And computer users nowadays are likely storing many video clips in their hard disk.

However, because of the screen size and the video sources, they may need to convert the videos on computer before importing their clips to this beautiful mobile device. If we want our videos playback for the Zune, we must convert the unfit video files to Zune video files by MP4, H.264 or WMV formats.
