Step 2. Load your DVD and select the right output format (avi) for Creative Zen.

iSkysoft DVD Ripper lets you select DVD subtitle and audio track to convert dvd movie with any available language, along with setting video brightness, contrast, saturation and so on. It also allows you to choose any chapters or titles to convert and trim the length of each title or chapter.

Step 4. Start the Conversion

After you choose the right output format file and make some settings, click "Convert". You can choose to shut down your computer or open the output folder after conversion so you don't have to sit before your computer waiting for the conversion to finish.

Step 5. transfer videos to your Creative Zen

Open up your program (Zen V Series Media Explorer), and connect Zen V Plus. Select "Convert Video". This option is a must, because videos are viewed in the format as Uncompressed AVI. This is large format, and can generally be a pain.
After that, select "Transfer". This will bring up some options, choose the appropriate, NOT widescreen. Let it convert & transfer.

Now you have successfully put dvd onto your Creative Zen!
