"RingtoneStudio 2 for iPhone is the most complete option for creating ringtones on your Mac. We’ve designed it from the ground up to be incredibly simple to use. And it works with all models of the iPhone, including iPhone 3.0 and iPhone 3GS."
Is it worth it? Let's try it and find out.

Installation is just the double click of a .dmg. The GUI should be somewhat familiar (see accompanying photos).
RS2 works with many different formats such as AAC, MP3, M4A. In fact, RS2 supports all of the audio and video formats supported by QuickTime/QuickTime Pro (with the exception of DRM/protected media and some older formats like MPEG-1).
It can all be accomplished in just four steps after you launch the application. First, drag your chosen file onto the RS2 and choose the section you want to make into a ringtone. Second, use the selection tools to choose the section that you want to make into a ringtone (forty seconds macsimum). Third, tweak your ringtone using the volume tool and the cursors (you can zoom in or out on the waveform in order to make precise trims). And finally, you press the Create button and let RS2 produce your ringtone and deposit it in your Ringtone Folder.
When the creation is completed, you can then sync them up on your iPhone.
The Pulp
I made a quick ringtone from one of my favorite songs. And it was just as easy to do with a .mov file. Both files retained their audio quality. Quite impressive.
The Rind
I don't have many friends. Gotta work on that.
