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

You ask for help and then get hysterical that you can't use Window Movie Maker. I try to help and you blow me off. Nice. Good bye.
Hey rack sorry bout that, i just got back online, didn't mean to ignore you. I went to the links you gave an actually had downloaded VIRTUALDUBMOD. it froze up the computer, then i went and did some searching, and a microsoft employee who runs a forum on WMM said it did the same thing for his computer. Then i went and saw a step-by step deal on how to use VIRTUALDUBMOD and it listed, about 21 steps. Given the fact that whatever it is always freezes up people computers and i couldnt use it, i removed it and just sent the vid to a friend of mine who will convert the VOB and upload it. I appreciate your help but i just dont have the knowledge, interest or time investment thats necessary to learn all that. wasn't tryin' to be rude. we had a 911 event today so i was gone most all of friday and sat.
