Hi,

Just copy all your movies to your tablet (preferably in a folder)
Download and install MoboPlayer from Market to watch your movies.

Bon Voyage

hi,

ah... you have to install USB drivers on your laptop first.
Grab the usb drivers for windows from here
so when you connect your tablet to your laptop the tablet should show up as an external drive

cheers

i just don't know what is going on. i have them drivers and still nothing. i just dont get it.when i connect the USB to the tablet it shows it as a storage device but when i go to drag pic or movies it dont let me..knowing me its probably a stupid setting or something im not doing right.. so now im trying to put the movies on a USB Flash Drive and see if it will work that way. thanks for the help so far

Hi,

install wifi explorer and transfer using wifi network?

install wifi explorer in your tablet.
make sure both your laptop and tablet are connected to the same wifi network
launch the wifi explorer app on your tablet
launch your internet explorer on your laptop
type in the file explorer web URL <http://199.168.x.xxx:8000> in the address bar of internet browser - as seen on your tablet
manage your files from your laptop to tablet via internet browser

Example:
<create directory>[Movies]
<click> directory [Movies]
<choose file>
<upload files>

when you are done just close both the browser and the wifi file explorer app
you should be able to check your movie files in the Movies directory using file manager (e.g. Astro) and watch your movies using MoboPlayer

cheers

i just wanted to say thxs so much gabeyong. your 1st post actually is working. like i said it was probably something i was doing wrong and that is what it was. i wasnt double clicking on the storage icon for it to bring up the folder icons. i just loaded 9 movies on my Iconia. so now the trip wont be so bad. Thxs alot again

This is way off base, but I'm really impressed with Gabeyong thoughtful and "friendly" answers. There's nothing much in his profile. No location, type of work, etc. I'm not much interested in "credentials" as his responses are sufficient. Apple > Android or just +?
