How do I add videos to my Palm Pre?

exeicker · 07/15/2009, 11:32 PM

I have been trying to upload videos to my device using the format mpeg4 but they don't play on my palm. Is there something I'm not doing right?. I tried to use Itunesalso to transfer the video-files to my phone but it tells me all videos (3 different formats wav, mpg & mpeg4) are not suported by palm pre. I first thought you will automatically add them to your device using the explorer window but now I realized it's more than just that. Can anyone please walk me through? I've been trying to figure this out since I got my pre. THANKS!!!!

Dude, there are like 5,000 posts about this already..

You use a program called HANDBREAK and put it on the default setting for iPhone.

Works pretty well if you don't mess with the settings (at all)

I really looked just about everywhere here but I didn't find anything...i mean I'm pretty sure there were threads about this but there are thousands of them....so one question. Once I have downloaded the handbrake software, do i install it in the palm or what do you do if you have done it?

Try Double Twist, it works very well and is simple to use.
Works for Photos, Video and Music...very cool.

You use Handbrade to encode your video on your computer, and the copy the encoded vid to your Pre...works great!
