How to Transfer MP4 Video Files to Your MP3 Player with Video Capabilities

Many portable media devices now combine music playback with basic video viewing features, offering a versatile entertainment experience. If you own an older MP3 player that supports video playback—such as the model linked here—and wish to add MP4 video files to it, this guide will walk you through the process.

Understanding Your Device

Before beginning, it’s important to confirm your device’s specifications. Some MP3 players with video features support specific file formats (commonly MP4) and have particular requirements for their storage media, like SD cards. The device in question is a compact, portable media player that supports both audio and video playback, as detailed here.

Step 1: Prepare the MicroSD Card

Your device relies on an inserted microSD card for storage. If you’ve recently replaced or formatted the SD card and see no videos on it, ensure the card is properly formatted and free of corrupt files:

Insert the SD card into your computer using a compatible card reader.
Format the card to FAT32 or exFAT, depending on the device’s specifications (refer to your user manual or product details).
Create a dedicated folder (if preferred) to organize media content on the SD card.

Step 2: Convert and Prepare Your Video Files

Your device predominantly supports MP4 files for video playback. If your videos are in different formats, convert them to MP4:

Use video conversion software such as HandBrake, Any Video Converter, or VLC Media Player.
Ensure the output settings match the device’s specifications—typically H.264 video codec with AAC audio codec.
Keep the resolution within the device’s supported range to ensure smooth playback.

Step 3: Transfer Files to the SD Card

Once your videos are converted:

Connect the SD card to your computer.
Copy the MP4 video files into the designated folder on the SD card.
Safely eject the card once copying is complete.

Step 4: Insert the SD Card into Your MP3 Player

Ensure the device is powered off before inserting the SD card.
Insert the card securely into the designated slot.
Turn on the device and navigate to the video playback section to locate your new files.
