CHAPTER 9 Viewing Photos and Videos
Supported file types
You can copy a photo or video from your computer and save it directly on your handheld or on an
expansion card
(sold separately) inserted into the expansion slot.
You can view photos in popular formats such as JPG, BMP, TIFF (uncompressed), and GIF on your
handheld. On a Windows computer, when you copy a photo in a popular format to your handheld
using the Media desktop application from within Palm
®
Desktop software, it is saved on your
handheld in its original format. If you copy a photo in a different format, it is saved on your
handheld in JPG format.
On a Mac computer, all photos you copy by dragging them onto the Send To Handheld droplet
icon are saved on your handheld in JPG format.
To view a video on your handheld, on a Windows computer, open Media from within
Palm
®
Desktop software, add the video, and then synchronize to send the video to your handheld.
On a Mac computer, drag the video to the Send To Handheld droplet, and then synchronize. The
video is converted to a format (ASF (MPEG-4)) your handheld can play and is optimized for
viewing on the handheld.
For both Windows and Mac computers, note that there are numerous video formats, and even
many variations within the ASF (MPEG-4) format. Not all types can be converted to a format that’s
viewable on your handheld. If you can’t open and view a video in the desktop Media application
on a Windows computer, you won’t be able to view the video on your handheld.
On a Windows computer, Windows Media Player is required for Media to play videos
that have been prepared for playback on your handheld. If you do not have Windows Media Player
on your computer, use the link on the software installation CD to download the application.
(Download requires Internet connection; additional fees may apply.)

Did You Know?
If you view a photo in a
popular format from an
expansion card inserted
into your handheld’s
expansion slot, the photo
remains in its original
format.
Tip
If you want to carry a
video on your handheld
to view on another
computer, use palmOne
File Transfer (Windows)
or Drive Mode (Mac) on
your computer. These
applications transfer the
video to your handheld in
its native format with no
conversion, so you can
view it on the computer in
the format you prefer.
