Quick guide: just follow the tabs from left to right.

- Choose a ripping mode on Storage tab
- Select title / chapters on "RIP Title" tab
- Hit "RIP selected title(s)/chapter(s)" button to
  copy on harddrive (unless you've choosen "on-the-fly"
  mode on first tab - in that case skip this)
- Wait until ripping finishes
- Define quality/image size settings on "Clip & Zoom" tab
- Optionally select subtitltes on Subtitle tab
- Decide on codecs, bitrates & stuff on Transcode tab
- Hit "Transcode" button
- Wait until transcoding finishes
- You're done. You find the created files in the avi/
  subdirectory of the project directory
