Getting my DVD onto youtube - HELP!

[JonasMichaels 0]

I'd like to put up some youtube video clips from my time with my Fiancee. I have 2 kinds of media - my video cam, which I have already dragged and dropped the .mod files onto my PC. (but how do I make those into video clips now?)

and a DVD of us. How on earth do I turn a DVD into video clips?

For both of these, I don't want the full 2 hour long film, just want to take short minute selections here and there. Send me a PM or post here, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Jonas

You have to rip the DVD to a MOV, AVI or WMV file, then trim it down to less than 10 min. Youtube will process AVI WMV or MOV files into their flash movie type.

And what do I do with all these .mod files from my vid cam? They won't even open in Windows Media Player. Why did I take typing in school instead of COMPUTERS??

UPDATE: Have converted .mod files to .mpg ... any software that I can edit them into small 1 minute clips? Thanks again

Movie maker from MS should be able to do that.

If it's standard DVD video, as in you can pop it into any set-top and play it, then some video editing programs like Sony Vegas can rip it from DVD into Youtube format WMV files.

It's literally how, within an hour ago, I uploaded this Judas Priest opening from a concert I went to last week:

Or...you can upload the video to google.video to share as well. YouTube isn't the only game in town...
