You may have at hand many fantastic DVD movies and video files, which you definitely love very much. Also, you have just got a smart BlackBerry Tour 9630 and you really want to watch these DVD movies and video files on your BlackBerry and take them on the road.

So, you just need Clone2Go DVD to BlackBerry Converter to help you rip DVD movies, convert video files and download YouTube videos to the video format accepted by BlackBerry Tour and then transfer the output video files to your BlackBerry Tour. Now let's take a look at how it performs:
Step 1. Import DVD movies, video files and YouTube videos

Insert the DVD disc into the disc drive, click the "Open DVD" button to import it if you are going to watch the DVD movie on your BlackBerry Tour 9630. Or if the DVD movie is saved as a folder on your computer, you need to click the "Add Video" button to locate that folder, which is composed of two separate folders: VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. From the VIDEO_TS folder, select the .vob file to import and then click "OK".
You can also import videos stored on your PC by clicking the "Add Video" button and then click "OK". The supporting formats are shown as follows:
Audio Files (*.mp2;*.mp3;*.wav)
Windows Media Files (*.avi;*.wmv;*.asf;*.dvr-ms;*.ms-dvr)
MOV/MP4 Files (*.mov;*.mp4;*.3gp;*.m4v;*.qt)
Real Media Files (*.rm;*.rmvb)
Flash Video Files (*.flv)

AviSyth Scripts (*.avs)
Other Video Files (*.mpq;*.dv;*.vob;*.m1v;*.m2v;*.dat;*.amv)
If you want to watch YouTube videos on your BlackBerry Tour, click the "YouTube" button on the main interface. In the pop-up window, copy and paste the URLs of the YouTube videos one by one.

There will be a list of the added YouTube videos, which will be downloaded automatically one by one. The downloading status is clearly shown on the list. After the status of all of them indicates "Completed", you can tick whichever videos you want to watch on your BlackBerry Tour.

After the DVD's, videos or YouTube videos are imported, you can preview it on the main interface. If you only want a clip of the DVD/video, you can drag the "Start to trim" and "Stop to trim" buttons to get the certain segment.
Step 2. Choose a proper profile and start encoding
From the drop-down list of "Profile", you can select the most appropriate profile:

Now you can click the "Start Encode" button to starting ripping DVD movies, converting video files and converting YouTube videos for your BlackBerry Tour.

The software you need is Clone2Go DVD Ripper. Free download
Unlike other DVD rippers, Clone2Go DVD Ripper combines the following features into one single program:
1. Rip DVD to video/audio
2. Convert video to video/audio
3. Download YouTube/Google video
However, in the following guide, I'd like to focus on the first feature: rip DVD to video/audio format using Clone2Go DVD Ripper. Let's take a look at how it performs:
1. Click the "Open DVD" button to load the DVD movie. Alternatively, you can click "File -> Open DVD..." to import the DVD movie. After the DVD is imported, there will be a list of DVD chapters/titles showing in the program.

2. Extend the "Profile" category to select an output format. For example, if you want to watch DVD on your iPod Touch, you can choose "iPod touch MPEG-4" as the output format.

3. Click the "Start Encode" button to start to convert DVD movie to AVI, WMV, 3GP, MP4, FLV, SWF, MPG, MOV video file or for your mobile player.
The steps are quite simple, however, there are several tips we can take a look at while using this DVD ripper to rip DVD to iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, BlackBerry, AVI, 3GP, WMV, MP4, etc.
Tip 1. Merge all DVD chapters/titles into one file
Click the "Options" button on the main interface. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to "DVD" and tick "Do not separate a DVD video disc as titles". You will get a whole DVD movie rather than separate files.

Tip 2. Customize profile for the output
If you want to customize the output video, you can click the "Video Options" and "Audio Options" buttons below the "Profile" category. There you can set video resolution, frame rate, bit rate, video codec, etc.

Tip 3. Specify the output folder
Click the "Options" button on the main interface. In the "General" tab, you can specify the folder for the output file. For your convenience, the output file is easily available by clicking the "Folder" botton in the main interface after the encoding process.
Tip 4. Trim the DVD
If you don't need the whole DVD movie, you can use the "Trim" function to get the exact clip from the movie.
