Step 2. Set audio track and subtitles for selected chapters.
You can select audio track and subtitle (if necessary) for blu-ray and DVD movie clips. Click on the Audio box and select an audio track with desired language. Set subtitles in the same way. There is a box of “Force Subtitles” too. When you set English as subtitle and check the box of “Force Subtitles”, the subtitle appears only when languages other than English are spoken. For example, in the movie Avatar, I select English subtitle and set Force Subtitles, the subtitle appears only when the Navi language is spoken.

Step 3. Set output format and A/V settings to fit for Motorola Droid.
Specify location for generated files in “Output” box and click on “Format” bar and follow follow “Android”> “Motorola Droid (X) MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)”. If you are using Motorola Droid X or Motorola Droid 2, the “Motorola Droid (X) H.264 Video (*.mp4)” is a better choice for you.
