First, it depends on how the videos are on the DVD. Put it in you computer DVD drive and then look to see what kind of files are on the disk. Of most of the files end with ".vob" then they have been converted into a format that old DVD players can read, not computer programs. You would need a "DVD ripper" program to take those files off the disk and resave them in a "computer" format on your hard drive. If the files end with ".avi". ".mpg" or ".wmv", then you can copy them directly from the DVD to your hard drive. (Drag and drop them from the DVD to where you can find them on the hard drive.) Once they are on the hard drive, then you can use the Movie Maker program that is included in Windows to cut the clips. If it is not on your PC, it is downloadable for free from microsoft.com You can post videos directly to Facebook. Look in the Facebook "helps" for instructions on how to do that. They have a step by step guide.

You can try DVD Ripper Platinum.

Rip the DVD using DVD shrink (http://lifehacker.com/380702/five-best-dvd-ripping-tools) then use a video editor (even windows movie maker) to cut the part you want. Depending on file size you may want to put on youtube first. After that upload to facebook.
