To use it, basically install then run it (see below).
It will come up with some windows where you choose what you want to do
(edit an edit list, use an edit decision list to edit a DVD, etc.)
+If you try to make an edited copy of your DVD, note that it will take about one and a half times
+as long as the playtime of the movie itself, so budget some time for it.

Enjoy!

== FAQ ==
Q. How do I watch these on my TV, not just on my computer?
A. You could burn a new DVD with it. First create it on your hard drive. Then use some burning utility.
Dvd Flick is a good one for windows. Heere's a screencast of using it: http://rogerdpack.t28.net/sensible-cinema
For OS X : iDVD might work well.
You might be able to move your laptop over to near your TV and hook it in from there.
Or buy a very long cord and plug it in as an extra monitor from your desktop.
If you're interested in also being able to "beam" it from your computer to your game console (ex: PS3) ping me--I might have
something in mind that could help, though hasn't been created yet.
