Supported file types
When you capture a photo, you can save it directly on your handheld or on an
expansion card
(sold separately) inserted into the expansion slot. Photos are saved in the format JPG.
You can record and save videos to an expansion card
only. Videos are saved in
the format ASF (MPEG-4).
If you take a picture with a digital camera, or you find one on the web, it's likely your handheld can
display it. You can view photos in popular formats such as JPG, BMP, TIFF (uncompressed), and
GIF on your handheld or from an expansion card inserted into the expansion slot. You can also
view photos in their original format in the palmOne Media desktop application on your computer.
You can view videos on your handheld from an expansion card in MPEG-1 and ASF (MPEG-4) file
format. To view videos that are in other formats, convert them to a format that your handheld can
play. On Windows, use the palmOne Media desktop to do the conversion; then synchronize. On
Mac, drag the video to the Send To Handheld droplet; then synchronize.
Video clips that you capture with your Zire 72 handheld cannot be played on a
Mac. For more information, please go to the palmOne Support web site for your handheld.
