Reformatting files and copying supported file types

You can view photos in popular formats such as JPG, BMP , TIFF , and GIF on your device. You can
view videos in formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-4, MJPEG+ADPCM, and MJPEG+PCM.
When you copy a photo or video from your computer to your device using palmOne™
Manager (Windows), you can choose to reformat the photo or video to a format that works best
for viewing on your device. There are numerous video formats, and not all types can be converted
to a format that's viewable on your device.
If you choose to reformat the file, the reformatted version is renamed so that it does not overwrite
the original version on your computer when you synchronize. Only the new reformatted file is
synchronized; the original file is not synchronized.
In LifeDrive Manager, you can also choose Copy and keep synchronized, which allows you to keep
the photo or video in its original format and update it during synchronization.
You can store your photos and videos on your device in the Photos & Videos folder. View and
access the files using the Files application on your device. You can also view the files using
LifeDrive Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows) on your computer. You can
manage items on the hard drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so on,
using LifeDrive Manager (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac and Windows), or Files on your device.
