Have you dreamed to create your own movies with some wonderful DVD segments and upload them to YouTube? But as we all know that most commercial DVDs are protected, you may not edit or playback them on any editors or players. However, DVD to YouTube Converter for Mac allows you to convert DVD to YouTube and other video editor acceptable video formats. But you are recommended to only convert homemade DVD to YouTube because it's illegal to distribute DVD movies on YouTube unless you remix it just for fun. YouTube would also remove the illegal videos if there are.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to transfer DVD clips to YouTube on Mac OS X including Snow Leopard and Lion.
What you will need to convert DVD to YouTube:
1. A movie DVD (either commercial or homemade) and DVD drive.
2. A solid and intuitive Mac DVD to YouTube Converter.
3. A YouTube account
