CREATING COMPATIBLE VIDEO FILES WITH YOUR COMPUTER
If some of your videos don’t play on your ARCHOS, you may need to convert them to
a compatible format:
The easiest way to do this is by using Windows Media® Player 10 or higher to
transfer videos to your ARCHOS. Windows Media® Player will automatically con-
vert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.
See your Windows Media
®
Player help instructions for more information.
If you don’t want to use Windows Media® Player, a search on the Internet should
allow you to find suitable utility programs to do this job.
If you would like to simply copy and paste unprotected DVD video files from
your PC onto your ARCHOS without converting them to WMV format, you can
purchase the Cinema plug-in from the ARCHOS website (www.archos.com). The
same is also true for video podcasts in the H.264 format. In this case, purchase
the Video Podcast plug-in.
