First, I told I would update him on my progress and second, I'm tagging @topffer because he did help and I am hoping he is able to give me help on one more problem I have. This has to do with my last 2 posts. I had 2 home videos I wanted transferred to DVD so I could download them onto my computer and then upload them into Youtube. For anyone who is in the same boat, if you found someone to transfer your home video to a DVD, here.is what you need to do. 1. Make sure your computer has a DVD drive. 2. If you don't have it already, download VLC media player, because even if you have a DVD drive, you can't play it without this. 3. Download Handbrake, this softwware will allow you to save a copy of your video onto your computer. 4. You can upload to Youtube, however, iuf you want to edit your movie (I use Window Movie maker but I don't have this on my laptop, the only device that plays DVDs and I can't get it on my laptop anymore. 5. There are 3 things you can do here. a) I didn't try this, but I guess I could have put the files onto my flash drive so I could transfer them to my computer that has Windows Media Player, but I didn't think of that. b) You can go to gmail and sent the file to yourself by uploading it into the message. c) You can directly upload it to Google Drive. The last 2 you can open onto your computer with the Movie maker, but both take super long to upload, especially if the file is large. I did the last 2 with success!!! Let me explain what are on each of these DVDs. One has my last 2 children's ultrasound on it. The other one has a parade my family was in, followed by a music video I had recorded way back then. (Don't judge me, I am sure you did the same thing. ) I was able to upload the parade video into Movie Maker and cut the music video out, leaving only the parade which I saved and uploaded to Youtube. The problem are the ultrasounds. Even though both videos have 2 separate events, I am only able to copy the first ultrasound onto my computer, the second one isn't showing up. Before you ask, I checked the DVD and when I open the handbrake, both videos are there, but it is only allowing me to save the first one. So I can only upload the ultrasound of my one child, if my other child wants a copy of his, I can't give it to him online, he would have to watch it on the DVD. (I know, who is going to sit and watch their ultrasound, but it's the thought that counts, right?) So anyone familiar with handbrake, is there any way I can download the second video? Even if I had to download both, that is fine because I can split it on my computer later.

@changjiangzhibin89 No one has replied. I can't help but think of a couple who might have been able to help, but both are now gone.

I am still hoping someone can help me get my other Ultrasound on the computer. I don't understand why it didn't copy, because on the first DVD, both videos copied.
