Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Is there a program available to import dvd files and shrink/convert them down to YouTubeable size? Copying from a TV screen with a digital camera seems cumbersome and low-tech if there is another way.
I tried Windows Movie Maker but it wouldn't recognize the file type.

Location: closely held secret | There's lots of video conversion software available. Some costly, some cheap, some free (some good, some adequate, some crap...).
What exactly are you trying to do, Wayne? Take clips from DVDs to post on youtube? (and I guess, why?) |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Yes Waskel, just wondering if it is possible to post from a DVD, not necessarily commercially available stuff, but something that has been converted from vhs format.

Location: closely held secret | There's a free program from SourceForge called FlaskMpeg that will convert from VOB (DVD files) to Mpeg or Avi, and allows you to choose a segment of the VOB file to convert rather than the whole thing. Works ok, if you've got a little time to figure it out.
That leaves you with an Mpeg or Avi file that's still too big for youtube.
So....
I've been playing with some free stuff from divx labs, Dr. DivX and the required DivX for Windows codec.
Seems to do a nice job of converting, you'll have to go to the 'preprocessing' tab under 'advanced' to resize to 320x240 for youtube.
Install the codec first, it may or may not tell you to reboot. Then install Dr. DivX.
Point Dr DivX to the file you created in FlaskMpeg to convert, tell it where you want the converted file, and press encode.
On the encode screen highlight the file and press resume.
If all goes well, you'll have a file suitable for youtube. Good luck! |

Location: Bluffton, SC | I think the tuxedos might be what bothers me most about that clip. Reminds me of the old Catholic nuns and, well, I'm sure you can imagine the "challenges" they had with me back then. I never really understood why either - I asked them all out! |
