Ok, I've tried everything I can think of -- maybe someone here can
help.
I purchased a History Channel documentary from AOL video. I'm working
for someone who wants to use a short, 10-minute clip from the film, as
it includes a story about one of our academic alumni who flew a
fighter plane in WW2...he just wants to use it in a lecture to a group
of students.
The History channel's website gives permission for educators to show
its films in such instances, so it shouldn't be a problem (and yes, we
tried contacting them about the film at their "permissions" email, to
no avail!).
My problem: I want to be able to use JUST that short clip in the Power
Point, not the entire film. I can't edit the film down to that clip as
every video editing program I try informs me that the video is
protected by digital rights management. I understand why that is, and
I'm not out to bootleg it: we only want to show that brief clip.
What do you all suggest? I would even be willing to put in an action
button for him in his Power Point, but how do I link that directly to
the point that we need in the film (which is 30 minutes or so into the
film)? He'll be in front of 700 students or so, and we'd really rather
not have him fumbling around trying to drag the cursor to the
beginning of the section we need in front of the audience.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
