copy the file to your hard drive and e-mail the file or up load it to a site like photobucket and the just e-mail the link.

Can you just actually copy the DVD to the hard drive and it will work over the internet? I'm thinking that VLC program might work better.

Oh my heavens, do I need to send step by step directions.

Advanced options under CD, "Stream/Save" then choose your file location - "DadsDVD.asf" or whatever.

Then, you select ASF on the first thing, video rendering is WMV1 and audio is MP3.

Click "OK"
