If you are sure that you want to convert the entire DVD movie or video file then leave checked I want to convert the entire DVD/video movie
and then simply press Next>> to go to Step three.
But 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.
To do this mark I want to convert a part of my DVD/video movie:
There are two ways to select the range of the episode you would like to convert:
Enter the start time (hours:minutes:seconds) in the Set conversion starting point box using keyboard or clicking with the mouse. The episode end time is entered in the Set conversion finishing point box. The Selected range duration (hours:minutes:seconds) of the episode can be seen in the middle part of the window.
The second way is to select the range of the part of the movie using the Range box. Here you can change the initial and the final point of conversion moving the Range box boundaries. The digits above show the actual place of the scene time in the movie. The Selected range duration (hours:minutes:seconds) of the episode can be seen in the middle part of the window.
Use the following buttons to:
- scale up to find the precise place of the scene beginning or end;
- scale down to navigate through the movie;
- return to actual length of the movie;
- view the episode beginning and end scene to make sure the place you have chosen is the one you really wanted.
After you determined the conversion range press the Next>> button to go to Step three.
If you decide to change the source file path to select another movie press <<Back to return to Step one.
