anyone know how to do this?
pointers puleez... I never deal with video.

try ripping the dvd to your computer then changing the format to flash video.

ok, so how do I go about ripping this DVD to my computer

Get DVD burning software.

like...

I use intervideo DVD copy 5. I mostly use it to put dvd's on my Ipod. But you can load dvd's into multiple formats.

hm... is there anything free or linux based?

Cheap bastard

sorry, I blow all my money on being your professional photographer and giving you a place to post pictures of your kewl tribals

I have no tribals. But the rest is sad but true.

umm ffmpeg or vlc can convert it to something smaller then just upload it

i think the best thing to do is drag the video ts folder to vlc then export to yer desired format for uploading... it doesnt need to be flash i think avi is fine. if its encrypted then u need to rip it normally with a program made for that.

its a trial version but if you only need to do it once it works.
