Copy video to phone from PC without Windows harping about converting to WMV

1

I don't do buffering so when I want to show someone a video I download the source file and copy it from my PC/Windows 7 to my phone via a USB cable.

Every time I copy a video file Windows harasses me to convert it to WMV format.

How do I permanently disable Windows 7 from asking me to convert media files before they begin to copy to a mobile device?

I assume you are copying from a source drive that stores your media. The simplest answer is to disable autoplay, or adjust your autoplay settings.

You could also remove Windows Media Player/Windows Movie Maker if you don't use these tools. You would need to install a 3rd party media player (such as VLC) to regain playback functionality. Here is a how-to on how to uninstall WMP.

I'll uninstall WMP when I get back to that computer. I use VLC. :-) – John – 2016-04-22T07:36:18.463
