what media format does the 580 identify
to play in the media center for videos..??

i have been on the phone with NEXTEL
customer service and they told me it
supports .mp4 and .mpeg.. so i downloaded
a few videos that were of those formats..
and the phone never found the files on
the memory card..

so i called up motorola techsupport and
the only part of info they could tell
me is the phone only supports video files
from 8 to 30 secs long.. but would that
stop the phone from actually noticing the
file was there..??

see when putting mp3's i noticed there is
a "audio" folder so i just drapped the
files into that folder and renamed them
under 16 charactors and then you need to
make the mp3 a read-only file through ...

supports ".3gp". Not ".3g2". You can convert some file types to 3gp with a number of programs. one is called Mobile Media Converter I think. Just go to download.com and search "3gp". The time limit on the file is restricted to the size of your memory card, not the phones recorder. I have some full music videos on my i870.

mp3s should be able to work as long as they are under 32 chars including the extension and thats it. read only is not necessary. Hint: you can edit ID tags in Windows media player very easily, to help sort playlists on the phone.
