iMovie import DVD, import/convert DVD to iMovie for Mac Snow Leopard

Question A: The DVD was filmed in Mexico when my sister and I went swimming with the dolphins and we bought it from the company. But I can't even open the DVD with imovie HD and I'm not sure why. I just want to use some clips of me and my sister for the movie/slideshow I am making for my mom. Why won't it let me upload or import it?

Question B: I have a DVD from a musical that I did at my high school. I want to upload some clips to YouTube but when I try to drag the DVD to iMovie, it just says "Filtering files" and then the box disappears, leaving me with a blank project on iMovie. I called Apple and they said I needed to download a converter so that the computer could read it. Could someone give me instructions on how to do this and provide me with a link to a good converter that would allow me to upload the video to iMovie then YouTube?
