How do I put videos on this? What types of files are acceptable?

It accepts Divx & Xvid (in AVI container, with MP3 audio, simple profile), MPEG-1, MPEG-2, WMV, and MJPEG (in AVI Container), there are certain limits for them all. You can buy videos online from here or from Walmart, you can record your own video, you can download video online from places like Google Video or YouTube, or you can rip your DVDs. Whether or not you will have to go through conversion varies. Refer to epizenter.net for how to do any of that. You'll need 3rd part software to rip any commercial DVDs, the Creative software won't do it for legal reasons, but you can get software for anything you need for free.

The files are mp4 AVC (H.264) so you should be able to edit with almost any software like iMovie or QuickTime directly without converting to an intermediate format. I tested with both and it's just drag and drop.

I am not an expert, but if you do video you will need a lot of storage. You might need 1T at least.

lots of dv tapes, its also nice to make sure you have the correct size filters. and make sure you have either hdmi cables or firewire hook up so you can put your video on your computer.

I agree with the other three answers. Use the SD card for viewing or downloading.

You can view the videos on the device's screen or using an SD card reader and uploading them to your computer. So, I guess the answer to your question is: without using either of those two methods, you can't. The easy solution, of course, its to buy a $2 SD card reader, or just use the device's screen.

I do not believe you can but you can use a program like Snap Shot Video Wizard. The removable SD card makes it easy to transfer video to your computer or just use the on board USB connector! Even if you get it done the quality will be low.

It has an option to connect to an FTP server, or email. If it's going to be a lot of videos, i'd recommend setting up the ftp server.

I connected the Dash Cam to my computer and downloaded a video to my hard drive. Otherwise, can't add any technical know how?

No I didn't. There are many format options for .avi and .mp4 videos. I used a video converter to try to find what was compatible; now I can't remember, as I lost interest soon after. I only display photo images now, and for that it's fine.You can have multiple 'albums' by placing each on a separate flash card. Using a typical USB multi-format reader with a card in each of 4 or more slots, plus the DP's own slots, you can select collections from quite a few sources.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

none that i have found. just keep in mind that u won't get exactly 160GB,s of free space, because the drive had to be programmed ie formatted in order to be used. but u should have ample space for your videos.

most likely the video you are trying to play is not supported by this machine like youtube video , you have to convert them to MP4

No, I don't think so. To save a specific video you need to copy it to an external USB drive .

I formatted a thumb-drive as Linux EXT4 format and copied a 500MB Mpeg-4 video to the drive. I unmounted it from my Linux system and plugged the drive into my Chromebook 14-Q USB3 port (on the left edge). When I did that a "file browser" opened up and it showed the file listing of my video. When I double-clicked on the MP4 file the video played with audio. I was very pleasantly surprised. Depending on your storage media format and your video recording format, your mileage may vary. Good luck!

need a little more info. What did you use for a player? What were the Samsung settings you used to make the video? how big is the file? ..... Try VLC, A very good (and free) player that runs on PCs. .....Oh, one more question, what type of computer are you using, PC,Mac, Android chromebook....?
