Hi viges

Your iTunes DRM protected video m4v has to be converted to mp4 to play on your N95, but I wouldn't like to recommend the best video converter for this process.

It they are M4V and they're not DRM protected then just copy the files to your device.

ITunes usually stores the files under C:\Users\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Downloads

So just copy to your E: drive. Just keep in mind that if they are VGA resolution they may not play in the N95.

iTunes music is also stored in the same folders as the video so just copy the M4a tracks to the N95 My Music folder.

If the tracks are DRM protected then no dice. If the tracks are apple lossless then they won't work.

thank you I'll give it a try

[viges]

please can you tell me where to N95 8GB my music folder

[el_loco]

The My Music folder should be in the Mass Storage device (usually E:\). But which letter is done for it depends on your PC setup.

hey El Loco
The itunes videos are mpeg4
the video manager on the pc suite runs a scan of my
c drive but won't find them what am I doing wrong?

I didn't say to use Nokia Video Manager.

Just connect the phone using Mass Storage (File Transfer) from the USB menu that comes on when you plug the USB cable.

Then a new Hard Drive will be visible in your PC (like your C:\ and D:\ drive). That new Drive is the Phone mass storage.

Now open Windows File Explorer and go to the folder in your pc where iTUNES stores music and videos (as instructed above).

Now select some videos or songs you want to copy to your device.

Now go to Edit and then Copy.

Now browse to the New drive that was created when you connected the phone and select the appropriate folder (My Music or My Videos depending if it's video or music) and then select Edit then Paste. Now a window should open saying Copying and then an estimated time.

Wait until this finishes. Now find the icon to STOP devices (in XP or 2000 it's a gray box with a green arrow on top of it) in the tray (bottom right corner of your windows desktop), click on it and select "Safeley Remove USB mass storage device" wait until you get a bubble saying "It's now safe to disconnect" or similar, now disconnect the cable.

Hopefully this is clear now.

Hi El Loco

Must be resolution problem I think :-?

[el_loco]

Then I think that either:

a) The videos are not compatible format (resolution, codec version, bitrate)

b) The videos are DRM protected.

Suppose that at least their AAC encoder is good though. iTunes only support MP4, H264 video, WMV. You can try the DVD to iTunes and Video to iTune
