Palmier, your opening comment was, "I am not the best when it comes to computers."

Given this statement, my suggestion on how to move a clip from DVD to youtube is this: find a student to barter with for classes, or a tech-savvy friend, and get that person to do it for you! Video editing technology is NOT user-friendly, and not for the faint of heart! It's been getting better over time, but it involves a lot of pain and suffering - there's a HUGE learning curve.

Those brave souls who venture into the world of video editing will find that the path is full of snares and pits. For example, video editing takes enormous amounts of hard disk space, can take forever to do on an older computer, etc. Even people who are really tech-savvy find themselves wanting to run screaming into the night when first learning to do this stuff. It's ugly.

Video editing is fine for people who don't mind being patient with learning lots of techy detail, buying additional hard disks, and hitting lots of roadblocks. But for people who consider themselves to be "not the best when it comes to computers" I would advise making friends with a techy who is willing to help you.
