Set MP3, AAC, M4A, etc. as the output format according to your nedds.

eg: If you want to extract audio from video to iPod, you need to select the output format as MP3.

If you want to export to iTunes as a ringtone (40 seconds long or less), you need to trim the audio to make its size smaller. Click Trim button to open the Trim window and trim the current title or chapter by dragging the Start Time slider to set the start time, and dragging the End Time slider to set the finish time.
