downloading video clips/pictures to PPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

I am unable to download video clips or still pictures to
my pocket PC (Ipaq), although I have the windows media
player installed on the PPC. The free memory in the main
memory is about 12 MB, however I have 128 MB card. I wish
to know how to download video clips or pictures to the
PPC/card directly.

Thanks

Syed.

I agree that the third alternative is the best. If it is a large file,
Activesynch will get half way through and then restart over again. I found
the only way to move movies of any length was with a card reader.
