Shaun’s Notes

I was asked by me2downhere on a previous post how to add video to the LG Chocolate Spin vx8550 so I thought it deserved its very own post.

Background Info:
All video files created by the LG Chocolate Spin vx8550 are .3G2 format and therefore for best results only play .3G2 videos on the phone. I have played multiple .mp4 videos on my phone, however, the video is extremely choppy.

STEPS:
1. Convert video file(s) to .3G2 file format.
2. Transfer the file(s) onto phone.

Step 1: Convert video file(s) to .3G2 file format.

• obtain an application that converts videos to .3G2
  I use Pazera Free Video To 3GP Converter (available from download.com)
• convert the video(s) to .3G2 using the software
  for the Pazera software run ‘videoto3gp.exe’ and ‘Add’ all your files and then ‘Convert’

Step 2: Transfer the video(s) onto your phone
via Bluetooth

• connect your phone to your computer via bluetooth
• transfer the videos to ‘MyVideos’ folder

via USB and BitPim (using phone drive space)

• connect your phone to your computer via USB
• open BitPim
• through the Filesystem browse to : “/brew/shared/myvideo”
• upload your videos there

via USB onto SD card in the phone

• connect your phone to your computer via USB
• on your phone from the menu go to : “Tools” -> “USB Massage Storage” and click “OK”
• your phone will now be recognized as a Removable Storage Device by your computer
• open the Removable Storage Device
• transfer all videos to ‘my videos’ folder
