Hi Mark, I just wanted to let you know that I did manage at least to convert some of the files that I was unable at 1st to play in iTunes but they worked okay in Winamp.
The problem was that the file format wasn't shown/recognised, so I didn't really know what file type they were supposed to be, though I knew I was expecting to find music files of some kind. I have deduced that they were probably PDF which contained music. On the ones I managed to get to work, I am afraid I cheated a little and just tweaked the tags because I didn't really know enough to do anything else. Anyway, as I say, 2 or 3 worked and there were 2 or 3 that did not. I just want to thank you again for coming back to me and giving me some help. One day I may learn some more and get better results! Thanks anyway! :) At least, once I did to get them working on iTunes, I knew that I should manage to transfer them successfully and I was able to do this. It is also probable that I will get the PDF files to play successfully in voice dream reader, but I haven't used that for ages and will have to look up again just how to do it! That's for another day! Carol P Sent from my iPhone using MBraille On 4 Jan 2016, at 7:47 am, M.

Please keep in mind that in order for a video to be successfully transferred from your computer to your iOS device, it must first be playable in iTunes, on your computer. It is important to understand that the .MP4 designation is merely a container and not the encoding format used for the video. Without dwelling too deeply in the details, one can create a video file using several codexes and place any one of them in a .MP4 container. I, myself, have done this on several occasions for various reasons including disc space conservation. The short of it is, make certain you can play the video file from within iTunes on your computer, before attempting to transfer it to your iOS device. If it won't play from within iTunes, it will not transfer to any iOS device. Good Luck, Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2016 4:19 AM To: VI Phone Users Subject: Unable to transfer video to iPhone Hi all, I downloaded a number of three MP3s and videos before Christmas and am attempting now to put the videos into my phone. However, much as I try, although they are MP fours, they do not seem to want to go! I'm sure I am probably missing a step somewhere, so would be glad of some help with this, please! Other MP3s are transferring perfectly, so I'm not sure where the problem lies.
