5MB is nothing. Just go ahead and download it to either the phone or memory stick and you're set. You may use infrared, bluetooth or card reader.

what the above poster failed to mention is that the files need to be in an mpeg4 format. that is what format the p910a uses for vids. do more research on the resolutions and bitrates that you need to get tehm in so that they play smoothly on your p910a.

a very better option i would say is to download or find yourself SmartMovie (from Lonely Cat Games). it is a converter and movie player that by far is a better and easier to use, convert, playback movies. Smart Movie UIQ converts the video into AVI format which is the format it uses to playback movies.

you can forward, rewind, stretch-to-fit, and correct speech timing for the movies once youve encoded them using their converter. i personally have the matrix reloaded, kung fu ustle, and tombstone... converted on my 512mb pro duo. also the FPS smoothness of the video is the best i have seen if you encode it using the Nokia 7710 size (320x160) selection. being a resolution that isnt full screen i am able to watch all the fight scenes in Matrix Reloaded
smoothly without it looking like a picture show. you can always set teh option in SmartMovie to ZOOM if you want full screen, but you WILL notice a loss of clarity and fps.

PS - the AVI format it converts too is usually a good amount smaller in size than the mpeg4 format and the converter is pretty fast in doing conversions.
