The interface is very simple and self explaining. There are the field for an input file, the field for an output path, and lists with preconfigured profiles.

Click the upper Browse... button to select an input video file from your computer.

Input file formats are: *.avi, *.mpg, *.mpeg, *.mpe, *.wmv, *.asf, *.mov, *.qt, *.3gp, *.3g2, *.flv, *swf.

Click the bottom Browse button on the right. Choose the location where you would like to save your converted video file. Click Save.

In the list of Devices select Apple iPod, Sony PSP or Mobile Phone.

In the list of Profiles select one of the available pre-configured profiles.

Click the Trim video... button along the bottom of the interface to open the new window.

Use navigation line and special buttons to set start and end selection markers position.

Click Apply & Close to switch back to the main program window.

Click the Convert button along the bottom of the interface and wait the conversion to be completed.

Open Apple iTunes and drag the newly converted video file to the library window. If you have selected "Automatically update all videos" for the video preferences for your iPod, the new video will automatically transfer when you connect the player. If you have selected "Automatically update the selected playlists only," make sure that you drag the new video to one of the selected playlists.

Note: You'll probably want to update the information of the video when you move it to the iTunes library. To do this, select Videos from the left-hand column and go to list view. Then, click the file for which you want to edit info and select Get Info from the File menu (or simply right-click). You can edit the boxes found under the Info tab.
