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.

•
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.
1.5 SEE PLAYING YOUR PC'S SHARED VIDEOS (UPNP)
•
When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives
you the possibility to watch, directly on your device, shared videos
stored in your PC's Windows Media® Library.
•
For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11
or higher* installed on your PC.
•
The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared
videos from your PC's Windows Media® Library.
•
See: Playing your PC's Shared Media Files (UPnP) .
* There are other products on the market that also can share media files using
the UPnP standard.
1.6 WATCHING WEB TV
With the optional 'Web TV & Radio' plug-in, you will be able to watch numerous
Internet TV channels, directy on your ARCHOS.
