How to edit and convert DVD episodes for upload to YouTube
I have made a demo DVD of my trip in Japan, but do not have the sourcevideo, because the person who has filmed and edited the video has settled downin another country. So I only have the DVD format right now, but want to uploadsome of the DVD content to YouTube. It's really a headache. I've been lookingaround the web to figure out the problem for a whole weekend, and tried out lotsof DVD Rippers, but I was always disappointed with the result. The main problemseemed to be video and audio synchronizing. Fortunately, I finally came acrossPavtube DVD Ripper on one of the Forums devoted to Burning. Because of its goodoutput quality, I decided purchasing it. To be honest, I am very pleased withthe application, it exceeds my expectations and I am very happy with it. It enables me to select specific scenesto convert to YouTube acceptable format without any audio and video out of syncissues. And I also like being able to alter the color and brightness and todeinterlace. Share the detailed steps in the following, and hope it is helpful.
Before that, I would like to say some more about uploadingvideos to YouTube.
YouTube supported videoformats:
.FLV, .MKV, .MOV, .WMV, .AVI, MPEG, .MP4, DivX, 3GP and.OGG
Optimized video settings recommended by YouTube whileconverting:
Video codec: MPEG-4, H.264, or MPEG-2
Audio codec: MP3 or AAC, 128k Mono or 320kStereo
Resolution: Recommended:1280 x 720 (16:9 HD) and 640 x 480(4:3 SD)
Frame rate: 30 frames per second
File size and length: Up to 2GB file size and 10 minutesduration
Here we go.
Step 1: Click "DVD Rom","DVD Folder" or "IFO/ISO" to load DVD files
Step 2: Click thedrop-down menu of "Format" to select a proper format for YouTube
According to the recommended optimal settings, I select "FLVH.264 (*.flv)" as output format. .FLV should be a much better choice than otherformats, as long as you limit the bit rate in not more than 320 kbps. In thatcase, the generated .FLV files will not be converted for the second time byYouTube's encoders while uploading, so that you can remain the original qualityof .FLV video files as much as possible.
Step 3: Click "Settings"button to do optimized settings
I set it to the recommended optimized settings:
Video codec: h.264
Size: 1280*720
Bitrate: medium quality
Frame rate: 30fps
Audio codec: aac
Bitrate: 320kbps
Channel: Stereo
If you can't set the optimizedsettings accurately, try and match them as close as possible.
Step4: Select specific duration and adjust contrast and brightness
Click on "Edit" button, andthen you will enter the editor window, go to "trim" to specify your neededvideo clips. You can drag the slider bar under the preview window or insert thestart and end time to the textboxes to specify a specific duration time of thevideo to do conversion.
Click "Effect" icon, and you will be allowed to adjustbrightness, contrast, and saturation by dragging the slider bars. Also, you cantick off the checkbox before "Deinterlacing" to remove interlacing lines.
Step 5: Click "Convert"button to start DVD ripping
The ripping window will show you clearly about theconversion info, especially, you can get an estimated output file size, so thatyou can see if the output file size is surpassing YouTube's 2GB limitation. Ifit is, you can go back to re-trim the duration time, or reset the video andaudio parameters to smaller figures, but the latter will sacrifice some qualityof the file.
Once finished, you can get the output files via clickingon "Open" button, and now the file is ready to be uploaded to YouTube.
