  Best bet would be to upload it to each of the video sites that wordpress.com supports and give them a try.

  drmike,
  yes, this would be the best way to add video to your blog (uploading to youtube or daily motion).
  but how do you save a dvd to your hard drive so you can upload it? do you have to rip it? what’s a good ripping software? where can you find it? is it free?
  im responding because im in the same situation.

  You should be able to upload to YouTube at least directly from the DVD, provided the file is neither too long nor too big. Otherwise you’d have to break it into pieces.

  We’re not going to discuss file ripping here in these forums. Sorry.
