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
• 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.
