CHAPTER 9 Viewing Your Photos and Videos
Reformatting files and copying supported file types
You can view photos in popular formats such as JPG, BMP, TIFF, and GIF on your device. You can
view videos in formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-4, MJPEG+ADPCM, and MJPEG+PCM.
When you copy a photo or video from your computer to your device using LifeDrive™ Manager
(Windows), you can choose to reformat the photo or video to a format that works best for viewing
on your device. There are numerous video formats, and not all types can be converted to a format
that’s viewable on your device.
On a Mac, you can use the Send to Handheld
droplet to transfer files to your device. The files are
reformatted to a format that works best for viewing on your device.
If you choose to reformat the file, the reformatted version is renamed so that it does not overwrite
the original version on your computer when you synchronize. Only the new reformatted file is
synchronized; the original file is not synchronized.
In LifeDrive Manager, you can also choose Keep synchronized, which allows you to keep the photo
or video in its original format and update it during synchronization.
You can store your photos and videos on your device in the Photos & Videos folder. View and
access the files using the Files application on your device. You can also view the files using
LifeDrive Manager
(Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows) on your computer. You can
manage items on the hard drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on,
using LifeDrive Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows), or Files on your device.
