I have what may turn out to be a dumb question. I have several movies that I ripped to my computer. I am trying to copy them to my SD card on my h4155. I open the SD card on my device from my desktop, then drag and drop the movie file to the card. It starts to move the file, then about 25% into the copy, the progress bar goes blank, then starts over again. This just keeps going on and on. Is this the correct way to copy a movie to an SD card. I am able to move all my other data with no problems. Are there file size limitations on what you can copy to the SD card? Any help would be appreciated.

There should not have been file size limit. But have you made sure the file you are trying to copy is not bigger than the free space on the SD card?

A good idea to copy such a big file is to have a USB SD reader to connect to the PC instead of going through ActiveSync.

As ActiveSync will constant checking on the format to see whether it needs to reformat/convert the file or not. It's OK for small size file transfer, not large multimedia file.

USB reader doesn't cost much especially in the US.

Good luck.

I am copying a 214mb file to a blank formatted 1gb card. I will try copying it using the card slot on my epson printer. I just don't understand why it won't copy.

It is probably nothing to do with you or the file it is just Activesync up to its old tricks again.

As stinkypaul said just use a card reader.

I did. It copied and played just fine.

I purchased a pocket PC mainly to use as a movie player, (yes I know, what a waste ) and catch email while traveling. What is the best way to transfer movies to SD? from DVD, limewire type sites etc. And is it necessary to buy a converter?
I would soooo appreciate help with this.
