit it for fun , say use my new green screen knowledge to put myself into the the scene and run around. What hardware/software do I need to do this?
Answer
First you need a DVD ripping program. I suggest Magic DVD ripper. After you download a free trial you can save the DVD on to your computer and edit it in movie editing programs like Windows Movie Maker. Hope this helps.

Was the first Star Wars originally just called Star Wars, and not A New Hope?

Someone told me that when Star Wars was originally released in theaters, the title Episode IV: A New Hope did not appear, and it was only later, either when it was released to more theaters or later on home video, that the title Episode IV: A New Hope appeared in the opening. Is this true?
Answer
The other three who have answered so far are correct in saying that it was called just "Star Wars" when it first came out. Anything else they have said is 100 % pure BS ... all of it.
When it came out in 1977 it was originally titled just "Star Wars". After the awesome success of the movie Lucas realized that he could do more of his story. If you do a simple search of public records in the State of Calif you will find that the name was officially changed to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope on 01/01/78. There is much debate on whether or not it was ever changed while in the theaters but there is no debate on the fact that when it came out on VHS it had the episode number and new name. Episodes V & VI ALWAYS had the number and titles. I have the original trailers for the movies if you want to see the proof with your own eyes. Much easier though to go to starwars.com and watch them there.
For "Rock Firestorm" to say that there were never any plans for a sequel or prequels he shows that he knows absolutely nothing about the Star Wars Franchise ... When Lucas started there were 12 episodes.
"thirstytrick007" is WAY off on his given dates and events. The Star Wars Original Trilogy was out on VHS in the mid eighties. I know this because I got a new set of them when I graduated HS. What happened in 1997 was the re-release of all 3 movies to theaters. This was the second "version" of the movies. They are the SE versions of the OT. At the time Lucas had went back to the original negatives of the film, transferred them to a digital format and then amped up the special effects and sound. The SE versions were available in VHS format but they were never offered in a DVD format and never will be if you believe Lucas. In 2004 Lucas released the DVD versions of the films on ... you guessed it ... DVD. Basically Lucas took the SE versions ... amped up the FX and added a few scenes and altered a few other ones.
Sorry for the ramble but there is so much misinformation on this subject that when there is a chance to try and make it a little clearer to people I jump on it.

in which order do you recommend i watch the star wars films?
S.Sa
im about 34 and ive never seen a star wars films except bits and pieces of the "episode 3"(the 2005 one). i just bought them all on dvd and i dont know where to start logic would say start at "episode 1" and go on from there but im afraid if i start watching those first later on i might be heavily put off by the poor visual effects of movies from 30 something years ago. any suggestions?
Answer
If you've never seen Star Wars, watch The Original Trilogy first (4,5,6,). It's the 'real' Star Wars and the main story. It's what all things Star Wars are based on. The characters are more developed so you will be more invested in them and want to know their history. The prequels are just back story of characters. The storytelling of the OT was excellent and those special effects were revolutionary for the time. They represent the best of an era and are part of American history. And you wouldn't want to spoil the dramatic effect of one of the biggest plot twists in cinema history that comes in E5 by watching the prequels first. The prequels were written with the idea that we already knew the main story, The Original Trilogy.
Watch for the first time this way :
E4: A New Hope 1977
E5: The Empire Strikes Back 1980
E6: Return of the Jedi 1983
E1: The Phantom Menace 1999
E2: Attack of the Clones 2002
E3: Revenge of the Sith 2005
after the first time, then watch 1,2,3,4,5,6, so the time line is in order.
