Hi There

I can understand your issue. When you sy unable to transfer the videos to your samsung MP3 player, then the native file format would be .SVI format. So please go through this link and download the SVI setup and convert the file then transfer into your mp3 player. The link is :

Please revert for further clarifications..

Hey! As far as I know that the samsung yp-s3 only supports a fairly small number of file formats- MP3, WMA, MPEG4(SVI), JPEG, TXT. Therefore, you need to covnert your video to MP4 video format to watch it on your samsung yp-s3. As for the converter, you can have a free try of this Wondershare Video Converter which can help you convert various video format to any video/audio format including MP4 format. This video converter is very easy-to-use. For how to use it to convert videos, you can also refer to the official guide at: http://www.dvd-ripper-copy.com/guide/video-converter-guide.html#181.
Hope that will be of help to you.

After 2 days of figuring out, I came with the solution today. Most probably your computer is running under windows vista. well emodio doesnt support such to do the transfer. What I did is downloaded a program (free) called "any video converter". All videos have to be converted in WMV extension file, so emodio can recognize and does the conversion to SVI ( the yp-s3 extension). So after you convert the original files into WMV files, take the converted files and add them into emodio. Emodio will convert it into SVI, but the transfer to the MP3 will failed. This is the magic:

close emodio. Leave your MP3 conected. Go to where emodio saves the converted files. When u go to that folder, you will see your files, but you can tell your computer wont be able to play it, as the files icon is just with a white background. Just drag it into the YP-S3 video folder and voila! Disconnect your MP3 from the computer, turn it on and enjoy your videos!!!!!!!!!!

GOT IT!!!!!

Download the emodio software, install and add files from DESKTOP!!!!! (copy there). Once into Emodio, click the arrow over to convert and transfer. Let it convert and try to transfer.....after it reports failed to transfer, go to default folder for converted file(win7 is documents/video/emodio/videos) copy to s3/s3/video.

done

download the emodio exe from the www.emodion.com it works as the software from samsung but for some strange reason the second don't work.it works fine. you have to convert your videos to put it to the mp3.do it with emodio and transer.enjoy

Download the Emodio software. This fixed my problem but it was a huge download for a dial-up connection at nearly 60 megs. But worth the 5+ hour wait.

I can now convert and transfer video! Good luck.
