[TriLUG] Portable DVD playlist?

[Andrew Perrin]

Folks,

I want to show selections from a commercial DVD to a class next week. I'm 
searching for solutions that will let me pre-choose the selections, then 
just hit "play" once instead of having to select each individual scene. 
Any advice? The resources at my disposal are:

- A Windows XP machine with a DVD-ROM player;
- A Linux (debian) laptop with a somewhat slow DVD player;
- A Windows XP laptop I can borrow from the department

The first of these is anchored in the classroom and is already attached to 
the DVD projector; the laptops can easily enough be attached.  I'm open 
either to figuring out how to rip scenes from the DVD into playable 
files,then stringing them together, or to some sort of bookmark solution.

Thanks for any ideas.
Andy
