Moving downloaded movies to SD card

[monicakm]

I came here to let you guys know of my findings on SGN XDA site. Here is my thread:
[Q] There Has GOT to be a Way...Convert Samsung Movies - xda-developers
As some of you have found out today, yes you CAN. Remember the lady tech support at Samsung said she does it all the time? She was the first one that said it could be done.
Well, I guess she knew what she was talking about but she wasn't too good at telling us HOW
Now, I've yet to figure out how to break the drm and put them on a DVD to play in my Bluray but if that's not possible, at least they're not taking up room on my internal memory and according to the answer I got all we need is a MHL 2.0 adapter/allsharecast hub to play up to TV

If anyone gets additional information, that would be great!
Samsung have me another set of "rewards" when I traded my 16GB version in for the32GB version. So I have $50 in Google and $100 in Samsung. I need ts support to help me with the Samsung part but Google acct shows just under $50.

Pardon me if I'm dumb, but cant you just plug USB cable into tablet, and a PC and its just a extended memory device and you can drag and drop files at will.... Playing may be a altogether different item though....

Yes Dale, I got my pyv onto my window's desktop but haven't found a way to play them yet. I've been meaning to ask the guys over one XDA for weeks and just go around to it last night. Hoping someone will let us know if there is a program that can remove the DRM AND covert for video format. But for now, I'm happy to have them off my internal memory!

That is why people pirate movies, TV shows, etc. Why jump through a bunch of hoops to consume media you purchased if it is easier to pirate? Not that I am condoning that behavior.

The napster generation. People pirate movies and music because they don't want to pay, don't value the effort in creating music, and think they can get away with it. I don't condone it either.

Actually most people will purchase movies, music, etc if 1) the material is easily accessible, 2) there is easy playback on devices and the way people use the material, and 3) the material is priced reasonably. This fact is born out my the huge success of iTunes and the bit torrent data when comparing countries that have material that meet the above and those that do not. Sure there will always be people that pirate but you can greatly reduce the numbers through smart and reasonable actions.

Is it on .avi or .mp4 format? Try playing it using VLC app.

what players have you tried? Try MX Player/Pro
Can you tell us where you found the Google Play movie on your tablet? I know where Samsung puts theirs but not Google.
Thanks!

Of course you can, just remember to make sure the downloaded movie format is playable on your device. For example MKV and AVI files cannot be watched on iPad because it only accepts MP4, MOV and M4V videos. In order to transcode video format, you could try Pavtube Ultimate. BTW, make sure on single movie is under 4GB, most portable devices only recognizes SD cards formatted in FAT32, that limits a file size less than 4GB.

hello, maybe I can shed some light on your situation. while previous comments are correct that you can't move a movie or video from your internal storage to SD card after you download it, you can (assuming you're using the Google play store) set a download location for your videos, (I know because I do this with all my videos that I buy) and the way that you set this, is once you buy a movie or tv episode before you click download click the menu button next to the video(it should be three dots or three lines) and then click settings, scroll down to the bottom and one of the last three options should be storage preference or storage something, just click on that and click SD and that should set all your videos to do the same, happy downloading hope it helped

there is actually a way to download movies/TV shows right to your Externa Sd card , if you're downloading from Google play store. all you do is after you buy the video go under settings (settings button next to the video) and go down to storage, click on it and click SD and your videos will automatically download to your card instead of internal storage.
hope this helped

Yes, jut tested this too and it works 1. Open Google Play Movies and TV App on your Android device (mine is a Samsung Tab S) 2. Click the 3 lines on the top left to open the menu. 3. Settings 4. Downloads: Storage - select SD card. Done!

I have the galaxy tab e and purchased blue ray with the digital copies, how can I move them to the SD card?

 

[JackStrazzanti]

Actually this can be done if you follow these steps

>open google play
Go to google play movies
Go to my google play movies
Click the three lines in the top left corner
Scroll down to settings
Click on storage
Click to sd card
So then after that every movie you download on google play movies will download to your sd card
