QUOTE(juliascezer @ Dec 21 2005, 04:36 AM) Dear Forum, I have just purchased the Archos AV 700 mobile DVR and find everything okay, until I transfer recorded programs from my Media Centre XP 2005 to the 700. The files transfer but Archos does not recognise the file types. I am a non-tech. person. is there anything I can do to convert the files or some software I can purchase ? Any replies please in straight forward speak. Any suggestions gratefully received. Merry Christmas all. Regds jc. UK Time 12 45 am.  First - I don't have Archos so I really don't know it's capabilities. I do know that xp/media center records programs in a MS encoded format that limits playing to media player 10. There are 3rd party apps that can recode the programs (Nero recode and one from Sonic), but I have few details on them since I"ve given up on xp/media center and installed Suse/MythTV. That said it may be possible to use windows media player to transfer and recode the video to the Archos (assuming the correct wmp plugin exist). mark |

It is not until you get one that you realize that there are others that can be installed. Regds jc. |
