Title: Question about uploading video. Any experts?

Ok, I'm a novice at computer tech and video stuff and have a few simple questions. I have some videos on dvd disk and want to upload them to my computer, and then to windows movie maker, and then to the internet via youtube.

I originally put these vids on dvd disk via my DVD RECORDER.

some of the footage originated from VHS tapes, and others originated from my videocam.

When i put the contents of the dvd on my computer they show as 2 folders: VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS. I can watch the vids on my computer but 'm having a hard time isolating the actual video to save to my computer. I believe the vids themselves are in the VIDEO_TS folder, but everytime I try to save them or upload to windows movie maker, my windows movie maker freezes up.

One idiot offered me the suggestion to 'just upload them directly using a cable from your videeocam to the computer!'

There are several problems with that 'answer', the primary being that it completely avoids the problem i presented. I dont want to upload anything from my videocam. because the footage is not ON my videocam. IT IS ON A DVD. If i wanted to upload something directly from my videocam, i can do that.

Furthermore, among the billions of youtube videos from news footage and tv programs, etc, how does the footage originally get put on youtube? does the person use a digital source,? They probably don't use a VHS recording of it? Does anyone know the answer to this question?

Thanks in advance. I have some great footage i need to put up and any help is appreciated.

Meanwhile here is something I do know how to do, upload photos. here is a funny picture of my dog and a cow staring each other down in Houston TX last week. ;-D

I'm no expert, but I've played with video for a few years. Does the Video_ts folder have file extensions such as .BUP .IFO .VOB?

when i open the folder it says it is 2.30GB. my computer is always very extrenely fast but whenever i try to look at this one it freezes everything up and slows everything to a standstill. right now its not responding when i say to open the TS folder. but earlier i did, and yes i think i remember there beinf the BUP, IFO and VOB files, .

arent the VOB files the ones i want, which ahve the actual video on them?

I tried saving the vob but still, my windows moviemaker freezes up when i tried to import the VOb to the windows movie maker story board,.

thanks.

Go to www.doom9.org, then to the "Download" page, then the "full software" page.

Get the codec Huffyuv 2.1 and install it. Then go get VirtualDubMod here: http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/

You should be able to open the VOB's with VirtualDubMod and save it in an AVI container using the Huffyuv codec.

It might be that if one of the vids is longer than ~30 minutes it will be split over 2 VOB's. That would need to be handled differently.

i downloaded virtualdubmode and when i click on it, i see a long list of folders that includes a list of 21 things. so how do i ''open'' a VOB with a list of 21 things? i don't get it., i must be missing somethin.

I should add:

I'll give you a "leg up" if I can on this. But MS MovieMaker is, from all that I've read, rather terrible, ie, too simplistic. Making a YouTube vid that looks good is more involved than putting video and audio into MovieMaker and uploading it.

There is a procedure to make "decent" YouTube vids, and it isn't terribly complicated once you understand what you're doing.

When I first started about 3 years ago, I had little idea as to what I was doing.

After one year, I thought that I got the general gist of it. After two years, I knew that I knew only a smidgin. I'm now 3 years in to this and I'm sorta comfortable with handling various "situations" with video.

Have heart :)

From what I've been able to gather WRT posting a vid on YouTube:

This is for Windows users, mostly.

Make your video size 320x240

Make the audio samplerate 22050 and convert to MP3

Mux them together and use FFDSHOW to make the .flv file (Get the "ffdshow_beta3_rev1324_20070701_clsid.exe")

Upload your vid.

Why make your own .flv? By doing so you can be certain that your file isn't re-encoded and degraded by YouTube.

One other thing: Check that the combinded bitrate of your vid is under 350Kbps.

THATS LESS THAN 350 KILOBITS/SEC. If it is equal to or greater than that it will be re-encoded.

To be certain that your vid is <350Kbps get MediaInfo and open you .flv and examine the video and audio bitrates.

That's the best that I can do at the moment.
