How to make a dvd in an attachment to the email

I'm trying to pick up the DVD of my son HS football highlights and hidden in an attachment that I can then send it to the colleges.    I have a HP Laptop vista and tried several options without success.  Would be very grateful for help.

Sincerely,
Mike Reagn

The suggestion of kathleencollins to send copies
DVDs for the colleges may be the best idea. You
could include a cover sheet that includes a picture and
other information that would be informative for the recipients.

E-mail providers have size limits that would be
large files prevent sending. What follows
the article proposes an idea of what these limits are:

Pushing the limit? Webmail & ISP file size limits
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/click-image-above-for-fullsize-140393
(scroll down to: "ISP and e-mail provider file attachment size limits")

However...

If you wanted to 'short' clips from the DVD... by e-mail the
Freeware VLC media Player allows to record the DVD
content, as it is played. A second clip of 30 .mpg
would be about 16 MB.

(The size of the .mpg clips could be reduced even
more if they have been converted to .wmv format using
a converter freeware like Format Factory)

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)
VLC Media Player
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc/
(works on XP/Vista/7)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.1 - win32.exe)

See the following article:

VLC 1.0 records video of the DVD
http://Lifehacker.com/5318807/VLC-10-records-video-from-DVDs

I know that the article refers to an old version of VLC
but the steps are always the same... it can record any part
any video so it plays in VLC.

After recording... Search your clips in your folder my videos
with names similar to what follows:

VLC-record-2012-04-05-01h07m16s-dvd___F__-.mpg
VLC-record-2012-04-05-01h13m57s-dvd___F__-.mpg

(you can rename these to everything that you love so much)
you save the .mpg extension)

For longer sequences which would exceed sending limits
your email provider, you might want to consider download
the clips on the following site, then send download
link to your recipients.

"SendSpace.
http://www.sendspace.com/

It's very simple on SendSpace site the following...
the steps are all you need to do.

On the left, click on the Browse button and it will open a window
allows you to access the files on your hard drive.

Navigate to the folder your videos are in, and select one.

On the left, click on the download button.

When the download link appears... left click copy
button. (this will copy the link in your Windows Clipboard)

Paste the link in an e-mail message to your recipients.

When the recipient goes on the site.

(* these steps are important for the recipient downloads)
the correct video and not be re-directed somewhere
else clicking the wrong link *)

Scroll down a little and the left click the 'blue ': text

* "Click here to start the download from sendspace" * "

Save the file to the desktop.
