No - you can rip the video files with Handbrake and upload them straight from there. If there isn't a setting called "YouTube" any of the various Quicktime formats will work.

[eta: Actually I'm not sure if Handbrake will let you select clips or just whole chapters. If you're on a Mac MPEG Streamclip is my preferred way to clip out DVDs because you can set in/out points wherever you want.]

I need to buy an HDMI cable for CJ's PS3. Any tips or good sources. I have done some goggling and I see a wide range of prices. Does it make that big of a difference? My instinct is to find the cheapest one for the length I need. Advice?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Go for the cheapest.

I wholeheartedly recommend buy.com. i just got a co-worker two 6 foot gold-plated HDMI cables for $9 with s/h included.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Amazon also has a vendor that has very cheap cables.

This was "an I need it now". So I hit Target and got a 6' for $20. But, of course, there was a display of new DVD's and Supernatural's 5th season called to me. I still made it out for under $100, so I'm not gonna fuss.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
