How to Get My Sansa to Play MP4s

Sansa is a line of media players put out by the company SanDisk. Many of these players are capable of playing the MP4 video format as long as the file is formatted in the right size and type for the player to handle. A fast and effective way to make sure your video is transferred to the player properly is to use the native program Windows Media Player for the transfer.

  Disconnect your player from your computer. Use the player's controls to navigate to the "Video" section of the player. Click the MP4 video listed there to begin playback.
