5. In 'Zoom' section, there are 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.

d. In the 'Preferences' window of the Settings menu, there are many settings to be adjustable.
* Save your DVD drive:
Create a temporary buffer to avoid having the DVD drive being switched on/off too frequently. If you use a RAM buffer you can also disable virtual memory to obtain an even faster ripping speed. The file will be written in your Windows temporary directory (TMP environment variable).
* Luminance filter:
Adjusts the brightness level.
The Y plane is the luminance plane (in YUV format). Applies the formula: Gain*Y + Offset on the Y plane. Gain is an 8.8 fixed point value. (0 = 0.0 ; 128 = 1.0 ; 256 = 2.0 ). Therefore, (using an offset value of 0) a luminance filter value of 128 does not change the brightness level; whereas a value of 256 will double the brightness level. A value less than 128 darkens the movie.
* Volume:
Gain of the audio output.
No normalization is performed; so, if the value is set too high, clipping of the audio signal may occur. A value of 1 can not generate distortion (crackling), but the output sound may be very low. The default value produces a good volume for most DVDs. You can make a few clips of the movie where you know the volume is high, and adjust this value in order to get a satisfactory volume.

Set 'iPod 30G' or 'iPod 60G' as output format: Before ripping DVD to iPod MP4 video format, please make sure the 'Profile' is 'iPod(30G)' or 'iPod(60G).
