Answer 1

Yes, you can rip the DVD with a ripper like HandBrake

http://handbrake.fr/

This assumes your computer has a drawer loading DVD drive - NEVER put a miniDVD disc in a slot loader...

Rip the video and save it in a format that Microsoft MovieMaker (.avi) or Apple iMovieHD (.mp4, .mov) likes so you can import and edit before uploading. (You did not tell us what computer you have, so I covered them both.)

If your computer has only a slot loading DVD drive, you can use the AV cable that came in the box with the camcorder and use an Analog/Digital bridge like

Answer 2

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
