DVD to Youtube

I'd say copy the stuff from the DVD onto your harddrive and then upload to youtube. If the DVD stuff is too big, you may need to import it into a editing software and render it with some compression. If the DVD stuff is less than 500MB and you don't want to rerender, than upload to vimeo.com rather than youtube.

Two software products that do the trick:

FREE: MPEG Streamclip is a powerful free video converter, player, editor for Mac and Windows.It can play many movie files, not only MPEGs; it can convert MPEG files between muxed/demuxed formats for authoring; it can encode movies to many formats, including iPod; it can cut, trim and join movies. MPEG Streamclip can also download videos from YouTube and Google by entering the page URL.

Commercial: iSofter DVD to YouTube Converter is fast and easy to use DVD to YouTube video converter software. It helps you convert home DV or DVD to YouTube supported video MPEG-4(DivX,XviD) with excellent image and sound
quality.

I think this DVD to FLV converter is still free to download.

I'd just recommend that you convert to h.264 movie - 640x480 - High Quality.

I use AVSMEDIA.com - Converter

Send that to YouTube and then add &fmt=18 at the end of the URL to see a higher quality video on YouTube.

The tool I would recommend for any conversion process is Quick Media Converter -- it is free and works great to any video in the format you need to use or post anywhere.

If your camera isSony Brand, try using Sony Vegas. It is designed to work with its DVD Camcorders.

Who knows? Maybe it will work with other brands? =)
