Very Newbie with a pmp-140!

[Roni-r44]

Hi, I just bought a pmp-140 for my daughter for her birthday and I don't know how to put films on! I've skimmed thru the posts for ideas but it all seems to be way over my head. Can any one help a simpleton?
Many thanks.....

You will need to encode the film to a format the PMP will be able to understand by using a program like iriverter. Download and install iriverter, run it (and in the menu select PMP as the profile) and select the file/DVD you want to convert, then click convert. Once the video/s have converted you just drop the files onto the PMP and they will play!

I know I'm being very thick here - I have iriverter and I converted an entire disc of harry potter - how do you drop files? where do they go when they are converted?

Just connect the PMP and it should appear in My Computer as a drive. Just copy and paste the files onto there (and you will have selected an output file when you converted the disc).

If you are asking where iriverter puts the files once it converts them, you actually specify the "output" folder. You will find "avi" files in the folder you specified once the conversion is complete.

From windows file explorer, just navigate to that output folder and right-click the file you wish to copy and select "copy." Make sure the PMP is powered on and its USB cable is connected (small end of cable goes to the port labeled "USB 2.0 device" on the PMP and the large end to an available USB port on your computer). Windows will detect your PMP and give it a drive letter.

At this point you can navigate to the new drive letter and open the "video" folder on your PMP and paste the file you copied earlier into that video folder. Once copied you can disconnect the PMP's USB cable and try to play it back.

the pmp doesn't put them anywhere and you don't have to put them in a certain place. you can drag and drop them wherever you want on the pmp.
