Can one of you please explain what the procedure is to get from a camcorder video or DVD to a clip that can be uploaded to YouTube? What kind of file do they want to see, and what software do I need to make it?

Cheers,
Michael

I've used moviemaker, which came with my PC. It's easy to use.

you can download "dvd decrypter" {free software} and rip your dvd through it onto your hard drive, then download "dvd shrink" {free software}put the film from the hard drive onto dvdshrink and compress it down to 100mb or 10 minutes, and save it. then when you go onto youtube to upload it, upload the film that you compressed and saved through dvd shrink.

Handbrake, also free and multi-platform does a good job of ripping DVDs. It works with PAL as well as NTSC, and cheerfully ignores those damn region codes.
