Sansa is a brand of MP3 player manufactured by the SanDisk Corporation. There are several different lines of Sansa MP3 players, and there are three that have video ability: the Sansa Fuze, Sansa View and the Sansa e200-series players. But being able to download your favorite videos and take them with you wherever you go won't do you much good if you don't know how to play them back to watch them.
