Wifey took quite a good video inside an A320 taking off from Auckland, Dur about 7 mins, and I'd like to transfer it to the PC.

I connected the S3 to a Win 7 machine and got some kind of wizard, but no folder structure as such. Also it called it an GT-I9300 and said there were or new photos or videos. The S3 does have an extra memory card.

Also have a choice of Win7 or XP machines if that helps/matters...

Thanks for any assistance.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the S3 is not locked (IE the phone is displaying the normal desktop screen) otherwise you won't see the directory structure.

Providing it is unlocked you should see two folders - "Phone" and "Card". Under each of these are numerous sub folders, you need to look in the sub folder "DCIM". Under the DCIM folder will be a folder "Camera". This is where all your photos and movies are stored.

IE Look at "GT-I9300\Card\DCIM\Camera" or "GT-I9300\Phone\DCIM\Camera" (It depends on where you have chosen to store photos and movies)
