Copying mp4 movies onto Nexus 7

[James Changstein]

I have been busy converting and copying DVDs onto my Nexus 7 under a new folder I named 'movies'.

All went well except that the nexus shows one copyof every movie under two different file paths....

When I open up MX Player it shows two copies of everything...... If I delete one copy of the two, both will disappear.?.. I then wiped out all the movies and copy again from PC to N7, same thing, two copies of every movie...

Anyone had the same issue? Any idea of what is going on?

Thanks..

If you copy over a 100mb file does it take up 200mb on your device or just 100?

I think this is a multi-user conflict. In Astro File Manager, you will see a directory labeled 'sdcard0' and 'emulated'. My theory is this happens so that if two users install the same application, only the app will be copied, not the user data.

The movies are under two folders... But I think they are the same copy.... One folder is under /legacy/movies while the other emulated/0/movies

MX player sees them as two separate sets of folders and displays the two both.....

Any idea what I can do to avoid this? I created the 'movies' folder...... What is the default folder to place videos?

The MX Player update apparently fixed the issue... Nexus 7 no longer displays "twin" copies of the movies...

Fixed for me too.

On another note, what application do you use to copy DVDs?
