Introduction
The installation CD contains the device driver, Utility program and the user’s manual.
The Utility programs feature “Private Folder” and “Playlist” functions. The Private
Folder Manager utility allows you to set the folders in Mobile Video HDD as “Locked” or
“Public”. Unless the correct password was entered, the Locked Folders cannot be seen
during PC or TV operation, therefore your data are safely protected against unauthorized
access. On the other hand, the Playlist Manager utility allows you to arrange your favorite
media files in series, namely the “Playlist” function.
According to your operation system, read the following information:
‰ Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me has already supported the Mobile Video HDD with their
native driver. You can directly connect this unit to PC, and access it like a regular hard

About the File System of Hard Disk Drive
The Mobile Video HDD is pre-formatted as a FAT32 disk. You can directly access this drive
after it is connected to PC. If you want to re-partition the disk, please note:
‰ Although your operating system may support several different file systems, FAT32 or NTFS
partitions are strongly recommended. When using the Mobile Video HDD as a media
player, it can only read NTFS or FAT32 partition.
‰ Although you can create multiple partitions on the hard disk drive, when using the
Mobile Video HDD as a media player, it can only browse and play the media files
located in the first “Primary” partition.
See “How to Partition the Hard Disk Drive” section to create or to change the partition. The
following information will help you decide which file system is best for you.
NTFS File System
NTFS file system can support very large files (no 4GB size limitation for single file), and it is
compatible with Windows Vista/XP/2000. If your PC or laptop computer runs Windows
Vista/XP/2000 as its OS, partitioning and formatting the Mobile Video HDD as NTFS is
recommended.
FAT32 File System
The FAT32 file system is required if your computer uses Windows 98SE, Windows ME or the
Mac OS X operating systems. These operating systems do not support NTFS file system
(while Windows Vista/XP/2000 would support both FAT32 and NTFS file systems). The
FAT32 file system has some limitations, but it is supported by many different operating
systems, i.e. Windows 98/ME, Linux, Mac OS, etc. Even if your computer does support
NTFS partitions, a FAT32 partition might still be a better choice if you expect to copy files
between different operating systems.
Hard disk drives formatted as FAT32 volumes have the following limitations:
„ This drive cannot store any file larger than 4GB in size.
„ The Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 “New Partition Wizard” cannot
create FAT32 partition larger than 32GB in size. This limitation is due to the Windows
Vista/XP/2000 operating system, not the FAT32 file system. FDISK and other
disk-partitioning utilities can create FAT32 partitions much larger than 32GB. Despite
these limits in partitioning new FAT32 drives, Windows Vista/XP/2000 can still access
FAT32 partitioned drives larger than 32GB.
30
PC Operation
Media Files for Playback
When using the Mobile Video HDD as a media player, it can only browse and play back some
specific media file formats. Please read the following before using it as a media player.
When using the Mobile Video HDD as a media player, it can only browse and play
back media files located in the first “Primary” partition.
The Mobile Video HDD can play back the following media files:
‰ DVD movie files
‰ DivX/Xvid movie files: The filename extensions are AVI, DIVX, XVID
DivX/Xvid subtitle files: The filename extensions are SRT, SUB, IDX/SUB, SMI, PSB, ASS, SSA
‰ VCD files: The filename extension is DAT
‰ MPEG1 / MPEG2 files: The filename extensions are MPG, MPEG, M2P, VOB
‰ Audio and music files: The filename extensions are WAV, MP3,
‰ Photo and graphic files: The filename extensions are JPG, JPEG
The Video file Recorded by a Capture Card
If you use a capture card or TV card to record TV programs, the recorded files will usually
be encoded in MPEG1 or MPEG2 format (the filename extensions are MPG, MPEG, and M2P).
To copy these media files, just create a folder in the Mobile Video HDD, and then copy these
files into that folder.
If your hard disk uses NTFS file system, the recorded file is probably larger than
4GB, so please partition the Mobile Video HDD as NTFS to store the large file.
The Video Recorded by DV
To play back the video recorded by a DV, you’ll need to transfer the DV files to a computer
and convert it to MPEG1, MPEG2 or DivX file format, and then copy the converted files into
a folder in Mobile Video HDD.
To transfer the DV file to computer, you can:
„ Use the utility bundled with the DV. A DV is often bundled with some utility for user to
transfer the DV file to computer, and to encode it into other file format. Please use this
utility as your first choice.
„ If your computer is equipped with a capture card, connect DV’s AV-Out to the capture
card’s AV-In, and start capturing the video from the DV.
31
PC Operation
To convert the DV file already stored in the computer, you can use a convert program such
as CyberLink PowerDirector, Ulead Media Studio Pro, and Ulead VideoStudio to manage this
job done.
The Other Media Files
The other media files, such as WMV, ASF or MOV files, can’t be played back on Mobile Video
HDD. Please use a convert program, such as Ulead Video ToolBox or WinAVI
Videoconverter, to convert these files into MPEG1, MPEG2, or DivX format. Then copy the
converted files into the folders in Mobile Video HDD.
32
PC Operation
Using the Utility Programs
The utility programs contain “Playlist Manager” and “Private Folder Manager”. The Playlist
Manager creates a collection of media files which can be played contiguously; while the
Private Folder Manager allows you to set specific folders in the Mobile Video HDD as “Locked
Folders”, which will not be displayed on TV or PC operation until a correct password is entered.
You can use this program to protect your precious data from unauthorized accesses.
The “Playlist Manager” supports Windows Vista/XP/2000; the “Private Folder Manager”
supports Windows Vista/XP/2000/Me/98SE.
Playlist Manager
