You can start here http://galaxys.samsungmobile.com/userguide/ :)

Errata:

This should also help a lot:

"You'd think that you'd go to the Gallery or Video player section to figure out how to put files on but its actually in PC connections then theres all different connections."

Easiest way is to set your phone to mass storage mode under settings, about phone, usb settings. Then connect your phone to usb, mount the drive by pulling down the notification bar and selecting USB connection, mount drive. Copy your videos from your pc to your phone. It supports most formats and it doesnt really matter where you copy it to. I copy mine to media to keep it tidy.

Someuser, thanks for offering him some help there.

Piterski, not really helpful mate, especially as it doesn't answer his question and also becaues that user guide isn't the most intuitive. You'd think that you'd go to the Gallery or Video player section to figure out how to put files on but its actually in PC connections then theres all different connections. Would have been more helpful to do a quick copy and paste perhaps? :S :)

Thanks so far guys, but i need steps from the beginning, like what do I do to the DVD? How do I convert it to Divx format ?

Oh ok. You'll have to rip the DVD onto your PC using any software with this function, such as Nero. Theres also a lot of converters out there although I've never needed to convert to DivX, I either just download in that format or use .avi which the phone also accepts.
Might be easier just downloading what films you want from torrent sites and then uploading them to your phone. This is not a recommended method though as downloading films is illegal unless you have the actual DVD. ;-)
