    So last night I downloaded a few videos off of video4blackberry. I downloaded them to my computer then dragged them into my video folder. I went to play them this morning, in the upper right hand corner in green it says Loading, then it will go to Red and say Error playing and a window pops up that says Media being played is of an upsupported format. Now I can watch video's I record and I can watch BabylonAd that come preloaded. The properties for the video from video4blackberry is .3gp. Do I need to convert these or something? Anyone else having this issue? BTW I am running .75. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

    Are you getting these videos from videos4blackberry.com? I went to that site and just found a bunch of links to other sites. Just curious because I would love a place to download videos. Thanks.

    I've used that website for quite some time I have the whole season of "The Office", 9 episodes of "Heroes", an episode of "The Wire" and more. All I do is download them to my computer and drag and drop to the first blackberry recognized as a drive on my computer this last time I had to pull the battery in order for the downloads to show when I went to video, but after that no problem. There is no need to convert the videos.

    So last night I just deleted the files on my computer, re-downloaded them and everything worked fine...Not sure what the problem was, but it works now...

    Anyone know how the media controls work? Can I get the action bar to pop up while video is playing? I was trying to fast forward to a specific spot, and the only way I could get the action bar up was hit the back arrow...

    Thanks

    just lightly tap the screen while the video is playing. the bar will appear then.

    can someone provide a direct link to this site you speak of? Never used it and I don't like what I pulled up was the right site.

    Another method....

    DL directly to your BB, use opera mini....

    I've done this for the entire season of Dexter, CSI...as well as others.

    Takes about 10...15 mins to dL and hour episode.

    I won't post the direct link because of the first rule of Fight Club. I will say that I have never heard of the .info domain before. Usually, things are .com

    This is indeed the best way to get videos from my site, OTA using Opera will work, sometimes....but as you guys have seen it often does cause errors with the downloads, so not ALWAYS reliable.

    Any event glad to know ppl that were having issues, got the fixed up, enjoy folks!

    Right click on the link and choose "save target as" or "save file as" and as it states on the site, it's not to be done from your device. Files need to be downloaded to a PC first, then transferred to your device via USB to your media card.

    They are quite small actually. I downloaded two episodes to my PC and tranfered to my media card. They were both less than 40 megs, unfortuately the resolution is a bit low for the storm. They would probably look great on a smaller screen.
