How to download videos on the Lg Rumor / Scoop AX260, UX260

You need a sd micro card - I got a 2gb card on ebay for about $12.

1. Go to youtube and play the video you would like to download. Make sure the quality of the video and of the audio is good.
2. Copy the video URL from the address bar of your browser (select the entire url and press CTRL/C).



3. Go to http://keepvid.com/
4. In the URL text box paste (click text box and press CTRL/V) the youtube url you copied on step 2. and click the download button.
5. Right-click the "download link" (video.mp4 - High Quality) and choose 'Save Target As...' to download the video to your PC.



6. The 'Save As' dialog box will appear. Select a location where to save the file. Then change File Name (keep the .mp4 extension) and press the Save button. The video is now on your computer.

NOW YOU NEED TO CONVERT the downloaded video from mp4 format to 3g2 phone format.

7. DOWNLOAD the "Freez 3GP Video Converter" program.
It is FREEWARE and easy to use. The file is called "freez_3gpconverter.exe".
Here the link

8. Install "freez_3gpconverter.exe" on your local PC and run it.
9. Click the "add" button and select the video or videos you downloaded on step 6.
10. Change format to "3GPP2".
11. Make sure video Resolution is 176X144 and Video Quality is set to "5".
12. Click the "Convert now button (see picture below).
- By default the converted file/s will be saved in the 'Freez 3GP Video
Converter' sub-folder called '3gpOutput'
e.g. C:\Freez 3GP Video Converter\3gpOutput.

13. Open the 3gpOutput folder and copy all videos.
14. Plug your sd card into your PC. Open the sd card folder and paste all video files in the VIDEO folder.
15. Remove the sd card from your PC. Plug the sd card into your phone and enjoy the videos.



Good Luck, Marco
