First you need to select a video to convert: DVD video or other video file.

To do that click the Browse... button. The following window will let you select the video you need:

You should select the necessary file with the mouse and click Open.

Note: when you select a DVD as an input video, you should choose the first IFO file in the DVD folder. It is done for the program to be able to load the whole DVD structure correctly.

Press Audio track to select audio language (there can be several audio tracks in one DVD, you should select the one you want).

Once the source file path is entered you will be able to see and change the following information:

• File name - use this option to select the name for the output video file.

  Note: you can only change the file name, the extension will always be .mp4, so that Microsoft Xbox could handle the resulting video correctly.

• Max file size (MB) - use this option to set the size (measured in Megabytes) for the output video file.

• Quality - use this option to set the quality-conversion speed ratio from the available presets - Best quality (the movie will be converted with the best possible quality but the conversion process will take more time), Normal quality/Medium speed (the movie will be converted with normal quality and the conversion process will be a little faster - set by default) and Maximal speed (the movie will be converted at the highest speed possible for the chosen preset at the expense of the quality).

• Temp folder - use this option to set a temporary folder that will be used to store the output files that will be uploaded to your device.

  Note: if you close the program before the uploading is finished, the file will be deleted and the uploading will be interrupted. So the program have to run to insure the successful uploading process.

You can also use the following controls to view the input video file:

	Use the Play button to play the source video file to preview it.
	Use the Pause button to pause the source video file while previewing it.
	Use the Slider to find a specific place in the movie while previewing it.

If you are sure that you want to convert the entire DVD movie or video file then simply press Next>> to go to Step two.

You can also select to convert a part of the video only if you need to. Usually it is better to try and see the result of so to speak "test conversion": when you choose a small part of a movie and convert it into the selected format. After that if you are satisfied with the output and made sure you can playback it on the chosen device you can convert the whole movie with the same settings or change the settings if you see something wrong. Partial conversion is also useful when you want to cut the scenes from the movie or select only a part of a movie, for instance a music video clip.

Use the mouse cursor on the slider to select a part of the video to be converted. Select the beginning of the video with the mouse cursor (it will turn into a double sided arrow), click it and, without releasing, drag to the place where you want the episode of your video to begin. The same way the episode end is selected:

You can also use the buttons to make a selection:

	[F5]	Use the Set Selection Start from Cursor Position button to set the initial point of your selection to the current slider cursor position.
	[F6]	Use the Set Selection End to Cursor Position button to set the final point of your selection to the current slider cursor position.
	[F3]	Use the Show Selection Start button to show the video that corresponds to the selection initial point.
	[F4]	Use the Show Selection End button to show the video that corresponds to the selection final point.
		Use the Play Selection button to playback the video in the selection range.
		Use the Select All button in case you selected some part of your video and after that decided to convert the whole video.

When you are ready to proceed to the next step press the Next>> button to go to Step two.
