Put DVD to Zune, convert AVI, MPEG, DivX, Xvid, RM, MOV, ASF, etc. to Zune WMV
The guide describes how to directly convert DVD, movie, music files to Zune video (WMV, MP4, H.264) or Zune audio (WMA, MP3, AAC) step by step. The program is more powerful than other Zune converter software, because it supports encoding to WMV and WMA playable on Zune without converting using Zune software again.
--- How to convert DVD to Zune WMV, WMA, etc.
1. Download DVD to Zune Converter, run it.
2.Click "Add DVD Folder..." in the File menu or directly click the "DVD" button in the main interface, then select your DVD-ROM in the pop-up window and press the "OK" button.
3. All files from DVD are loaded. If you only want to convert certain chapter(s), press "Show Chapters" button on the main interface and then check the chapter(s).
4. Select the target output format in "Profile" combo-box on the interface. Here WMV is recommended because Zune natively plays the format. If you choose MP4, zune Software will need to transcode it to WMV again, that waste a lot of time.
Tip: The software can also extract audio from DVD and save as Zune audio WMA.
5. After selecting "Zune WMV" as the output format, the right panel will show Zune WMV settings. By clicking certain setting(s), you may specify it. We suggest you to keep the default settings.
Tip: It supports clip or segment conversion. You can convert any clip or segment by setting the start point and duration at will. For example, you want to rip a clip from 00:03:20 to 00:08:00 please click "Start time" to set the starting time 00:03:20 and click "Duration" to specify the length 00:04:40. Tip: Zune video size: 320x240 Tip: Zune video must be WMV with wma audio.
6. There are other options on the interface you can adjust. >> In 'Zoom' section, you can find four options. 'Letterbox', 'medium', and 'pan scan' will convert 16:9 format to 4:3 format. The Full option does not correct the aspect ratio. If you have a 4:3 DVD, use the Full option. >> In the 'Split' drop list, you may select the size of the volumes that you would like to generate. >> Select the output folder by clicking the "Browse..." button or directly enter a path in "Destination" box.
7. Press the "Encode" button to start converting. You would see the info "Completed" in the status column after a successful conversion.
