DVD to Facebook

Here are mainly 3 reasons you need to convert DVD to Facebook beforehand:

The physical DVD format is MPEG-2, which is excluded from Facebook supported video format list .
The size of a general DVD file ranges from 4.7GB to 9.4GB, which greatly exceeds the Facebook video upload limit, up to 1 gigabyte in size. So you need to resize and shrink your DVD video into less than 1 GB before uploading DVD to Facebook.
The max length of the video you can upload to Facebook is 45 minutes. Make sure to convert you DVD and cut it down within the length before uploading.

Recommended Software to Convert and Upload DVD to Facebook

As is mentioned above, Facebook imposes many restriction on DVD video uploading. So it’s impossible to directly upload DVD disc to Facebook for sharing with the world.
