I cant figure out how to transfer a movie onto my rca opal 8gb

save the movie file as an AVI(audio, video interlaced) file in a folder you can find in the computer hard drive. go to opal and the pc library click on the import media tab. go to the folders tab and find the folder with the AVI file. click the import media button and there should be a screen showing the pharase transfering all compatible media. the files should then be found in the opal pc library under video. click the file you wish to upload, then click on the transfer to device tab. it should then begin converting the file, which may take a while. after the conversion it should begin transfering the file to the player.
ENJOY!,
