Video's

[slwilliamssr]

Does anyone know how to save a video from the Atrix to your computer. What I get when I try to just move it is a picture and not the video. Any help would be great.

what do you exactly mean as a picture? is it a video made with the atrix's camera? usualy all videos and pictures are located on sd card/dcim/camera.... unless you specified another directory..

When I save the video to my computer it saves it as a single photo not as the video I took with the Atrix.

ohh... I see... then the problem is not with the phone, it looks like your PC doesnt recognize the 3gpp format that smartphone uses to save the videos. try this: right click on the transfered file- open with- windows media player. or alternatively you may try to download VLC player and open the file the same way... let me know if it worked...

Well I tried all the above as well as downloading VLC player. The viedo play fine from my phone but still only opens as a picture no matter what program I open it with. This is really odd.

what is the video's file extention? is it 3gpp? you running windows on your pc right? what version? have you tried to play this video from any other computer?
also double check where you are copying the video file from, there are two locations on the phone internal phone storage ( will usualy show up as MB860 on your computer)/DCIM/thumbnails. this folder will have previews of all pictures and videos taken with your phone in jpg format. the location you need to copy the video is usualy the SD card unless otherwise specified. make sure that the file youre copying has the 3gpp extention....
