Hey guys, question. Since this phone doesn't function in USB MAss Storage mode, what are my options if I want to take a movie I have on my PC and transfer it to the phone?
Thanks for your help!

It DOES function in USB mass storage mode, hence you copy your videos normally.
No. It's MTP. You need a recent Windows Media Player if you're using Windows. You should be able to use HTC sync manager.
My HTC ONE is shown as an add-on device and I can copy anything onto/ from it normally, by dragging / dropping. This behaviour is observed both in Win8 and in Win7. The phone itself is not rooted and it has a stock firmware
...but that doesn't make it USB Mass Storage.
It uses Media Transfer Protocol, something that could have better support on linux and mac.
For example, I doubt you could plug it into a digital picture frame or network media player and have it work.
If an animal walks like a dog and barks like dog...
Being a layman, I have no idea about what protocol precisely HTC One uses internally, and tbh I don't care since it works exactly like a normal USB device with both of my PCs.
Good for you. However, it's not as easy if you're not running Windows 7 or Windows 8 because it doesn't support UMS, it supports MTP, so in this case it neither walks or barks like a dog.
Next time, if somebody posts "Since this phone doesn't function in USB MAss Storage mode", you'll know it "doesn't function in USB Mass Storage mode" and you'll have no need to incorrectly correct them.

I probably should have mentioned that I am running the latest Mac OS X 10.8.3
I transferred music and pictures through the HTC Sync Manager, but I don't see how I can transfer movies trough it.
If you're rooted, you can mount your phone through USB as a mass storage device in recovery. Assuming you are not, you can try something like AirDroid.
Holy Freaking Crap!!!
PLEASE BE CORRECT!!! I just booted into TWRP and my Win7Ult box shows the drive as USB but is not accessible. I'd like to copy over about 10 to 20 Gb of media at a time. In the good ol' days, I'd have a bunch of microSD cards, and just pop one in and the other out (1 minute flat, DONE!). But even just syncing, I always had the option to set it and forget it, moving over tons of audio, video, etc. via USB sync programs, such as SyncBack, which will not work with MTP.
So, here I am, wondering if you have some method I don't know about. MTP always stalls and hangs on that much data, and I don't want to use Windows Media Player, etc. just to copy media over (I don't use "libraries").
Will this work with TWRP? Must it be CWM recovery?
But the recovery is from the same team, and that's why I asked the OP to check if his recovery has a mount feature
