Step 1 is to 'rip' the dvd... that is to convert it to an .m4v file. I use the open source utility HandBrake to do this.
Step 2 is import the .m4v file into iMovie.
Step 3 is to 'clip' plays in iMovie and export as .m4v files. I prefer the "real-time","real-time", "slow motion" format.
Step 4 is to upload to the web. I upload to Dropbox and share files there via Facebook with local officials. JetMetFan and APG share by uploading to YouTube.

I'm no wiz at it, but its pretty straightforward.

Ends up like this: http://db.tt/wTUVzR67

It should be noted that these steps are for Apple users but the general steps are the same.

I rip files into .mp4 files rather than .m4v files. If you're using YouTube to upload your games, I think it's better to use .mp4 as I believe they transcode it to that format anyhow. Also, instead of using iMovie, I used Windows Movie Maker.
