You can do it for free, but like Lauren alluded to, free software is not necessarily for the faint of heart. I use DVD Shrink to extract the footage from the DVD into a VOB file, then use AutoGK to turn the VOB into an AVI. Finally, I edit and add titles with Windows Movie Maker (comes standard on most Windows machines) and turn it into a WMV to compress the file size down managably, and that's what I upload to YouTube.

I have done this for other dancers before at a fairly minimal cost, and threads like these make me wonder if I should more widely offer it up as a service. Anyone interested can certainly PM me - but of course, you'd have to be willing to snail mail me your DVD, then wait to get it back.
