YP-P2 Digital, i cannot install movie of dat format how can i install?

Hi,
You cannot retrieve the data once the device is formatted.
-The K.

Use Emodio, and emodio.com. Its better than the samsung program anyway. You can get them both at the samsung site, just look up by your model number and go under the pic and click the software tab

have u tried the reset pin on the back? give that a go.

ATM im having alot of problems with videos on my P2, originally when i first bought it, i am pretty sure it played almost every format, MP4 to flv, but not for sum unknown reason it doesnt, and even the software emodio, (which is ****) wont even recognise these videos and when it does it doesnt even transfer into the emodio library. Really ticking me off. P2=great but there is a few teething problems that you dont get with ipods.

Put the files on the root of the P2's folder. Unplug the P2. Leave it off for 2 mins, and power up.
Now, if this does not work, you probably need a config.dat file which you copy with the 2 firmware files onto your P2.

Open notepad
write:

YP-P2
XX XX UMS                              
     
          
Replace XX XX with the 2 letters in front of your P2's firmware (Settings>System>about). Example: EU EU UMS

and save as config.dat (remember all files)

well get the firmware updated to 5.10 which will make it work

You cant transfer dvd's to the device because of all the protected rights they have. However you can re purchase the movie at cinemanow.com and then transfer whatever movie you buy to samsung media studio and then transfer it to your device. Make shure however that you buy it for the yp p2
go to customer servise and click on the question that says what is cinema now compatable with or something like that. Then click on the website for the p2 nd then your golden. Just buy the movie, download it and transfer it. I already have pirates of the carribbean, i am legend and spiderman three

ya me it was all there one dat nowits not

its probably just the movie some of my movies turn out way to dark to watch because i picked a bad program or the wrong one sometimes they give a list of the same movie and check the reviews

It is possible to download text files onto the Samsung Yp-P2.
You can use the Samsung Media Studio to download the document onto the device. The only format I know works for sure is *.txt, haven't tried other formats
