I want to know how I can convert a dvd file in to torrent file ? I am using uTorrent. I have dvd saved in computer hard drive. Using uTorrent dvd movie file will not convert to torrent file.

I think you are misunderstanding the bittorrent protocol.
A .torrent file is a very small file that sets up communication with a tracker to download other file(s (in your case the DVD files).
So you would create a separate .torrent file that others would download to get a copy of the DVD files on your computer.
The communications between your computer and the other computers downloading the files would be through the tracker(s) for your torrent.
Anyhow take a look at the uTorrent guide on making a torren:

You would not need to convert the DVD files, unless you want to distribute them in a more compact form.
