If you are a Mac user and have a Galaxy Note 3/Note 4, you probably have already noticed that this Android phone does not seem to be accessible when connected via USB to the Mac. This is because The USB connection uses the MTP protocol, which is not supported by Mac OS X natively.

Therefore, you first need to install Android File Transfer and Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 USB Drivers for Mac. By following these steps you can mount the phone and move local videos, music and photos to Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 for watching on the go.

1. Install Android File Transfer on your Macintosh.

Note: Now, you can click the Videos option (instead of Music) in Step 3 and then follow the rest of the steps to add video files to your phone.

Like the Galaxy Note 3/Note 4, it does not include an SD card slot for additional storage, so you may need to compress very big file to smaller file size.
Part IV: Transfer unsupported media files to Galaxy Note 3, Note 4 

Before transferring, you need to make sure that the file format is supported by the Galaxy Note 3/Note 4. Refer to Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 supported formatAlthough Galaxy Phone has large and high-res screen, it cannot break the boundary of playing Android compatible videos like MP4/H.264 only.

To play SD/HD Videos(HD MKV, AVI, Tivo, VOB, MPG, WMV, FLV, F4V, MTS, M2TS, etc.) on your Galaxy Note 3/Note 4, you need to prepare a video conversion software, such as  Pavtube Video Converter to convert HD video to Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 optimized H.264 .mp4 files before downloading them to the phone.

And since Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 does not support an external Blu-ray or DVD drive, you need to rip your own Blu-ray and DVD movies to fit in Galaxy Note 3/Note 4 for enjoying.
