The Philips GoGear SA5285 is capable of playing WMV formatted videos. Before a video can be transferred it must be analyzed, and possibly converted, by the MediaConverter management software developed by ArcSoft. Movies and videos can be taken from the save location on the computer or ripped from a DVD disc. Philips states that this particular GoGear model has up to five hours of video playback when the battery is fully charged.

5. Select the destination, "Philips GoGear," for the video file in the "Convert to" menu.
