You need to run a file explorer app such as ES File Explorer that gives you the option to show hidden files. Then they can be located in /sdcard/.samsungvideohub/contents/
They are encrypted and unplayable by any software other than the Samsung video app to my knowledge.

Also the stock browser can do this: menu - settings - show hidden file.

Anyone know of an app that can browse the network and copy files from a share to the device? I am using the ASTRO file manager tool (http://www.appbrain.com/app/astro-file-manager/com.metago.astro)
and the SMB plugin (http://www.appbrain.com/app/astro-smb-module/com.metago.astro.smb)
but files won't copy over.

Give ES File Explorer a try. It's free and ad-free.
Got it! Change view to LAN does it! Thanks.

Thanks. I'm having problems finding the network share capabilities. What's the workflow?

There's a dropdown in the top right that says "Local". Click that and choose LAN.
Just want to know where the .apk files are kept on the phone because I want to manually back up so I don't need to download everytime I do a reset. I also want to keep them on my PC.
I've searched all the folders but could not find them. Are they hidden?
Try using a file manager such as Astro or ES file explorer. They have the ability to save an app to an apk.

I've got both but couldn't find any by using search function.
How do I do it ?
cheers
Just go astro, press menu button, choose tools then backup option.
Then select the app that you want to back up.

I downloaded ES File Explorer, and now when I want to send an MMS and go to add an attachment, my phone asks me if I want to add it via File Explorer or Gallery. I will never send an MMS using File Explorer. How do I make it so File Explorer can't hook into that? I always want to open Gallery when I want to send an MMS.
Get file expert and unistall es way better

I know for most times that happens, there is a check box at the bottom for "use this by default" so if it has that, check it. If it doesn't, you'll just have to deal with it.

When it prompts, check the checkbox before selecting Gallery. This will make it always use the Gallery.

No checkbox is available to check unfortunately.
If I download a PDF file from the browser, it gets stored in the Download folder and I can open it with the downloads app. However if I copy a PDF file from my laptop directly to the Download folder (using MTP) the app does not see it. For music, copying to the Music folder works fine. What is the recommended method for copying files like this so they are accessible on the phone?

Have you tried using an explorer program like Astro to see if it's actually been copied to the device?
I can see and open the file with a file explorer (ES in my case) but my point is that surely it should not be necessary to use third party apps to view a PDF file? I found a thread on android central (I'd link to it but I'm too new to be trusted) that said the downloads app is an app for opening downloaded files only, i.e. presumably based on the browser history, and is not an interface to the Download folder.

That is correct. If you want to find a file in a particular folder including downloads, you'll either use to pdf app to browse for it or a file explorer to do the same. Downloads only gives you info of stuff you have downloaded through the phone.

I downloaded the User Manual to the Downloads folder.
How do I put it (or a shortcut to it) on my Home Screen?
Thanks, cb

If you have ES File Explorer (if you don't, it's free on the market), go to sdcard/download, press and hold until the menu comes up and select shortcut.

I am using Astro File Manager.
I can get to the file in the download folder, but where do I put it?
Where is the folder for the Home Screen?
