You will still need a Laptop to accomplish this. A flashdrive is not self powered, nor an external hard-drive. This is why you need to hook up the Flip Video Camera to the Laptop, hook up the flashdrive, or external hard-drive then go to "My Computer" click and open the Flip Video Camera, dive into the folder containing your video files then open up your flashdrive/external hard-drive folder and drag and drop the files. The software makes it easier, within the Flip Software select all the files you want to save then choose "export" or "save as" and choose a destination ex. flashdrive/external hard-drive.

Dear Windy,To be honest, I cannot give you an answer because I have never been able to download info into the MP4 referenced. I tried several times when I first received the MP4 but was unsuccessful. Since then I have mothballed the device. I am tech challenged but, thanks to your inquiry, will try to use the MP4 again.Thanks,Richard S.

You cannot download movies to the TV directly since there is no hard drive or usable flash memory. There are no TV's available that support Adobe Flash 11 or newer due to Adobe restricting their software to computers only. There is no work around for this.

Deborah,We still have not been able to use the Flash drive that we bought from amazon. We cannot recommend it to you until we receive assistance with downloading the app that is required to use the flash drive. Certainly is not simple and easy as most other flash drives we have has experience with.

I formatted a thumb-drive as Linux EXT4 format and copied a 500MB Mpeg-4 video to the drive. I unmounted it from my Linux system and plugged the drive into my Chromebook 14-Q USB3 port (on the left edge). When I did that a "file browser" opened up and it showed the file listing of my video. When I double-clicked on the MP4 file the video played with audio. I was very pleasantly surprised. Depending on your storage media format and your video recording format, your mileage may vary. Good luck!

You can * burn it to a disc * copy it to a jump/usb drive * if your computers are networked you can access it from your laptop * failing the above, you can download it to your laptop

What is your usage? If just to back up the content of your SD card - it is great tool, I can recommend it. I was quite happy to make back-ups of my videos during holiday, taken by car-security camera. Easy to use and reliable. But do not expect to play video files on this device.

You should be able to plug it in any USB port on your desktop or laptop. The computer will ask you what you want to do. Just open files and search for the video that's on the disk.

The camera acts like a flash drive when you connect it to the computer, and you can go into the folders and copy all the pictures and videos. They should all be there and copy easily. If you use the software for downloading there is a video option to download into that tool. I do it using drag using Windows Explorer and drop to MY PICTURES in the folder I like.

No and it is not good on the Internet. You can use a USB had or thumb drive but t It doesn't do much else.

When I installed my sketch tablet on my computer, I downloaded the files onto a flash drive then transferred the files to my computer. Maybe try the same thing?

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

The usb port is just a port. Not a driver. It can play videos though your computer, DVD player, etc. It will not play directly from a thumb drive.

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

You have to download. The problem is we couldnt get anything to download. We tried video, music and pictures. Nothing worked.
