A detailed guide of converting DVD to Motorola Droid video on Mac
Now let’s focus on the detailed working flow of converting DVD to Motorola Droid,Droid X,and Droid 2.By DVD I mean disc,folder and image file.Here I take a standard DVD disc for example:

1. Load DVD to Pavtube DVD to Motorola Converter for Mac

Insert your DVD to Mac/MacBook/ iMac, run the DVD to Motorola Droid Converter. When it starts up, a dialogue box pops to ask whether you’d like to select Order or Trial. Click on “Trial” button. To load DVD movie, you can click “DVD Folder” and browse to the DVD movie you’d like to convert, and then click “Choose” to confirm.

2. Decide which chapters to convert to Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, etc.

The DVD movie is displayed in a directory.Click the triangle arrow to expand the directory for checking movie chapters.Basically the main movie is included in the first Title, so you can right-click, select “Uncheck All” and then check the main title (usually the one with longest duration) only. In the following picture, the main title of the DVD movie Avatar is the third one.

3. Set audio track and subtitles for selected chapters.

Now you got to select audio track and subtitle (if necessary). Click on the Audio box and select an audio track with desired language. Set subtitles in the same way. Always note that you got to check the chapter before setting audio and subtitle. And you have to select subtitle and audio for each Title. By default there will be no subtitle at all. There is a box of “Force Subtitles” too. When you set English as subtitle and check the box of “Force Subtitles”, the subtitle appears only when languages other than English are spoken. For example, in the movie Avatar, I select English subtitle and set Force Subtitles, the subtitle appears only when the Navi language is spoken.

When setting audio and sub, you can view the movie clips from the Preview window. Simply select an item and click the “Play” button. When the video is playing, you are allowed to take snapshoot. Just click the“Snapshoot” button when it plays to your favorable frame. If you’d like to have one file instead of individual chapters (multiple movie clips),please check the box “Merge into one file”.

4. Determine output format for your Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, etc.

The Pavtube DVD to Motorola Converter is capable of decrypting and converting protected (and unprotected) DVDs. It is capable of converting DVD to Motorola Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, and some other video and audio formats like WMV, MOV, VC-1, M4V, AVI, Divx, MKV etc. You can click on the “Format” bar, find “Android” tab and select “Motorola Droid (X) H.264 Video (*.mp4)” or “Motorola Droid (X) MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)”. H.264 MP4 is recommended if you are producing Droid X or Droid 2 video. Customized video formats for other Android phones like HTC Droids are available too. You may customize video and audio parameters in Settings panel as well.Simply click “Settings” button to and set the bitrate, frame rate,channels, sampling rate as desired values.

Click “Browse” button and specify an output folder to save converted files. Click “Choose” to confirm.
