Re: How do i transfer videos from windows to my pixi??????????

Your video clips need to be in a video format supported by TouchPad, otherwise they won't even display in the Pictures & Videos app. Information on supported video formats is available here: http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/touchpad/touchpad/wifi/solutions/article/22138_en.html#N10171

What type of video clips are they (what's after the . in the filename) and where did you get them from?

Re-encoding video is outside the scope of this forum topic, but I'd be happy to link you to some guides online. I personally use a great program called VLC that can play video/music files and also re-encode them into other formats. You can download VLC for free from here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

To re-encode your videos, follow the steps in this guide: http://tom.zickel.org/vlcmp4/

You'll have to do a little homework on what size the videos should be. I have no idea what resolution they are at now, but you'll want to make sure they are resized to fit the TouchPad screen (no wider than 1024 pixels and no taller than 768 pixels).

Re: How do i transfer videos from windows to my pixi??????????

the instructions are still from an old version but the download is a new one, it's very difficult fishing around trying to figure out how to convert it...
