How to Download a Video to an MP4 Player
To transfer downloaded videos from your computer to an MP4 player, you first need to convert the video into the MP4 format. Many videos are in other formats---such as AVI or WMV---that might be incompatible with your player. You might also need to convert the file to the specifications of the MP4 player. Free conversion tools can be downloaded to accomplish this.
