Feb 13, 2019 - And second, I wasn't able to download content to the SD card in my Pixel Slate. With the new SD Card option in Google Play Movies, I then.
I just bought and downloaded the 90 minute Google 'AlphaGo' documentary movie in HD. It was about 2 GB in size.
It was saved on the SD card in this folder (I obscured the exact name with *):
Android/data/com.google.android.videos/files/Movies/YXJh******NvbQ/ylEP****BE/
In that folder were 156 files with names like this made-up format:
0.163253726153.23764387642386.v3.exo
Each *.v3.exo file was about 2-25 MB in size. There was also a single file called
cached_content_index.exi
So I imagine the download was made into smaller chunks.
The '*.v3.exo' format is a YouTube format.
Well, the files downloaded from the Google Play Movies & TV goes over to the internal storage of the device you can find it over sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.videos/files/Movies,
The files will be in the .wvm format like abc.wvm.

Many cameras and smartphones come equipped with or feature support for SD cards, making these memory cards great for storing photos. While there are a few ways to access the photos on your SD card, the process of downloading the photos to your computer is generally the same.
Connecting to the Computer
How your SD card connects to your computer depends partially on your computer and partially on how you use the card. The three most common options are connecting the card directly via a built-in SD card slot, using an external reader or adapter or by connecting your phone or camera to the computer via a USB cable.
- For built-in card readers, locate the SD card slot on your computer and insert the card. Make sure you're putting the card in correctly or you won't be able to access the data. You also risk damage to the card. If you're using a microSD card, you need a microSD-to-SD adapter card.
- For external card readers or adapters, insert your card into the reader or adapter and connect the reader to your computer. Typically, readers or adapters connect via USB.
- For direct connection between cameras and phones, switch your device to computer or USB mass storage mode, then connect it to the computer via a USB cable.
Using Autoplay
Autoplay is a Windows feature that helps you set a default action for Windows to take when you connect a device, in this case an SD card. Options include opening the SD card in File Explorer as a folder, opening the pictures in an app like the Windows 8 Photos app or Google's Picasa, or in image editing software like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. What options you're presented with depend on what software you have installed on your computer.
Tips
If you change your mind about how you want Autoplay to handle your card when you connect it, insert the card while holding down the Shift key. The Autoplay prompt returns, so you can choose a new default action.
Using File Explorer
Use File Explorer to look through the SD card's contents as a file folder. Press Windows-X to bring up the power user menu and select File Explorer, then select the card from the list of devices and drives. What drive letter is assigned to your card depends on what other storage devices you have connected to your computer.
Downloading the Files
Downloading pictures from the card is a simple copy/paste operation. Before you get started, make sure you have a destination folder ready in your Pictures folder.
Direct from Card
Open the SD card's folder in File Explorer by double-clicking it.
Select the picture(s) that you want to copy to your computer.
Right-click one of the pictures and select Copy if you want to just copy the pictures, or Cut if you want to move them off of the card. Alternatively, you can also press Ctrl-C on your keyboard to copy and Ctrl-X to cut.
Go to the destination folder in File Explorer and right-click it. Select Paste from the list. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl-V on your keyboard to paste. The pictures are now in your folder and can be viewed at any time.
From a Camera or Phone

The process is very similar for cameras or phones. The primary difference is that the photos are stored in a named folder on the SD card. In most cases, the card is listed as DCIM.
Ejecting the device
After you have finished downloading the pictures, eject the card before removing it from your computer. Properly ejecting your card finalizes all read and write operations, so there isn't a chance of losing or corrupting data when you remove the card.
