Viewing Photos and Videos
Supported file types
When you
copy a photo or video from your computer
, you can save it directly on your handheld or
on an
expansion card
(sold separately) inserted into the expansion slot.
When you copy a photo to your handheld, it is saved in the JPG format. You can view photos in
popular formats such as JPG, BMP, TIFF (uncompressed), and GIF directly from an expansion card
inserted into the expansion slot.
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.

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
apps 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.
