Well i have a dvd of a few races and would like to save it to my computer so i can put it on youtube or something, how do i do that?

I can put it in the computer and play the dvd in windows media player, but it will not let me rip it like an audio cd. Is there an easy way to do this?

I'm decent with computers, just not that into them to know all the features yet.

Did you put the disc in the burn drive? I know some computers have 2 different ports for cd/dvd.

It is an hp laptop with only one drive, i have played dvd's cd's and burnt cd's in this same drive, i just cannot figure out how to save the dvd to my computor.

Is the dvd a burnt dvd, or did you buy it already made from a store? I have a hp as well and I dont have any issues, Ill try it right now.

Ok, put the disc in and click out of what pops up to run it with another program. Go to start>computer>click on cddrive. the videos should pop up seperately, then drag them from the cd to a file on your computer, this worked for me.

Ok i think we are getting close, i can go to cd drive, click and drag to another folder, drop it, BUT it turns into a shortcut, not an actual file.

Yeah it is a burnt dvd from some races at the track

Hmm.. Cause I just tried it with mines and it takes the video off the disc and puts it into my computer. Try dragging it and copy and paste, take the dvd out and see what happens.

OK, I opened the separate video and audio files, drag and dropped them, and it worked.

You are the man, thanks alot.
