Watching video content on the T-Mobile G1

There is no video player provided on the G1, but a 3rd party developer provides one in the current Android Market and it works pretty well as you can see.

How do I get the video on the sd card? When I plug my phone up with the usb cord it only shows albumthumbs amazon dcim downloads and music

That's all you will see. I simply created a new folder called Movies and then dragged and dropped some that I had converted on my PC. The Video Player application is available again on the Android Market so you should be all set.

Did they remove the video player from the store cause i just got mine but its not in the store?

The Video Player just popped back up on the Android Market. Google reset the Market and now most all the apps that were there before are back with more added too.

NOTE: You will not be able to access the sdcard from the g1 until you unplug the USB after you're done.

Once the video is uploaded into the sdcard, rightclick the sdcard drive and select "eject". Now remove the USB cable, Select "Video Player" icon in your apps, if needed select "dcim" folder, and touch the video to play. Similar can be done with music,or pictures just changing the instruction to "My Music" or "My Pictures" on your pc and also opening "Music" or "Pictures" icon on your g1.

Find and select the video(s) on your pc make sure they are mpeg4 file format.

Plugin your g1, and if you have installed the drivers, you need to goto your g1 and hold the USB icon on the top of the screen for a couple seconds. It should expand downwards, then pull it down. open the USB connected by toucing it. Touch the "Mount" button on the screen. A dialog box should open, select "open folder to view files". open "dcim" folder. Paste the video in that folder.

Quick question.

By rotating it, it shows it to the landscape mode? Or did you slide the screen up? Sorry, couldn't tell with it being dark and all lol

If it helps you, i use something thats called "anyvideoconverter" works very well. if you need help understanding how to use it just look it up on youtube.

[princetonbanks]

G1 because you can either choose at anytime a virtual kb or the real kb..with the behold you can only choose the virtual kb..
