Is there a particular format they are looking for? "It supports a number of
music and video formats, including AAC, MP3, WAV, AMR, RealAudio, AVI, 3GP,
MPEG-4, and others."

It seems as simple as ripping a DVD to one of those formats using a normal
application into one of the video formats. Once the file is made, upload it to
the Nokia via USB or whatever connection it uses. Is there some detail we're
missing?
