Colleges Online Courses of Distance Education Degree Programs

Heres the deal:
I am taking an online Speech course in High School in order to obtain that credit. But in order to complete it I must sumbit myself making a speech by camera. If I do not do this soon and finish up the course I WILL NOT GRADUATE.

My Problem:
I recorded my speeches on a SONY camera and “finalized” it on the small DVD within the camera. Now I’m trying to take those file a make them compatible with Windows Media Player, but I have no idea on how to do this. The files either come out not read or not at all (blank). I was able to watch the videos on my school computer BUT they weren’t able to be transfered onto the desktop. Whenever I opened the file a menu came up with all the videos I had recorded and all I would have to do is click on them.

Can somebody PLEASE help me solve this dilemna and instruct me as to how to convert these file so I can use them on wmv and email them to the teacher’ Or atleast suggest a store where it can be done’

I WILL AWARD POINTS TO THE BEST ANSWER.
I really would appreciate ANY advice as I AM COMPLETELY DESPERATE!!!

Thanks in advance!!!
