So i have these video files (.BUP, .IFO, and then two that I can't find the file extensions for) and I need to upload them to youtube. I'm pretty sure they are all the same video, just different formats, so I only need to get one uploaded. What video formats does youtube take, and how can I convert mine to upload them?

Thanks!

.ifo is just a DVD info file (tell scene locations, timing, etc) and .bup is a backup of the .ifo I think.

basically those files aren't video..they point to other (probably .vob) files for the actual data.

you need something to rip the dvd's to an avi or other typical format then get it down to a short enough / small enough section to be uploadable to youtube

i think theyre limit is like 10mb

hold on and i'll find an app to do it

"YouTube accepts a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG transferred from most digital cameras, camcorders, and cell phones."

As far as those particular video formats, you'll have to use a DVD Ripping program to convert the files ... I promise you can find a wealth of information on the subject. Including some programs that will do it automatically for you.

In fact, Lifehacker just posted a quick how-to with regards to ripping a DVD with VLC fairly easily ...
