Is it possible to import from D drive?

I have an external DVD recorder, and have burned tons of DVD's from our 8mm
home movie tapes. Now I want to make a compilation DVD with editing, text,
transitions, etc. From what I can tell so far the only way to get video to
your pc is to play it on an external source and then capture it to your
harddrive. Isn't there a way to just put my DVD into my computers DVD drive
and then just capture the scenes and video I want onto my hardrive? Thanks
for the help

You need to "rip" the movie from the DVD.
You can google for "DVD Ripping" for more information and/or programs.
Or you can visit http://www.videohelp.com/ and use the search engine "DVD
to"
Here is a link I got off videohelp:
