Motorola Media Link PC Software

Hi guys, first post here, so glad to find a dedicated Droid forum! Already reserved at Best Buy for this Friday.

Anyways, I did a search and saw no results for the little gem that Gizmodo found in their review of the Droid (I think it was Gizmodo anyways).

Upon complaining how there was no way to sync multimedia and files, they updated the story with a link to Motorola's Media Link software specifically built for Motorola Phones running Android:

I know it's not an end all solution, but I thought it was a great find that I had seen nowhere else, so I wanted to share the link here, enjoy!

Hey and welcome to the forums, nice find also. Enjoy your stay here.

I just downloaded this, and it looks like it will be very useful for importing your iTunes stuff. I like that it is created especially for the Motorola products, specifically the Droid. As soon as I opened it, I was able to see all of my iTunes music and podcasts. Alas, no Audible...

I know this forum topic hasn't been touched in quite a while but I am optimistic someone who has the answer will glance here.....

Does Motorola Media Link automatically convert Divx/Xvid files to mp4 when I try to sync video files????
Sorry if this question has already been asked but I did do my fair share of searching

If you have troubles under WIndows seven,

right click on the Setup.exe, go to properties and run it in compatibility mode to vista SP2
That will work

Yep, it will convert them for you

Perfect! Thank you romeov, really appreciate that.

Now, to pose another question; if Motorola Media Link (which is supposedly pretty "clunky") can convert files to the proper format for the droid, why is there so much discussion on using Handbrake and other stand alone conversion programs to convert videos??

I think it's a terrible program...you are better off just using a third party program to convert your videos and just drag and drop your files.

Any particular reason?
