We need a bit more information about what you have done or tried. How did you capture the video from the DVD? What format is it in? Where is the clip now? What are its properties?

If you have, for instance, captured or transferred the DVD video to your computer in its .VOB/MPG form, and it is in your timeline, and you have done any editing you needed to do to it, then to 'save' it i.e. convert it to an AVI format, you have to then click on Share > Create Video File and then select the format you want which can be uncompressed AVI (which is huge -- about 65 GB per hour) or else DV/AVI which is about 13 GB per hour. But it will depend on what you want to do with the AVI...

If you have somehow captured the DVD video in DV/AVI format, then again you have it in your timeline, do your editing, and again go Share > Create Video file > DV (or AVI).
