Hi, new to the forum and my first post

My question is about mode and im a little confused.

If a Cmajor scale is composed of C D E F G A B,
and i want to play the Dorian mode in C. it will be D E F G A B C right? which i need to start on the Second Degree of the scale.
but i saw a video which says the formula of a Dorian mode is 1 2 3b 4 5 6 7b,
which is C D Eb F G A Bb right?.

so which is which?. im a little bit confused :shock:
