Downloading VIDEOS from Fascinate to computer - using V-Cast (and QuickTime 7)

[mlmlmlml]

I downloaded VCast and QuickTime7.  I tried downloading video from my Fascinate to my PC computer.  It came in with the picture that shows on my video (on my phone) - with just sound - no video.  How do I get the video?

m, I just copy and paste from the phone to the cp. I don't use vcast or verizon media manager. QT "should" just play the movie with no problems.

Hi:  Thanks for your reply.  How do I copy and paste videos from my Fascinate?

the phone acs like a thumb drive when you plug it in and click copy files from the drop down menu on your fascinate, from there, if you can't figure it out, you're on your own.

From there you can treat the SD card in your fascinate just like any other drive on your computer. You can copy and paste or drag and drop to or from each device.

M, Did you get it figured out?
I assumed you knew how to use the usb cable that came with the phone... connect your phone to your cp with the cable, slide down the notification bar at the top of your phone screen, select copy files, mount, and then your cp will treat your phone just like another drive. Go to my computer on your cp and you will see it there. From there, locate your file on your phone and either copy and paste or drag and drop the file to your cp. Hope that helps!

I plugged in the cord between the Fascinate and PC; I "mounted" it - and when I saw my video file on my "H" drive, I tried playing it but it only plays sound. If I go to my "Gallery" on my Fascinate to "play" my video, there is nothing there because it says "No Items" "No SD card detected." This is very frustrating. I thought that by downloading VCast and QuickTime, I would then have the capability of playing the video along with the audio. HELP!

You can't access the sd card through the phone while the sd card is connected/mounted to the computer as a disk drive.

M, Did you try and copy/paste the file from your "H" drive to your cp and then double click on it?
If your phone is not mounted, will the video play on your phone?
