Send a WMV file to your cell phone.
WMV stands for Windows Media Video. In order to play this file in your cell phone, you have to convert it first into a format that is compatible with your cell phone's media player. This can be done with the help of a video converter. Once you convert the format, you can easily send the file to your cell phone using a USB data cable.
Instructions
1. Download a mobile phone video converter such as Format Factory. The application converts WMV format into video formats supported by most cell phones. For downloading the converter, see the Resource section.
2. Install the converter application and open it. Click on the "Video" button. Now click on "All to mobile device" tab. You will see another window appear on the screen.
3. Click on the video format that is supported by your cell phone. For instance, if you have an iPhone, the format specifications will include 380-by-420 MPEG-4. If you are unsure about the dimensions of your phone's screens, check the phone packaging.
4. Click "OK" and then click on "Add File" in the new window. A browser window will appear on which you will click on the WMV file. Click "OK" to come back to the main screen and click "Start" at the top of the page. This will convert the WMV file into the format that your phone will be able to play.
5. Once the WMV video is converted, connect your phone's USB data cable to your phone and the computer.
6. Go to the "Start" menu on your computer screen and open "My Computer." Locate your phone's storage folder here and open it.
7. Go back to the folder that contains the converted version of the WMV file. Right-click on this file and select "Copy" from the options. Now go back to the phone's storage folder, right-click in the open window and select "Paste" from the options.
8. Disconnect the USB data cable from your computer and phone. You will have the video in your phone now.
