for those of あなた with YouTube accounts....

Beats me...

Well what I did is have a finalized recorded dvd in my hard drive and I go to where it says アップロード on the upperscreen of YouTube and I went to Start and go to "My Computer" and clicked on CD drive and go to VIDEO_TS and clicked on it and downloaded to Youtube. But sometimes it takes time to load it once it's loaded then あなた can rename the タイトル and save it and あなた may see it on the screen. But a store brought dvds never usually work. I think あなた can also アップロード it from the X-box as well. (I never tried it from the x-box, though).

uh what type exactly

If あなた have Windows Live Movie Maker または something, あなた can make 動画 there and save them and then アップロード them to YouTube.

あなた can download Windows Live Movie Maker.
あなた can download it online for free and it's really simple. I use it a lot, there's a bunch of things あなた can do with it.
