Two years ago, I had my first Mac. Today I get my new MacBook Pro. So I am totally a Mac fan now. I enjoy my Mac very much. I always watch movies on my Mac and sometimes rip my DVD movies on it and convert video to another format. Also I make my own iPhone ringtone on it. And recently, I copy my DVDs on it as well. Now I will share my experience with you.

Step 2. Chose output profile and settings.
Selecting output format is really easy, you can chose your output format according to your devices players and the default setting works great.
Tips: Sample rate (Hz) = any value up to 48000 (higher value = better sound quality = bigger file)
