Post by ray qualls »

Can anyone tell me a good program to take clips from home made dvd's and put them on my website. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ray

http://www.dvdxdv.com is a good choice, if you are a Mac user.

Hi Ray,
If you're using a Mac, Joey's advice is golden.

Windows is a different story. Probably the best advice can be found on: http://www.videohelp.com

There are quite a few one click style applications that will rip, allow for simple edits and transitions, and drop it into a suitable format...with varying degrees of quality. The web site above will give you a road map to those and answer most basic questions.

There is usually a big tradeoff when it comes to video for the web. Resolution, file size, bandwith considerations, frame quality etc., etc. Usally, if your sorce is high quality, you'll have a better time compressing video for the web. I'd opt for either outputting to .mov, or to mpeg1 format, as you're more likely to keep both Windows and Mac users happy.

If you run into some snags, or need a few files converted give me a yell.

regards,
