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 con-
vert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.

• 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 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.
