How to get a video off a captivate phone

[Copper01]

Hey,

I took a impromtu video at my daughter's birthday party the other day with my Captivate. Now I'm stumped on how to get the video downloaded to a PC for my wife.

I've have allshare for a sharing app on the phone but the file is a bit big to share. I've tried uploading to YouTube but the connection keeps timing out.

Anyone have any ideas?

If you have not installed the USB Drivers, go ahead and do that first. I don't think that this is really necessary on Vista or Windows 7 though.

Use the USB cable and plug it into your PC and then when the phone ask, select Mass Storage, then go to the notification bar on top and pull it down, then tap USB Connected, then mount.

Open up your file manager and you should have a removable disk drive.

Then you can just use the file manager to copy it to your pc.
When you are done, just eject the drive and then unplug the USB cable.
