How to Put Videos on My RCA Opal
RCA designed the Opal as a budget-friendly portable media player. With its 1.5-inch full-color screen, the Opal lets you enjoy your favorite video clips and movies while on the go. It can store up to eight hours of video on its internal 2GB drive, according to RCA. All video files must first get converted to the Opal's .SMV video format before the player can display them. RCA includes an automatic converter program to make the conversion and transfer process a matter of just a couple clicks.
