An MP4 file is a proprietary file format for computer video files designed by Apple. It is the standard video file format used by the iPod line of digital media playing devices, though similar devices from other brands are also capable of playing these files. To put one of these videos on your MP4-compatible digital media player, all you have to do is "sync" your device with your computer's file library. This takes only a couple of seconds to do.
Instructions
1. Open the computer program used to transfer files from your computer to your digital media player. For example, if you have an iPod, open iTunes.
2. Add the MP4 file(s) that you want to transfer to your digital media player to your computer program's file library. Do this by selecting the "File" menu at the top of the program window and selecting "Add Files."
3. Connect your digital media player to your computer using the included USB link cable. Plug one end of the cable into your computer and the other into the appropriate port on your device.
4. Sync your digital media player with your computer. On some devices, such as Microsoft's Zune, you will have to physically press the "Sync" button in the computer program with the device connected. Other devices, such as Apple's iPod, will sync automatically when connected to a computer.
5. Disconnect the digital media player from your computer. The MP4 video file(s) will now be stored on your device's internal hard drive and can be accessed through its main menu.
