Any computer geeks?

Hey guys and gals. I have some video that I would like to put on YouTube of some serious foamage in the kitchen. My camcorder saves the dvd as a .IFO extention. I need to put it into Windows Movie Maker first and do some editing and stuff like that, but WMM doesn't recognize the .IFO . How do I convert it? Am I missing something simple like a "Save as" then change the extention or something like that?

I need help.....

I am no expert, but I have done this. Bring up move maker and plug your camcorder to the compute via the usb cable they give you. You will need to capture the video with move maker and then save it as a file on the computer. It took me about an hour to figure out and several attempts. Most of the time I just forgot to capture the sound as well. Sorry I can not be of more help but like I said, it can be done. Good Luck

Look at the DVD zip program to convert .IFO files you can dld for free trial.

Mike, I kind of don't understand what you are saying. I already have the video recorded onto miniDVD and I put that in my dvd-rom. I can't capture the video inside the restaurant when it's hooked up to my computer..well, I guess I could, but I would need a very long usb cable

Shane....I've tried that and I've tried Radtools which is suppose to convert it to whatever I want it to also. RADtools won't even open it

I don't know what to do....

Anthony what software came with your cam moviemaker?

Play it from your camcorder into your computer and record it from there. Not the most efficient process but without file conversion software that's your best option.
