Problem uploading canon xl1 footage?

Question

I just recorded about 15 minutes of footage on my canon xl1. I used a firewire cable to convert the information to digital format on a friend's computer and now have this on a DVD. I would now like to take the footage on the DVD and edit in in windows movie maker. I'm able to play it in windows media, but I don't know how to convert it to something I can edit.

Please help!

Thanks.

You need to 'rip' the DVD. Try DVD Decrypter its free. Then you need to convert it to a file WMM can read like .avi or .wma ...... Try youconvertit.com ........ Good luck!!
