1) Make sure your MP3 player is connected to the computer 2) Go into 'My Computer' and find an Icon for the Sansa e250 3) Click it and you should see various files named 'MUSIC', 'PHOTOS', 'VIDEO' etc 4) Drag your video file into the 'VIDEO' file (only if it is compatible) If you have not converted the video file or it isn't a Quicktime Movie File (mov) then use the Sansa Media Converter, which can be found on the cd that comes in the box. I hope this helps.
