Your first mistake was buying one of these DVD burner Cameras in the
first place. Now your going to go though hell trying to recover and
edit your videos.

However, that being said, there are many many tools that will convert
DVDs to video clips, whether it be .AVI or .MOV. Once you get them to a
clip, you'll edit it with some kind of editor, and then output it to the
format that YouTube requires. I think it's mpg-1.

The bad news is its going to look like hell after the conversion,
however YouTube videos being for the web aren't that great to begin with.

The other bad news is that any tools that you find for conversions from
DVD to 'whatever'.. are going to be considered piracy tools by the MPAA,
so don't buy anything with a lifetime garrenttee because the company my
be shut down..

In the future sell that camera on eBay to the next person who doesn't
know any better.
