Hello

Try acidrip - It's a graphical front end on the excellent mencoder 
encoder. That'll get you a decent quality, small file from your DVD. Not 
sure what formats youtube accepts. You'll need the debian multimedia 
repositories being discussed in a thread not very far from this one on 
thie very list.
