You need to rip it using Handbrake first. If it still too large open it in iMovie and and export it as a web clip. That should get it to a small enough size that youtube will let you upload it.

Using HandBrake, you can set the ripping parameters such that you won’t need to convert it a second time.

Thank you all. I tried handbrake and it worked. :)

It is sad that you all couldn’t agree on an answer. The answers were all over the board. LOL!
