I downloaded "Total Video Converter" and I can't get it to convert the video files from my DVD into a common format such as WMV, MPEG, or AVI, or into sound such as MP3 or WMA, which it says it can do.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Thte files are in a form called ".IFO" which I could only get to play on InterVideo WinDVD, and nothing else.

I'm trying to convert it so I can upload (part) of it on to YouTube, but nothing is working. So, any advice is greatly appreciated.

I personally use the AOA Media Collection to rip and convert any form of movie files. You might want to check them out at DVD to AVI, iPod Video Converter, DVD Creator, DVD Ripper. These programs are very inexpensive and reliable. If I rip a DVD (even copyrighted DVDs)I can choose the option to rip and convert directly to mp4 or any other file format. Highly recommended.
