    hi

    do you know if the dvd is VR format? you can tell by the files/folders on dvd

    and is it finalised?

    dvd shrink can chop/edit dvd not dvdVR

    Totally agree with Rotary. how did you make the DVD? it needs to be finalized. Once that is done, you can use a ripper to copy the entire movie to your hard drive, or, since there is no encryption,in Windows Explorer you can just drag-and-drop to your hard drive only the the VOBs that you want. Or drag the entire movie.
    After that, you use a free converter to convert to a format that youtube acepts. You can use AlltoAvi ,Any_Video_Converter, Super, Internet Video Converter, Avidemux ...plus a few more dozens. If you want to post the entire movie, you have to split the converted video to chunks not loner than 10 minutes.
