    I load Mp3 files from my pc into Kindle Internal Storage > Music folder.  This works fine because Home Main Menu has an option named Music.  I can play this music from Kindle, although not the best audio. 
    Now I want to load and play videos.  Kindle Main Menu has an option for Videos.  But Internal Storage does not have a Videos folder.  So I created a new folder named VIDEOS.  I drag WMV files from my pc to the new folder.  But when I go to Main Menu Videos,  they are not there.

George,

welcome to KindleBoards!

Yes, the 8.9 can play videos.  And I was pretty sure there was a Video folder.  Back in a sec, unless one of our members beats me to it!

The video folder is on the SD card. It's been awhile since I did this. You may have to restart the Fire to get them to actually show up, and I think they show up in the Gallery. And don't have names....

Here's one link I found:

Yes it can and it plays them beautifully!  Not sure about wmv files but you can definitely play drm-free .mp4 video files.  I sideloaded mine and there was a videos folder already there which is where I put them.  To play them you don't go to "videos" though (that would just be silly   )  You have to open up your Personal Video app (already on the kindle) to find / play them

You can't play wmv--here is the complete list of all formats (book, audio, video) that the Fire can read; the video formats are last:

Kindle (AZW), KF8, TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible Enhanced format (AAX), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, Dolby Digital (AC-3), Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, PCM/WAVE, OGG, WAV, MP4, AAC LC/LTP, HE-AACv1, HE-AACv2, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, HTML5, CSS3, MP4, 3GP, VP8(.webm)

So that would be one of the problems. Sorry, I thought wmv was one of the formats that could be read.

You might want to check out some of the 3rd party video players. Some of them do support playing additional formats, such as wmv files. Vplayer and MX Player are a couple that are supposed to support wmv.
