No. WME can only encode pre-encoded clips. If you want to convert a DVD to a video file, you need a piece of software usually dubbed as a "ripper", and possibly something called a "decrypter" to decrypt any encryption that may be present; but remember that there are legality issues involved in doing this, so you must be aware of what the rights of ownership are before you go ahead with any of this.
