Video from phone to pc

Hey,
I used the search function and did not find what I searched for so I hope I did not oversee something
I recorded some videos with my phone (HTC hero with the standart camera) and as I wanted to copy the files to my pc I could not find them. There is the option to share via gmail or bluetooth but the files are to big for gmail and my pc does not have bluetooth so how can I transfer these video files to my pc?
Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance

Nobody can help?

What about moving stuff to SD card and pulling card / using USB adapter to plug in PC? Plus it all depends on what format device records video in that will determine if you can play on PC.
good day.

I can´t find it on my phone. I used Root Explorer to look for the videos but I dunno where they are saved, do you know what folder I have to look for?
Thx for the advice btw

Sorry winmo user. But after some searching the videos should be in the same folder as your pictures.
good day.

I guess I found the solution here:

Just posting it, in case anyone else has the problem. Thanks, seems your advise solved it.

[Q] Alternative Gallery Apps?

I am curious if any of you use your TF for doing presentations for clients at wherever you work.
I have a couple of apple guys in the office and with their Ipads they have downloaded a program called "Portfolio" which I have not found in our Android market.
The basic functionality is that it lets them break up galleries into folders, so they create a folder for each product. Then for the client they can just click on the folder for the product they want to see and can show them photos/pdfs/etc.
Is there any way we can do that with either the standard gallery or another gallery?

U don't need special app to makes different folders for your different clients. The stock gallery already supports this.
Go to your SD card via any file manager, create a folder "client". Then create more folders within "client", name each of these folders with your clients name. Then drop the related files in their respective folders.
The stock gallery should pic this up and display your client's name in folders.
Apart from that, u can try Quickpic as an alternative gallery, its more flexible compared to stock gallery.

+1 for QuickPic.

Also recommending QuickPic.

If we could only have Quickpic with the smoothness of JustPictures ^^

Thanks for the tips!
Quick question, if we have some marketing videos that I would also want to use that are either in Quicktime or WMV will they work on the transformer or do I need to convert them to something else? If so, what is the best for conversion (both time, ease, and quality)?

Yes for WMV as long as the resolution isn't too high (1080p isn't smooth with this format, I've tried. 720p or lower is fine for me), but you'll need to convert Quicktime into a more useable format such as MP4. You can use Handbrake to convert it, it's free so nothing to lose in trying it out.

Watch videos from SkyDrive..

Is there a way to watch videos loaded in SkyDrive on you device?

Yeah you can. You just have to make a folder and if you're using SkyDrive.com, click on the checkbox of that folder and click on the 'Information' tab in the right column. In 'Folder Type' change it from Documents (the default) to Photos.
Now if you go to that folder in the Pictures Hub or the SkyDrive app, you should see the thumbnail for the video. But of course Windows Phone will only play the video files its supports natively, i.e. MP4 files.
Hope this works for you (it works for me!)

Awesome thanks!

Holy crap this is awesome. I have been looking for a way to control what albums / folders show up in the photo hub. This totally does this, along with the playing .mp4 benefit. Thanks!

Awesome sauce! Couldn't get it to work in the Pictures Hub at first, but somehow it did after I refreshed SkyDrive on my browser. Didn't work even after syncing my email and SkyDrive on my phone, or maybe it just happened to refresh on my phone afterwards too.
Edit// Oh right, I did try uploading a picture as well, maybe it refreshed after that.

Can't get it to work. Do you upload using the SkyDrive website or the app that was released last week. I used the app.

[UPDATE: Never mind. I had to restart the Skydrive program on my PC for some reason to get it to start the sync.]
I'm having trouble, too. I'm not sure what the correct sequence is.
I created a folder on my PC in the SkyDrive folder that was created when I installed the "app". Then I put a video file into it. I thought it would sync and create a parallel folder on the Skydrive site. Nothing happened. So I created a folder with the same name on Skydrive. The file from my PC didn't sync. I looked for a way to manually sync on both my PC and Skydrive but couldn't find any.
I also tried to drag my file to Skydrive but it complained it was more than 300k (IIRC).
Please tell me what the correct sequence is to get a new folder created on Skydrive and to sync files from my PC.

Only way I can get movies to play is view skydrive through the browser. Vids don't show in my pictures hub and on the skydrive app, it just gives me the vid details when I tap it.

To watch MP4 videos directly from SkyDrive, need right MP4...
Not all MP4 files are created alike, unfortunately.
My old videos are from a (gasp) Palm Pre.
Converted them to Microsoft Zune HD WMV movie format with "Any Video Converter" (freeware), and volia! I can watch them on my phone again (without taking up the space!!!)
For some reason the conversion to some of the other MP4 type files did not work as well as the WMV format for me. I don't pretend to be a videofile, but works well enough. They're not high quality vids in the first place.
Oh, and if you are having trouble with a "new folder" on your SkyDrive folder in your computer showing up online, try refreshing the SkyDrive page, or log/in out. It should pop up.

[Q] How to copy Google Play Movies you've purchased on a PC

I'm interested in keeping a backup of movie's I've purchased on my laptop computer, I would also like to be able to view them and play the movies on my laptop.
I believe movies purchased from the play store are located in this directory:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.videos/files/Movies/****.wvm
and the filename extension is *.wvm (not *.wmv)
If anyone would assist and tell me how these videos can be played on a laptop, I would be most appreciative.
BONUS: If you know how to convert a .wvm file into a more recognizable format (e.g. an .mp4 file), then even better ! please let me know. Thanks !

you can play them here, on your laptop/desktop https://www.youtube.com/purchases
you dont have to back it up, as it stays with your account "forever". all you have to do is open that page of youtube, select that movie, then itll play. i know of no way to play that format otherwise. they make it not so easy to copy and convert it, so you dont make copies and sell them.

Where are the Android videos stored.

I'm transferring files from Pixel 2 to my mac using Android File Transfer - but the m4 videos do not appear in the directory. I see DCIM with photos, but ... is there another app I should use??? Thanks

M4 videos?

.mp4 videos

Yes, .mp4 videos, pardon the pervious typo.
Hope you have a suggestion for downloading them via cable - not a cloud because I need to do the downloads where we don't have internet access. Thus the app issues need a solution via cable.

You're in the right folder. They should be labeled as VID_Date_###.mp4

I don't see .mp4 on the window provided by Android File Transfer - I searched for preferences in case that might effect it. I think my software is not allowing them to be seen. Puzzled to no end. Thanks for your reply.

Try ES File Explorer, it has sections on the homepage that organizes all your videos, images, or music files into one convenient page so you can copy them all at once.

When you plug your phone into your computer, you should be able to navigate the folder structure just like a hard drive. You shouldn't need any third party software to view the files. Try it on a Windows computer and see if that helps.
