Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows how to burn a DVD on to a computer? I have one of my local football grand finals I would like to put up on Youtube, but the only way I can get it on there would be to burn it from the DVD. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You're going to need software to copy (or rip) the video off the DVD.

I use Nero and do a "Back up" copy, but there's plenty you can use, try one of these.

Cheers Stu! I'll let you know how it goes.

Here's the one I use, if it helps.

This is more for 'official' DVDs - if it's just a file on a burnt disc in the first place, you probably don't even need any fancy software.

I found yours pretty complicated Stui, so I went with Davids. Thanks though!

I'm uploading the first quater now, it's taking a looong time! Haha.

I thought You-tube had a 10 minute limit

Thanks guys. Showing my paitence limit here - I usually get tired of that tiny you-tube screen and flick out after about 3 minutes. Smile

What's stopping you going full screen ?

Joboshare and you can't miss. It shrinks the DVD files and burns them all in one go. Will copy virtually any disk.

Go to downloads.com and you can buy it for the price of a new DVD.

DVD Shrink is free, but you also need Nero to burn the files.

I will indeed. So will you. But there are compensations:

(1) It will still be vastly cheaper than the current system, under which we all subsidise the absurdly expensive and massively under-performing Telstra network. Yes, we have to shell out to build the infrastructure, but it saves us bucket loads of money overall because we no longer have to subsidise Telstra's monopoly.

(2) It will actually work properly most of the time.

(If you don't believe (2), simply look at it this way: can you imagine a network that works even more badly than the Telstra one? No. Neither can anyone else. It's probably not possible. But in any case, the NBN has several massive advantages, reliability-wise. (a) It's fibre - i.e., immune to most of the things that go wrong with copper. It even works under water. (b) It is not a pastiche of different, semi-incompatible technologies implemented with equipment anything up to 50 years old. (c) It is maintained by an organisation dedicated to maintaining the network (as opposed to Telstra, which is dedicated to spending as little as possible and maintaining their monopoly, not least by shafting customers who sign up with any other company).)

Thank you very much for your help and input everyone! Much appreciated.

I ended up getting what I wanted up on Youtube, and will hopefully soon have the whole game up!

But this, is the main thing I wanted on there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz-bu84-hWA&feature=feedu

Thanks again!
