video loaded onto phone doesnt play
Aug 28 2008, 5:55 PM EDT
After converting mpeg files to 3pg files and adding them to my sidekick I am unable to play them. I get an error saying This file contains format errors and cannot be played. I have even tried different software to convert the file to 3pg. What am I doing wrong?

How to Convert YouTube Videos for the Sidekick August 9th, 2008Want to watch YouTube on your Sidekick? Well you’re out of luck for streaming, but you can convert the videos from YouTube to a Sidekick friendly format on your PC. Dave writes in to our comments about how to convert YouTube videos for watching on the Sidekick: Guys please listen up closely and read carefully. Ok, I did a little research and figured out how to Download the videos off youtube and convert them to mp4 so they can be added to your phone. Follow closely these steps and read carefully, its fairly simple. 1. Download Free Youtube to Ipod Converter Link: http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeYouTubeToiPodConverter.exe 2. Open the converter and Add a Youtube link to it. For Example…This random video I chose! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4UuTiK4a7o&fmt=18 (Now notice, that in the end of the link theres a “&fmt=18″. That is very important and It must be there, If it isn’t then add it onto the link” Simply place that in the Input URL. 3. Select the Output. Click Devices, Choose MP4 Mobile Phones, and select The Standard Quality. Then just simply edit where you want the video to be downloaded to and the name you want it to have and just download it. 4. Plug in your phone through the USB connector to your pc, and open the Music Folder. Simply click and drag the video in there. 5. Unplug your USB, and check your Music Player library, and there should be a video in the videos tab. Just click and your done 6 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |
