Step 1. Download AVS Video Converter

You can try out the Windows-only Video Converter for free, but a watermark will appear throughout your video. If you're serious about converting video, purchase the program for US$39; the variety of supported file formats makes it worth it.

Step 2. Launch AVS Video Converter

Start > All Programs > AVS4YOU > Video > AVS Video Converter 6

Step 3. Select Output File Type

Click the To AVI, To MP4, To 3GP or To WMV buttons along the top of the interface:

- To MP4 for mobile phones with MPEG 4 video support;

- To 3GP for mobile phones with 3GPP and 3GP2 video support.

Step 4. Choose Video File or DVD

Click the uppermost Browse button on the right. Navigate to the location where you keep your video files or DVDs, and select the video that you would like to convert. Click Open.

Note: When your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X://Video_TS/Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored.

It is important to select the IFO file, rather than VOB or VRO file, because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting. Besides most DVDs have several VOB or VRO files (files with actual video) and if you convert VOBs or VROs instead of IFO, you will have to merge them afterwards, which is not the case with the IFO files.

Anyway if you have only VRO or VOB files, select them. AVS Video Converter converts these files perfectly too.

Step 5. Select Output Location

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

Step 6. Select Output Format Profile

In the list of Profiles select one of the available profiles:

- 3GPP: Extended Mobile Support;

- 3GPP: Mobile Highest Available Quality;

- 3GPP: Mobile Standard Quality;

- 3GPP: Mobile Balanced Quality;

- 3GPP: Mobile Smallest Size with Audio;

- MP4: Mobile Standard Quality;

- MP4: Mobile Economy Quality.

You can also click Edit Profile button to manually set the profile parameters.

Step 7. Convert Video

Click Convert Now and step away from the computer (processor performance will be seriously affected during conversion). If you want to watch the progress while you convert, click the Advanced button until the viewing screen pops out of the bottom.

Step 8. Transfer Video to Portable Device

After conversion is completed AVS Mobile Uploader will be launched to guide you through the transfer process. In the AVS Mobile Uploader window you should press the Find Devices button to search for your portable video player or mobile phone.

Connect your device to your computer via a USB cable or wireless Infrared or Bluetooth.

After that click Next>. Then Upload>.The upload process itself will take place. It will take some time depending on the output video file size.
