1. Add DVD movies or video files
Click the "Open DVD" button if the DVD movie you are going to enjoy on your iPhone 3G is on the disc drive. If the DVD movie is saved as a folder on your computer, you need to click the "Add Video" button to locate that folder, which is composed of two separate folders: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. From the VIDEO_TS folder, select the .vob file to import and then click "OK".
You can also import videos of various sources by clicking the "Add Video" button. The supporting formats are:
Audio Files (*.mp2, *.mp3, *.wav)
Windows Media Files (*.avi, *.wmv, *.asf, *dvr-ms, *ms-dvr)
MOV/MP4 Files (*.mov, *.mp4, *.3gp, *.m4v, *.qt)

Flash Video Files (*.flv)
MKV Video Files (*.mkv)
AviSynth Scripts (*.avs)
Other Video Files (*.mpg, *.vob, *.dv, *.m1v, *.m2v, *.dat, *.amv)
After the DVD or video is imported, you can preview it on the main interface. If you only want a clip of the DVD/video, you can drag the "Start to trim" and "Stop to trim" button to get the certain segment.
