Tips:
Not all media files can be transferred to Samsung Galaxy Note 4. To make it effortless to start the file transfer, you need to take format compatibility into consideration. For those files such as Blu-ray, DVD or iTunes movies that are incompatible with file syncing, you’d better use a powerful Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Video Converter programs first.
