video files with the ARCHOS.
- See Putting Files onto the archos to learn more about how to transfer
your computer’s video files with Windows Media® Player.
* For best performance, we recommend that users update to Windows Media®
Player 11 or higher.
• Copy and paste your video files from your computer into the Video folder of your
ARCHOS.
See Transferring Files to learn how to connect/disconnect the ARCHOS from your
computer.
Creating Compatible Video Files with Your Computer
If some of your videos don’t play on your ARCHOS, you may need to transcode 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 convert 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 DVD video files onto your ARCHOS
without converting them to WMV format, you can purchase the Cinema plugin 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.
1.5	Recording Video
• With the optional DVR Station or DVR Travel Adapter (available at
www.archos.com), your ARCHOS will be able to record video from
most any standard video source.
• See: Optional Functionalities.
