I use clips from various people on television to illustrate to my students how other people have performed.

The only way I could figure out how to do this is an elaborate process, including recording the show on DirectTV HD TIVO, then recording the parts from the show that I need from TIVO to disc on DVR, taking the disk to my computer and running it through a ripping program called "DVD to MPEG", and then for some reason it will only go to an MPEG I, so instead of being able to use PPT 2003 to insert the video file, I have to use another program called Invisilight or something like that.

Is there anyone out there who has an easier way to do this? Is there a way to go directly from the DIrect TV HD Tivo to a computer where I can edit down what I want? It would make it a lot easier...

While the process I explained is fairly complex, it took me months to figure it out, with help from a number of editing professionals, as I am not that gifted when it comes to computer activities.

I am a newbee to this site, so forgive if I have violated any sort of protocol or if this has been discussed in depth somewhere before.
